Hi all, Just like to know, is there any advantage of having a pneumatic tire as opposed to a solid one. Also I have a solid one at the moment, is it ok to swap. The jockey is on the outside of the A frame. Thanks in advance, Ray.

Ray,
If you are just thinking about changing the wheel ? have a read of this thread
Might be just as easy to change the whole assembly IMO

Hi if you have a narrow !.5 inch jockey wheel then a Pneumatic wheel would be worth fitting as it makes manoeuvring much easier with a fixed mover. How ever you will need a complete new jockey assembly ,but do not buy a plastic wheel & tyre as they have a habit of the tyre coming off the hub ,& losing air pressure. My old Bailey had a wideish solid wheel about 2.5 to 3 inches & I moved back to that due to the plastic tyre & hub Pneumatic tyre problems I had fitted.
Hi, thanks for the replies. I was thinking about the whole thing, as their not that expensive. In the handbook it says that when towing the wheel should face forward, but I suppose it wouldent make that much difference, regards Ray.

It does make a difference on speed bumps. Forward is closer to the hitch and therefore higher.
