Handyman Club of  America Gives Top Approval Rating in Field Tests:

Flat-Free Carefree Wheelbarrow Tires Receive Member Tested Seal of Approval

The world’s first flat-free wheelbarrow tire -- the Carefree Tire® developed by Arnco -- has received the Handyman Club of America Member Tested Seal of Approval and an exceptionally high approval rating from members of the nationwide organization who tested the tire.

Test results were announced by Bill Hory, General Manager for Carefree Tire LLC, the South Gate , Calif. based company that has become the world’s largest supplier of micro-cellular polyurethane tires to the material handling and lawn and garden industries.

According to Mr. Hory, the Carefree Tires received an overall rating of 9 out of a perfect score of 10 from club members, and was awarded a 9 in every category – quality, performance, design and durability. 

The tire, which reduces downtime for contractors, has also proven the perfect answer for frustrated homeowners who are greeted each spring with a wheelbarrow tire gone flat from months of sitting idle in the shed. Unlike pneumatic tires, the Carefree Tire will never lose air. It is manufactured by a proprietary process using a customized formula of Advanced Polymeric Urethane (APU) that makes the tire flat proof without adding any significant weight. The 100 percent micro-cellular polyurethane material also lasts at least four-to-ten times longer than pneumatic tires. 

The tire is backed by a lifetime guarantee and eliminates all chances of a flat or tire breakdown.   It performs as well as air-filled tires, won’t crack or ooze from long exposures to sunlight and is oil and chemical resistant. It will never go flat, is amazingly lightweight, very durable and is significantly easier to roll than ordinary hard rubber tires. And, for the first time, the tire is being stocked in four designer colors -- red, blue, yellow and green -- as well as black. 

Carefree wheelbarrow tires retail for about $45 each, and are available at home centers, hardware and lawn/garden retail outlets under several brand names, including Carefree Tire®, Everhard®, Never Flat and True Temper®.
