When choosing a wheelbarrow tire, the first thing you need to do is take some measurements so you get the proper size. The three measurements you'll need are the diameter of the wheel, the diameter of the bore hole (where the axle goes), and how deep that hole is. After that, you have options. You can get a wheel that is manufactured for those exact measurements or one that's part of a universal fit kit. A pneumatic wheel has air in it so it provides better shock absorption, but it is prone to flats. Solid wheels are flat-free, but deliver a less favorable user experience. Additionally, wheel centers can be plastic or metal (for durability), and you can get them without or with bearings (for smoother operation).
