Better Quality Jockey Wheel

Is there a better quallity unit availabl.

Thank you for your help

I have posted this before and received some stick for my foolish action !!!

I bought a new bright red plastic jockey wheel for my nice new caravan as it matched the red stripe down the side

Not wishing to get it wrong I looked at my old steel jockey wheel tyre and read 4 bar

Just after 3 bar the nice bright plastic new jockey wheel exploded.The nice red plastic was shattered .

The pressure for plastic wheels is 35 psi I later discovered.

Can anyone report on the performance of the new wide solid jockey wheels as fitted inside the A frame and is it possible to replace them with the inflatable type
