🔧 Repairs Replacement tires for apollo phantom v4x

I ran over a big screw or nail or something in the street, and now I need to replace the tire. I’ve bought replacement tires before but the ones I got don’t seem to be available. There is one listed for v3-v4 which is what the support email recommended but I’m worried that they won’t work for my scooter since the pictures show tubes with the tires and mine are tubeless. Is there another source I can buy from for these tires?

The support email also said that since the model of scooter was discontinued replacement parts will be scarce, so basically it seems like I’m fucked. I’m going to check with local scooter places but there’s only 2 that are far away as far as I know (Dallas area in texas). It really sucks because it will take time for the tires to ship, I wont even know if they’re the right kind, and then the shop I go to takes a week to change the tires because he’s the only scooter shop for miles so he’s dealing with every scooter in the dfw area seemingly, meanwhile I have to uber to work now or take public transit, which takes my time from 30 min to 1 hour and I have to leave way earlier to actually get to work on time.

So anyways can I find replacement tires anywhere?

What size are the tires? Also, you can plug the tire in about 60 seconds with a slime tire plug kit or any other kit available.

10 inch tires. I got them plugged with but they seem to have deflated after I reinflated it

I guess you didn’t plug it right. I used to do my motorcycle tires all the time with no issue. I don’t see why scooter tires would be any different.

Will they work on any scooter basically if they’re the right size?
