    The only 10 inch rim I have been able to find is custom order. I posted information about that about a week ago. http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/s...ad.php?t=63214 $104 and 4-12 weeks lead time. They can be found though as another board member acquired one as I was ordering one.

    4cylinders,

    Is the 12" on a Tri-Z by chance?

    If so, the stock Dunlop front tire was still available a few years ago. I believe the original '86 Z tire is also the OEM front tire on another Yamaha 4 wheeler.....but of course not DOT legal.

    hey, street legal means DOT tires, for hi-speed. over 65mph, for long distances, on highways/ pavement. sorry, not trying to hijack the thread, just get some info for 12'' wheels.

    Kenda Front Max on the Tecate

    I dont know if you have seen the Kenda front max up close but they are sick. Deep lugs great handling and strong. If you want a cool looking tire good luck. If you want a great tire that will handle great and keep you safe check out the Kenda front max. The Tires on the rear of my Tecate Kick ass I love them. Great for all situations and strong.

    I use dunlap tires that are identical the stock thread. The Front max is great for trails and sand. I don't like how they handle for mx, they grab too much and fight counter-steeting alot.
