Wheelchair Tire Replacements

Solid wheelchair tires typically have a life span of 1.5 to 2 year before they start to show signs of wear and tear by cracking or breaking off. But remember, even if the wheelchair is stored and not used for a long period of time, the tires will still age and deteriorate due to the oxygen that hardens the particles in the rubber making it less flexible thus causing it to crack.
It is highly advisable and time saving to change both tires together even if only one tire is damaged because if one side is already cracking, sooner or later the other will also start to crack. Also by changing only one side might cause the wheelchair to lose its alignment because the older worn out tire will have less friction compared to the new tire.
