    Fishing cart axle lubrication

    I wonder what is the best lubrication is for pier/surf cart tires and axles as when I used the hard rubber tires the plastic was wearing out from the metal axles and when I switched to an orange balloon tire kit the same happened, I did follow the listed lube recommended but the noise and wear continues so I switched to "Blaster dry lube" from an auto parts store and that works but needs reapplying from time to time.

    The instructions with mine said silicone spray ONLY, but I have balloon tires.
    RTR anyway.

    With metal to plastic contact the softer will wear , the plastic . I have both types of wheels and I know that at some point I'll have to replace the wheels or come up with a bushing / bearing setup , As for now I spray them with silicon spray after I hose them off, do the
    rods and reels at the same time .
