My Cat Trax tires are 25 years old and still look nearly new...
so maybe those $260 tires are worth it?

Does anyone know of an affordable wheel replacement for my Cat Trax...? I have the old vulcanized rubber tires and do not want to shell out $260+ for a new pair. Thanks |

You may want to consider ordering replacement tubes through Cat Sailor. Check this out: http://www.onlinemarinestore.com/store/ ... category=0. I ordered some a couple of years ago and they're working great. |

MVD, he won't be able to use the tubes if he has the old vulcanized rims. The tubes only work on the newer style rims I think. |

bought my rubber tire cat trax in 1988 still working well but tires showing some dry rot, I fear that they will fail at the annual Edisto Beach SC trip this summer. A Hobie 21SE is a load of 600 lbs or so and is a impossible load on soft sand, Discount Tire said they will order some tires and tubes and install. No worries for another 25 years. Saw a product on tv made by Miricle Wipe for use on tires which is supposed to protect from UV and dry rot plus it makes the tire shine. Might give it a try Former Hobie Admiral Gary |

You are looking for a 21-12.00-8 for standard size beach wheels. NANCO or NANKUNG Tires is the only remaining maker. I got my first replacement tire for about $45.a few years ago. More recently I paid a bit over $50. Tires Unlimited has them for $68 each and Cedar Rapids Tire has them for $57 ea. Its the N800 Slick. Lots of fun getting them to inflate on the rim. I used a ratchet strap and an extra set of hands. Steve H17 |

Looks like they may not sell only the rims http://www.floridasailcraft.com/CatAccesories.htm |

The rims are standard ATV rims and the hole in the rim should match the size bar/tube. They use large aluminum and plastic washers and cotter pins to hold the rims in the right locations. |
