<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> I mentioned some time back that I had found a source for new new tundra tires for the Kitfox. What I did was go to the local tire store and order the proper size of ATV tires. Have the tire store send them to the retread shop and have them shaved. Don't tell them they will be used on an aircraft or your SOL. I received a new set this week and the tires seem to be made much better than those that came stock in my model II. Anyway this worked for me and it may for you too. Cost wasn't that bad either, about $80.00.

Hi Dee, what did they charge you to shave the tires? I just installed the King Fox tires and personally I'd prefer to have the original ATV tires I have thought about going back to my original tires but they are so old and getting weather checked, that I 'm probably better off to stick with the new tires.
Just maybe I 'll check into doing what you did.

through all the trouble ..of getting them shaved etc.They have then in
stock,and if they do not,they will get them for you there..they have
tubes all so..they will ship then right to your home..I have bought a
pair from them..and they are all ready smooth.no tread..and the cost is
right..and they are cheaper too than the cost that you gave..the tires
are called NANCO TIRES. they are the same as the KING FOX Tunda Tires.
But hey dont trust me..go to there web site.or call them..and then tell
me I told you so...Steve Shinabery N554KF KF2 Home to the Great Lakes

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> It cost me $80.00 for the tires ready to mount but my son manages a store so he helped me out on the price. I got the 20X7X8 which is the original size as I recall. I looked at the King Fox tires but didn't care for the larger size tires.
