Chita, I don't know about separate pairs of tires, per sey, but I have
2 wheelchairs (1 powered and 1 manual).  The tires on the power-chair
are pneumatic (air-filled) and yes, I've had flats.  It's for this
reason (as well as others) that I have the manual chair.  If I get a
flat or something else goes wrong with the power-chair I can use the
manual chair.  I hate being stuck in one place and if I have a flat I
don't want to ruin the tire(s) by running on them.
