Wheelchair Rear Wheel Solid Tires (Pair) 24x1 3/8" PU Non Pneumatic Tires, Suitable for Manual Wheelchair Tire Replacement (24x1 3/8" Black).

These are well-made solid rubber tires that fit the wheelchair wheels very well. Like others have said, they can be difficult to get on. Knowing this, after reading many of the reviews here on Amazon, I took the wheels and these new tires to a bicycle shop to have them installed. They tried, but weren't able to get them done, because they were using a small, plastic bicycle tire installation tool, which didn't work.So, I thought I would just try it myself. I watched the installation video carefully. Then, did exactly as they did and I got the tires on the wheels in about 5 minutes each tire. You must use the two zip ties as they do in the video, and you must hold the tire in place with one hand as you go, as shown in the video.A very important thing is that you have to have leverage against the wheel as you put the tire on; especially, the further along you go, since the tighter it gets. That is why the video shows the wheel still on the chair during installation--to provide leverage so the wheel doesn't move sideways when you put it on. I actually had the wheels off for my installation, but I leveraged them between the tailgate of my truck and the bed -- holding them in place from moving side-to-side during installation. You cannot get them on without such leverage.I won't minimize the fact that it takes some muscle to pull the tire up and over the wheel rim with the tool provided, especially, the further you go. But, using the tool, and following the video installation instructions explicitly, it can be done by most reasonable fit people. But, again, the key is to leverage the wheel, or "bind" it in such a way that it doesn't move side-to-side during installation. I didn't use any lubricants, no hot water soaking, etc. They WILL fit, even though it seems like they won't. The rubber can be stretched plenty far enough to install the tires on the wheels.

I am in love with my new tires. They are just as described. When I placed my order I didn't notice what else was in the picture I just looked at the size of the tires so I was pleasantly surprised with the included tools. They included everything necessary to put those tires on with minimal trouble. I thought I had to have one of my brothers to help me but with the ties and the tools my mom and I put the tires on with minimum trouble. Very happy with my purchase.

It took hand strength to get these on. They seemed to pointed at first but settled quickly.

These tires are so resistant when you push yourself. It takes so much more energy to use these. Thank God I can use my legs. It sounded too good to be true to not have to put air in my tires all the time and it was.

Even though this tire is designed for metal wheels I opted to try them on my plastic wheels since they're the correct size. I soaked the tires in hot hot water for 30 minutes. I used the zip ties and wrestled the tires on with automobile tire irons which are longer than the ones provided. With a satisfactory "snap" the tires were on without removing the wheels from the wheelchair. I'm a 63 year old female, not that strong, so I felt the hot water presoak and the use of longer tire irons made all the difference for me.

The package arrived as described, with all items needed in the box.1) Tires come folded over in a small box, so you will need to unfold tires and let them regain natural shape overnight. A heavy book helps.2) I tried to put the 1st tire on and it was a beast. I was extremely difficult to get the last 40%of the tire on the rim. This took me nearly 2 hours, moving centimeters at a time. Final result finished 1 wheel and very sore hands from trying to keep tire in place, while grappling to get the rest of it on the rim.3) I went back through and read another review that mentioned soaking the tire in water to soften it up. I let the tire soak completely submerged for 4 hours.4) The 2nd tire went on easier initially. I then used cable ties to keep it strapped in along the way, which resulted in less pressure on my hands.5) After it was 80% on the rim, I flipped over the metal tool, similar to how the instructional video indicated and wrestled the last part of the tire onto the rim.6) After that was done, i went around the rim, consistently checking, to insure the lip was snugly on the rim.Total time to complete the 2nd tire installation was 20 minutes and no sore hands.Hope this review helps

I am not affiliated with the seller! I own a wheelchair repair shop in Winston Salem and these tires are OEM for the manufacturer. They’re designed to be put on by a machine, as are all of the other tires you’re looking at. I assure you. They ARE the correct tire. Polyurethane will stretch easier if you heat it up. Cut a hole in a larger box and put a heat gun through it to do that. DO NOT heat just one spot or you will blister the tire and possibly compromise it. Heat inside the box around 3 minutes and it will go on so much easier. DO NOT GO TO A BICYCLE REPAIR SHOP!!! They don’t have the right equipment to put it on. I had to buy these because my usual vendor ran out and I needed a pair ASAP and they came quick. I hope this helps you all.

Very difficult to install and they do NOT roll well at all. They are high resistance to free rolling under load/weight assuming it's due to the material they are made of or the tread pattern?
