The plastic wheels on a new lawn dethatcher are unlikely to hold up to wear and tear, and the user needs a replacement or protection solution.

No purpose-built, durable replacement wheels or tire covers are offered by the manufacturer, and DIY modifications (stretching a tire over them) may not fit or work well.
