wow. thanks for all the input guys. I bought my yak WITH the standard Hobie cart included, so I'd like to use it. Perhaps I will get the wheeleez separately.

Does anyone know if THESE wheels will work with my Hobie cart? the price is right for the pair.

I think any beach tire is going to be too wide for the standard Hobie cart, I used to have the Heavy Duty cart and I was looking to do the same thing.

Call wheelez give them the dimensions of your axle and they can match you with compatible wheel sets. That's what I did. Go with the polyurethane if possible

Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but I wanted to comment and let you all know that I just purchased the Hobie Trax 2-30 off of CL. WOW, what a difference in traversing over sand. I HIGHLY recommend these over the sand, what a breeze it was to use. They ARE big though. when inserted in the scuppers behind my outback seat, my shoulders almost rested on them, at the very least touched the gigantor wheeleez.

Thanks for all your input guys, I feel like this is money well spent.

Yeah, I just got mine a few weeks ago. The short stretch of soft sand entering/leaving La Jolla was just killing me. With the new wheels, zero problem at all! Love the new wheels!

I also put most of the weighty items in the rear of my yak when transporting. This balances out the load so when I lift from the front, I can focus more energy on motion than lifting.

you risk damaging the kayak if you put that much force on the scupper i wouldn't do it.
