Hi, Lori..I have solid tires on my Rival powerchair, it took me a bit to get
used to them, I just go slower on sidewalks and etc. with cracks in them, The
Air tires are a smoother ride but then you have to worry about flats and low
air. Seems like many providers are using solid type now. Dan H.***

About a year ago I was told that they no longer provide pneumatic (air) tires
for their Permobile power chairs. I have a Permobile M 300 and the day before
Thanksgiving I got a flat tire on one of my large tires. Until they could order
new tires thankfully it held air (and if it lost any air I have an air pump)
and then we put Slime on the tire until I could get new tires.
They were finally gotten and put on yesterday but riding on these solid tires
is a NIGHTMARE. I live in an area where most everywhere has smooth walkways
(without having to resort to sidewalks) and I went out today for one of my many
walks and it hurt like hell. Right up my spine and then giving me a headache.
Looks like now I can even enjoy a walk.
So, I was wondering if all of you have solid tires now?
Thanks!
