So I overloaded the cart on my John Deere X350. It's a 7P utility cart. Apparently when the tires got squashed the valve stem on the tube went inside the wheel.

I'm thinking I can recover this by removing the tire. But there's a high likelihood I pop the tube when attempting this.

So I'd actually prefer a solid tire. I can't seem to find any. 13X4.00-6 is what I see on the tire.



Maybe the forum has some sources I can't find? I've checked the usual tractor supply etc.

I would consider filling those tires with foam and make them solid. You have nothing to loose.

That's a thought. Seen some bad reviews of doing this but I think it depends on the type of foam used. Some people use Great Stuff, but it breaks down too easy.

I recently watched a youtube on this and the guy used Great Stuff Crack and Seal(I think). I'm about to do this on my zero turn when it gets a little warmer....wish I could give you some first hand experience but not yet.

I've put tubes in my logsplitter tires. It was a like wrestling with a four foot raccoon. But it can be done, ag service centers deal with it, some tire shops will refuse.

A solid will come premounted on the rim unless it's a bolt together unit.

Find a tire shop that does urethane foam, I used to run a shop that did it. I don't remember doing any this small, 4.80-8 wheelbarrows were popular. We did up to 29.5-25 loader tires, that was as large as we could maneuver.

Where I worked , we used to get all sorts of tires foamed . Basically anything that would cause us issues by having a flat tire . With the exception of trucks of course .

Get a good measurement of the axle diameter then go to a Tractor Supply type store in your area. Might even grab the one your replacing. You might not get an exact replacement but find a matching pair that fit in the space you have.

I did this last spring, about $70 for the pair I think wheel is of course included.

I have the same trailer and the tires failed rather quickly.

I ended up going to Harbor Freight for a pair of solid rubber tires ... and they work great ! I load the heck of of them. No problems.
