Can anyone recommend a good online tire/wheel dealer? We've almost rubbed the nubs off our OEM tires, so I want to start looking around.

Because we tend to ride on concrete, and rough pavement, as much or more than on dirt, we have prematurely eroded the soft knobby tires that came on the buggy. I was looking specifically at the ITP all-trail tires, to give us a little longer lifespan.

I had one guy by some turf tamers. They are a glorifed golf cart tire but he seemed to like them.

Oh wait....I just looked them up. They were Carlisle All Trail.

The turf tamers I can get in 10 in but the All Trails are 12.

I don't know why I didn't think that you guys would be able to do tires as well... Embarassed

Eric, when I copy the link you provided, it gives me a blank page. If you give me the reference info, I'll look into it. Are the street tires extra cost because of DOT approval? I know it sounds weird, but we really don't drive on the highway, just up and down our neighborhood street, so DOT isn't a big deal for us, I'd just like to have better wear on hard surfaces.

Glade, I'll check out the turf tamers. If they are long-lasting on pavement like the ITP all-turf, that would work.

I have seen the ITP/Carlisle all-turfs advertised in a 22x11x10, but so far haven't found the 22x7x10 or 21x7x10 for the front.

I might also get the harder tires on a new set of inexpensive wheels, so I can put knobby tires back on when I want to, but if it adds a lot of expense, I'll need to put it off for awhile. I've spent a bundle on the buggy lately, and need to cool off for a while, lol Cool

My rear wheels are 10x8 5+3 4/137 and the front 10x5 4/110

Eric,

Sorry, but when I cut and paste that URL, all I get is a blank screen. You must have a cookie or something that I don't have. I have attached a screen capture of what I get from that URL below.

Do the street tires have treads similar to the all-turf? The all turf claim to have good durability on hard pavement, but also will work for off-road to a limited extent.

You may need to give me a search term, or a page number to see what you are referring to on the Tucker Rocky website.
