Wheelchair wheels and tyre types

There are have three types: solid wheelchair wheelsinflatable wheelchair tyre and tubeless wheelchair tyres

The solid wheelchair wheels walks faster on flat ground,it's won't air leak and not easy to push, but it vibrates greatly on uneven road, and it is not easy to pull out when it is stuck in the ditch with the same width as the tire.

The inflatable wheelchair tyre with inflatable inner tube is difficult to push and also easy to puncture, but the vibration is smaller than the solid type comfortable to sit up.

The tubeless wheelchair tyres without inner tube even if punctured the tyre will not leak air quickly. And the inner part is also inflated and comfortable to sit up, but it is more difficult to push than the solid type.
