I found cat tires on amazon for $30. I have been looking for years and the cheapest I could find before was $50.

Looks like they were originally 47.51, so that's a good deal at 30 bucks

when you ordered that tire, did it come with the wheel hub?



not 100% certain, but looks like walmart has it now:

They do not come with the rims or valve stems for that price.

They will also need to be mounted (my Walmart said they couldn't mount them so I went to a GoodYear store for this).

The complete tire & rim assembly from Florida Starcraft is $169 each.

I bought a used Florida Starcraft cat trax in great shape (except the dead tires) last year for $50 and for another $130 got 2 new tires (including mounting, etc.).

Now, if I could only find a set of hull cradles (for a H16) at a good price.

I've replaced the tires on my 30 year old cat trax with these:

They were out of stock on Amazon when I needed them. There are also tubes for them that I recommend using.

They aren't That hard to get on the wheels without having to take them to a tire place. There are plenty of junked ATV's sitting around if you need wheels.

I agree that mounting the tires on the rims is a lot easier if you use inner tubes.

I didn't, but will in the future if they won't stay inflated.
