Question: is a solid rubber tire, versus pneumatic, an issue for a tail dolly? I had put a solid rubber wheel on mine years ago due to a flat tire and caught all sorts of grief from nay-sayers. Something about vibration from uneven ground being transmitted into the boom with ill effect.

Thanks.


Polyurethane foam-filled tyres in the same size as most tail dollies are
used for the front wheels of common wheel chairs. They're quite cheap
(the $$$$ word 'aviation' doesn't appear) and work perfectly.

google will tell you your local supplier.
