    Yamaha tri Zinger (4zinger) tires

    I am sure this must have been asked before, but does anyone have any suggestions for replacement tires for the Yamaha tri zinger or 4 zinger? OEM size was a 15x7.00-6. Only size on the market is a 145/70-6 which is about an inch shorter and really too narrow for a 6" wide rim. Is there anything out there closer to the 15" diameter? I believe the last one made was a Dunlop KT465. I would even be interested in some used ones if they still had decent tread. I would need 4 as I have a 4 zinger. Thanks for the help.

    i'm keeping an eye out as well for my YT60. i'm just running the 145/70x6 Kenda Scorpions that came on it when i bought it. not bad, but the lip of the rim does show. i've been trying a bunch of differant sites for lawn mower tires and go kart/minibike tires, haven't found the right size yet myself. found plenty in the 15x6x6's though.
    although for my rears i've been thinking about getting Carlisle 13x6.50x6 for a flat tracker look. can get that size in Smooth (slick), Turf Master or Turf Saver. they've got the same tires in a 15x6x6. heck there's even a 14x4.50x6 Super Lug, basicly a Chevron pattern (tractor style tread), but no 7in wide found yet other than the Dunlops.

    edit: bikebandit or rockymountain does have the Dunlop's

    I'm pretty sure I tried to order one of the Dunlops from Bike Bandit and was told they were discontinued. Found one for sale on Ebay, did the Buy it now and the ebay seller had to refund my money as he didn't have any either (discontinued). I looked everywhere for the Dunlops for months. Finally bought 3 Kenda Scorpions.

    Thanks to all for your advise. I guess I will keep watching ebay. Maybe something will turn up. Also I think I can run a 7" dia x 6" wide wheel from an early moto 4 80 with the 3/70mm bolt circle and run a 16x8-7 tire. Now if I could just find 4 of those in good shape.
