Common questions about 8 in wheels
Are 8 in wheels good for grass? They handle short grass and packed gravel better than smaller wheels but are not intended for deep sand or soft mud. Can I use these indoors? Yes, they are narrow enough for most standard doorways and turn well on low-pile carpet. How do I maintain the wheels? Periodically check for debris in the axles and ensure the brakes still grip the rubber surface firmly. Are these wheels solid? Most models in this set use solid, non-marking tires that do not require air or inflation.
