Ohhhh I can see the blood pressure rising and the rage building getting ready to furiously teach me a lesson at the expense of your computer keyboards. Hear me out first. My father and I have been working on a horseless carriage project (old car replica) for a while now and have decided that we are probably going to use motorcycle wheels. We will actually be using 4 Honda spoked front wheels for the project. Until now we have been using utility cart wheels but they just will not hold up much longer, due to the use of a heavy hit and miss engine in the back. It uses a jack shaft running to two sprockets on the back wheels, in which case we will be mounting the sprockets to the front disc mounts. All that said, it will be a very low speed machine (max out at around 15 to 20 mph) and we are looking to not spend a fortune on tires, as we will probably never wear a set out. Does anyone have a source for very cheap mc tires that would be good enough for this application? I believe the size would be 90/90/19's (for the record I am probably going to run Avon Roadriders on my cb550... just to get that out of the way) =)
Here is a picture of the project (kinda older pictures and not very high quality sorry)
