Compares well to most other wheelbarrow wheels/tires on the market.
It's not so much that this wheel/tire assembly is particularly good -- it is just better than most of the others on the market, which are garbage.
Most tires are made in China and are very poor quality and have tubes. They crack and are prone to flats.
This tire is also made in China but seems to be better than most. It is a tubeless tire and is supposed to be '2-ply' although it does not say that anywhere on either sidewall.
The sidewalls are marked "4 PR" and "Load Range A".
Load range A indicates a 2-ply tire.
However, 4 PR means a "4-ply rating". I assume they are actually 2-ply, since that is how they are advertised.
The bearings appear to be the same as those in the cheap Tractor Supply wheel/tire that was replaced -- although to be fair, just because they look the same does not mean they are.
The wheel spins with very little friction.
There is one (1) grease fitting, which means that it order to grease the bearing on the opposite side, the entire hub has to be filled with grease.
