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.

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.
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.
