I used to run those "back in the day" (late 80's) on my 200X. They were 16x7.5 for an 8-inch wheel, I think. I saw one at a local ATV shop not too long ago. Can't remember the brand, I want to say its a Turf Saver or something like that. I'll look next time I'm in there if they still have it. They were probably golf cart tires....

Yup, Turf Savers! Those are cheap. They seemed to work pretty good back then...
