Durable Non-Marking Solid Urethane Tire

Constructed from high-density solid polyurethane (urethane), this tire eliminates flat tires, air pressure checks, and punctures. The durable, non-marking material provides exceptional wear resistance against rough pavement while keeping indoor tile and hardwood floors free from scuffs.
