African Box Thorn

• Price: Price on application

No, we are not about to sell you an African Box Thorn, but its affect on Balloon wheels is of such consequence that we give it a category here just to tell you about it. It will puncture a 4WD tyre and across many dryland farms it will be encountered. It can puncture Wallaroo Balloon Wheels making them a poor choice in some circumstances. Punctures are repaired by plastic welding with a soldering iron as the wheels are thermoplastic urethane. Other types of thorns typically called Cat Heads can be prolific and put thousands of punctures in tyres that seal with tyre goo but never completely. Wallaroo solid tyres are available but not preferred in most circumstances.
