for pave runway.... i keep my 8 inch rhim with matco brake

If you want smoothies 21 x 12 x 8 work well with 2 ply

If you want a smaller tire - golf cart tires

hi Dave

the golf cart tire fit on the 8" rhim???

David

[Dave F]

yes - check sizes and look at a few golf carts to confrim

[Av8r3400]

Golf carts "usually" use 18x8x8 or similar size. These will work.

They have a light tread to them rather than smooth and are 4-ply.

Snowmobile/boat trailer tires are also available in a 8" rim size too.

I've been pretty pleased with the Goodyear Terra-Tire on my KFIII. size 18x9.5x8 about 50/50 grass and pavement

I found this is very cheap...do you trust this tire for 30$

nothing wrong with a 30$ tire 18.5 x 8.00 x 8" and 16.5" x 8.0 x 8"

The King fox tires started at ?? $20 or so I think

then the 12"x 21"x 8" were about $30 too but now $50 to 70$

I have used all the above tires sizes and all work well.
The later two will give you the ultimate in flotation for soft ground- mud,sand ,water and snow.

I have never hear of one failing being a 2 ply versus a 4 ply.

Just a thought, check with your local tire supplyer, they can get any tire you can and if it comes from one of their normal suppliers and they just include it in another order, you can dodge the shipping charges. Might end up cheaper for you. I've done that myself. Take care, Jim Chuk
