Product Information
Full details
This Wanda TY8143 Mobility Scooter Tyre is designed for electric wheelchairs and scooters, offering reliable performance and durability for everyday use. Its key benefit is the grey non-marking rubber compound, which prevents floor damage and reduces cleaning needs, while its 4-ply rating ensures robust load-bearing capacity. A potential consideration is that it is a pumped tyre requiring an inner tube, which adds a maintenance step.

FAQs
Does this tyre come with an inner tube?
No, this is a pumped tyre and requires a separate inner tube for inflation. The inner tube is not included with the tyre.
What is the maximum weight this tyre can support?
The tyre has a maximum load capacity of 250lbs (113kg) when inflated to 36psi.
How do I know if this tyre will fit my mobility scooter?

Is it difficult to install this tyre?
Installation requires removing the wheel and can be challenging without the proper tools and experience. It is recommended to have it installed by a professional if you are not comfortable with tyre fitting.
How often should I check the tyre pressure?
It is advisable to check the tyre pressure regularly, at least once a week, or before each significant use, to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Will this tyre leave marks on my home floors?
No, this tyre is made from a grey non-marking rubber compound specifically designed to prevent scuff marks and stains on most indoor flooring.
Troubleshooting
Tyre losing air rapidly
Check the inner tube for punctures and ensure the valve stem is properly sealed. Inspect the tyre bead for a secure fit against the rim. If the inner tube is damaged, replace it.
Scuff marks appearing on floor
Although designed to be non-marking, very aggressive turning or specific floor types might still leave faint marks. Ensure the tyre is clean. If marks persist, check for debris trapped in the tread.
Uneven wear on the tyre
Ensure the tyre is inflated to the correct pressure and that the wheel alignment on the mobility device is correct. Rotate the tyre if possible, or consider replacing it if wear is significant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This tyre is a pumped tyre and requires an inner tube to function. Ensure you have the correct size inner tube compatible with a 198mm diameter tyre. Installation typically involves removing the wheel from the mobility device, carefully prying the old tyre off the rim, inserting the new inner tube and tyre, and then seating the bead. Inflate to the recommended pressure, usually indicated on the tyre sidewall or in your device manual.
Compatibility: The Wanda TY8143 is designed for mobility scooters and electric wheelchairs. Verify that your device's wheel hub is compatible with a tyre of 198mm overall diameter and 49mm section width.
Care: Regularly check the tyre pressure and inflate as needed to the recommended PSI (36psi for maximum load). Inspect the tyre tread for wear and tear, and check for any embedded objects. Clean the tyre with a damp cloth as necessary; avoid harsh chemicals. The non-marking nature of the tyre means external cleaning is usually sufficient to keep it looking good.
