Tread Design
The aggressive knobby tread pattern on this wheelchair caster assembly was designed for traction and grip over comfort and smoothness. This makes it ideal for light snow, gravel roads, grassy areas, etc. On smooth surfaces however, the ride will be rougher.
Choice of Tire
You can choose from a pneumatic tire or a foam filled tire. The pneumatic tire has an inner tube where you can vary the air pressure a little to change the ride quality but you may be susceptible to flat tires. The foam filled tire requires no air for flat free peace of mind. The outer tire is the same on both models.
8 x 2 in. Wheelchair Caster Wheel with Knobby Tire Fitment Notes
Many Invacare power wheelchairs today use a 7/16" inner diameter bearing and most other brands use a 5/16" inner diameter bearing. Measuring your existing caster assembly is recommended to confirm size needed.
Measuring your existing wheelchair caster:
Purchasing the proper wheelchair caster is as simple as measuring the old one. Even if the size is written on the existing caster, you still want to make sure the hub width and bearing size will be correct. Properly measuring will ensure you order the correct caster and prevent an installation headache and the hassle of sending them back.
