Balloon Tires
Anyone have any experience with the big polyurethane balloon tires on the pier? Will they stand up to the roughness of the wood planks?

Re: Balloon Tires
I took my balloon-tired beach cart on the pier four or five times before I got a regular pier cart and I don't think the tires would be hurt as long as the cart wasn't loaded down with too much weight---or encountered a stray treble hook. The tires are bulky, though.

My cart only has a key chain style ring to hold the wheels on ,you can take them off and back on in less than 5 minutes.

Re: Balloon Tires
Thanks, John. I'll be looping through OB Tuesday on my way back to Enterprise. Will stop by and get set up. You have the cart also? Right now I'm using my home made job that weighs about 80 lbs and is a pain to load and unload.

5 minutes to swap out and that was 1st time. Prolly get it down to <3 minutes after a few tries. Conversion couldn't be much easier.Fish. Just fish.

This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for an abundant fishery and a magnificent pier, from which to access that fishery. I'm thankful for the morning view of the sunrise and what a spectacular view it is...
Happy Thanksgiving!
