Does anyone know of anywhere online, or well known stores, that sell puncture proof wheelbarrow tyres at a reasonable price?  I have just been to B&Q to get one, the hole in the centre of the wheel is too big for my barrow.  Surely I cannot be the only one finding it hard to find the right size?  The ones at B&Q on the tyre is says it's 350.8.  Mine says 350.6.  I think the screw that goes through the middle on mine is 14mm, but I can tell the one in B&Q is much bigger than the hole in mine.  Some of the prices of them I could find, is almost the same price to buy a new wheelbarrow

How about putting some Oko  tyre sealant in a standard tyre,in my opinion they are much easier to push than the type your after?
Grimazon have it for £10.50 delivered if you can't find cheaper. one bottle should do about 4 tyres so maybe you could split with someone?

there's these ones but I have no idea how much they cost http://www.greentyre.co.uk/index.html  but they look good.

I would try the sealant in my wheelbarrow but I can't find the puncture

Thanks for the reply Smud6ie, this looks a much cheaper alternative than what I am looking for, don't know why I didn't consider doing it instead lol.  Thanks for that, I will give it a go.

Thanks for the reply also, Annen.  I think I will give the sealant a try.

I have shocking yellow "Greentyre" tyres on my old treader.  I also have two green ones on my water bodger - wheelbarrow size.   Marvelous jobs.  The company are in Middlesbourough.

Cheers,    Tony.

I don't see any prices on their site, how much did they cost?

you don't need to find the puncture,you just squirt the sealant through the valve stem with the valve removed,replace the valve pump up the tyre and it seals,you may have to spin the wheel a few times to spread sealant around the circumference.and if the tyre is tubeless,find a way to hold beads against rim

Oh thanks smudgie I didn't know that!
I've just been out and brought the barrow home to use the off season to find the puncture.

Perfect sounds just the job

Having said  a repair is not required,its as well to inspect the tyre for nails that could be poking through on tube tyres or any  splits if the airloss is fast.
I may have said this before on  another thread ,we use this stuff on all our off road machinery and when its time to replace the tyres some look like hedgehogs on the inside.
The only downside,it can be messy when replacing tubeless tyres when worn out.

  I was in ALDI earlier and noticed they had tyre sealant, can't remember the price , but think
   
  it was less than 10.50

This is good news! 

I've had my B&Q galvanised wheelbarrow for about 10 years and even though it probably only gets used three or four times a year I've still had 2 punctures, both caused by a single hawthorn thorn going straight through the tyre and inner tube - each cost about £10 for a new inner tube - you could ask why I didn't ask for it to be patched but that would have cost even more (and if you're wondering why I didn't patch it myself I couldn't get the floppin' tyre off the wheel with the tools I'd got available!)
