wheelbarrow tires

I have 5 wheelbarrows, and they each get a least 1 flat tire per year. I have tried the solid rubber tires, but me and my helpers all agree it is like pushing the wheelbarrow with a stone wheel.

I have tried putting tubes in, but can't get the tube and tire back onto the wheel. Any trick to this? After a half hour of struggling, and getting nowhere, I realize my time is worth more than the $25-$30 for a complete new wheel and tire assembly.

10 years ago, I never got flat tires. Now I get them all the time. Could it be because the Chinese-made tires are just junk? Does anyone have similar problems with wheelbarrow tires? Any good sources for quality tires?
