TIRES
« on: December 14, 2007, 07:37:12 pm »
I,m looking for some tires for a narrow  gauge I noticed the that the rear tires are 5.00 16t and are mortorcycle tires and the rest are 4.50 16t plain tread two of the tires say goodyear(canada)and are new the other 4 are all original and everywhere I call says that they have no listing for such a tire. Is it alright to run  different size tires on the rear than the rest ???

Jason, I just got sprockets from Dan Shaver, he has plenty of tires. If you want to try someone close try  Al at The Marina, Lake Of the Woods.  Did you get a machine?  I'm at Marvs all weekend stop and ask for Bob

Anyone know when putting on new tires do they need to be stretched so they go on easier?

We have put tubes in ourselves with old tires, I've never heard of streching them.  Who did you get tires from? How much?  We need a couple for our B-12. We are heading to the lake on Thursday, maybe see you.
Thanks Jason

i just checked about tires down here. 4.50 16t. goodyears. he told me it's a smooth thread. is that what they use? they told me they do stock them. price was $146. do that sound like a fair deal?
