Vaderstad Rapid Tyres

[Gruffalo]

Our 2008 4m Rapid has a few punctures, mainly in the rear row of following tyres. They are the cleated type, seem to be all tubed. Any recommendations for improving them and less punctures ? Would they run tubeless ?
If so fill them with Oko ?
Could foam fill but does that add much more weight and is it expensive ?
Thanks

We have a few problems with ours too. The only thing I can say is that once I discovered I could buy the inner tubes for 8 euros a piece we stopped fixing them and put a new tube in every time. I think it helps a bit but we probably still get a puncture every couple of days? They don't take long to change at all once you get the knack.

Its actually better than most of the drills we have owned. Our land is hard on tyres with glacial granite rocks that seem to be just the right shape to wedge into awkward spaces.

Had some solid rubber filled ones. Too heavy wouldn’t recommend.

If you can go tubeless. The new drills are, sealant is not cheap. The aramid tyres are good but again not cheap. I have flints so have had a lot of punctures over the years. My current vaddy came tubeless,
