Yoder Smokers 8″ Flat-Free Tires — Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Yoder Smokers 8″ Flat-Free Tires?
These are replacement, maintenance-free wheels designed for Yoder Smokers pellet grills equipped with the competition cart. They are “flat-free,” meaning they don’t require air and won’t go flat, giving you durable and consistent mobility.
Which Yoder models are compatible with these 8″ tires?
They fit the **YS480**, **YS480S**, **YS640**, and **YS640S** pellet grills when those grills use a competition cart setup.
What comes in the tire set (how many wheels, types)?
The set includes **four** wheels: 2 fixed (non-swivel) wheels and 2 swivel wheels (casters). All wheels are black.
What are the advantages of using flat-free tires?
• No maintenance: you never have to inflate them.
• Durable construction suited for outdoor surfaces and heavy grills.
• Greater reliability over time, especially under load or in rough terrain.
• Cleaner look and consistent performance without concern for blowouts.
Are there any limitations or things to watch out for?
• They are limited to the competition cart configuration — they won’t fit non-cart or custom carts without matching hubs or frame geometry.
• Since diameter is fixed (8″), you won’t get the extra ground clearance that a larger tire would offer.
• Swivel casters may wear faster over rough surfaces depending on load and use.
• Ensure proper alignment and torque when installing to avoid binding or uneven wear.
