I am trying to find out if anyone still makes those one-piece hub and tires for ATV's. I have an old Attex which I only use around my yard and it originally had those tires. I just replaced them with newer atv tires and rims but hate the ride and how it destroys my lawn. If anyone knows where the old style tires can be found it would be appreciated. The ones I had were carlisle and very old, they just dry rotted out after more than 20 years. Never wore out and make turns very easy. Any help is appreciated.

hey roger, the best / closest you are gonna find to the one piecers' is the goodyear runamuck mounted on 7" wide rims. it has a amazing flexability with 1.5 to 2 psi. i have some carlise's on 8 inch rims and they are alot stiffer. the 'years have a chevron / paddled type tread and when you think about it there are repairable, tubes can be installed and they weigh only 1.5 lbs more. i think it is really the best way to go.

just look for one of those old 3 wheelers like a 1970 honda 90 or 110cc they have ballon tires on them maybe they'll fit or ask a junk yard you might be able to get them for cheap
