Clutch can be found a Dave's Discount Motors. If your Rims are 4" Diameter BRP will have tires for you. If you have the most common 3" Diameter rims, then BRP can't help you. I am looking for the same tires you are for 3" rims...... If you find some let me know. :D

To get the old tire off try soaking the tire and rim in paint thinner for a few hours. The foam will almost fall off of the rim. :o 8)

I have not done this with the chrome plated rims so I don’t know if it will cause the plating to release from the nylon rim.
