Those tires will look good on your cart.

YAY!! They arrived today, all FOUR of them! AHHHh the smell of new rubber!! I am very happy with the tread and quality look of the tire. They are called Turf Traxs. I plan on taking the old tires off the rims and sanding and repainting the rims before I get the new tires put on. As of right now, they are chrome (paint that is) and rust

. I am thinking of keeping it chrome, but black is in the back of my head.

No pics as of yet... soon though! Stay tuned!

Got a chance to take some pics tonight. Got one of the front tires to see if I could get it off the rim.

Old back compared to the new one!

Old front compared to the new one!

So my question, how do I get the old tires off the rims? I want to have just the rims so I can paint them easier. Ideas?

If you can get one area broken from the bead, just take a stiff screwdriver around the bead on each side. To break a spot loose, I took a rubber mallet and beat the crap out of it.

Oh, and deflate them ALL the way first.

OK just to finish off this thread, here are the finished pics of the new tires:

I am very pleased with them!

Revisiting this thread...

After a full summer of use and abuse, these tires have held up beautifully! I had all the grip I needed in the woods, on grass, on dirt, and of course, pavement. They sling mud everywhere and make a mess, but what is mudding without being covered?!

I would HIGHLY recommend these to anyone with a stock height cart looking for cheap, good quality traction tires. Not only do they enhance the look of your cart, they add to your off-road fun-ability! Great for tearing up that unwanted lawn as well...
