    Fishing cart axle lubrication

    I wonder what is the best lubrication is for pier/surf cart tires and axles as when I used the hard rubber tires the plastic was wearing out from the metal axles and when I switched to an orange balloon tire kit the same happened, I did follow the listed lube recommended but the noise and wear continues so I switched to "Blaster dry lube" from an auto parts store and that works but needs reapplying from time to time.

    The instructions with mine said silicone spray ONLY, but I have balloon tires.
    People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.

    If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

    With metal to plastic contact the softer will wear , the plastic . I have both types of wheels and I know that at some point I'll have to replace the wheels or come up with a bushing / bearing setup , As for now I spray them with silicon spray after I hose them off, do the
    rods and reels at the same time .
