Is Version of Trailer Valet that Has Solid Tire More Reliable than Inflated

Question

Question:

According to your QandA expert reply by: Jameson C. https://www.etrailer.com/question-263964.html#/ The current versions of the Trailer Valet XL part numbers # TVXL25 for a 2-5/16 inch ball or part # TVXL2 for a 2 inch ball both use the solid tire that cant lose air. This is the style of Trailer Valet wheel we now offer for both dollies. Just a moment ago, I visited the Trailer Valet website and they state that the product comes with pneumatic tires. Couldnt find a reference to solid tires. I think Id prefer the airless type so the thing would always be ready and never cause problems with flats or low tire pressure. Do you know how long solid tires might be expected to last? Can you clarify? Is this an old answer or are there multiple versions of the Trailer Valet XL25? Thanks.

The current version of the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly # TVXL25 has solid tires. Trailer Valet actually does not offer the version that held air at all anymore as the solid tires are just better overall without downside. Trailer Valet does not state how long the tires should last but we've also not had any issues and would not predict any either.

Was the ball starting to pivot in the coupler? Did you have the latch of the coupler completely latched down and then have the collar tightened totally to the bottom of the coupler? If you did this it SHOULD work fine and not tilt like you mentioned.…

If I had to guess the valve stem is bad and if you put pressure on it leaks. What you'd want to do is replace the inner tube with the part #TVIT.
