The structure, width, and material of wheelchair tires significantly affect:
Traction and grip on loose surfaces
Shock absorption over uneven terrain
Effort required for propulsion
Comfort during long outdoor rides
Rear Wheel Size: 24" × 1.75"
Best For: Mixed urban and light outdoor terrain
Highlights: Balanced maneuverability and efficiency
Rear Wheel Options: 24" × 1.95", 2.15", or 2.35"
Best For: Grass, sand, gravel, and soft ground
Highlights: Increased ground contact area for improved traction and stability
| Wheel Width | Advantages | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|
| 1.75" | Low rolling resistance, easy propulsion | Urban & mixed indoor–outdoor environments |
| 1.95"–2.35" | Better grip, reduced sinking, improved stability | Beaches, trails, uneven or soft surfaces |
One of the most important decisions when selecting an off-road wheelchair is choosing between solid tires and pneumatic (air-filled) tires.
| Feature | Solid Tire | Pneumatic Tire |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ✔ Lower | ✘ Higher |
| Ride Comfort | ✘ Basic | ✔ Superior |
| Shock Absorption | ✘ Minimal | ✔ Excellent |
| Maintenance | ✔ Low | ✘ Requires air checks |
| Outdoor Performance | Moderate | ✔ High |
Pneumatic tires are ideal for users seeking maximum comfort and shock absorption across rugged terrain. Solid tires may be suitable for low-maintenance or budget-sensitive applications.
Both models are designed for outdoor wheelchair mobility, with different strengths:
Choose 4617TT if you need a lightweight, efficient setup for paved or mixed-use areas.
Choose 4618TT if your terrain includes sand, grass, or trails and you prioritize traction and comfort.
Both models support solid and pneumatic tire options, depending on user needs and budget.

The Todo Terreno 4617TT and 4618TT are designed for performance and comfort across diverse terrains. Whether you're targeting the North American outdoor mobility market, the South American accessibility sector, or rehabilitation centers in rural regions, these models offer flexibility and durability.
With options for multiple wheel widths, folding designs, and off-road traction, they're ideal for personal use, rentals, or institutional procurement.
Yes. Both the 4617TT and 4618TT support interchangeable tire types, depending on your outdoor needs and comfort preferences.
Wider tires add resistance on smooth surfaces but greatly improve traction and comfort on soft or uneven ground. It's a trade-off based on terrain.
Absolutely. Their modular design and folding frames make them ideal for travel, rental, and tourism industries.
Suspension enhances ride quality even further. Pneumatic tires absorb vibrations, but suspension systems protect the frame and reduce user fatigue.
The 4618TT with 2.15" or 2.35" wide pneumatic tires provides better flotation and grip, making it the preferred model for sandy terrain.
