I am having trouble locating a set of replacement tires for Lil Foot, my Golf Cart Truck.
I found a flat tire this morning, and it turns out that tire has bad age cracking around the transition from tread to sidewall. One other shows evidence of some cracking, but it isn't leaking. (yet)
The tires were purchased in August of '03, (when I built it) so they are old, especially for out here. They are virtually like new in tread depth.
Anyway, I am having trouble finding a same size tire (width) to replace them.
They are size 25 x 13.50 x 10, Gates-McCreary Trailbreaker AT, 3 ply. mounted on 12" wide wheels.
Any help would be appreciated.

What about a 25x12.5-10? CLCIK HERE

I think we may have a winner!
That is the closest size to what I had, (1" narrower) and they are $81 each cheaper than the ones mikester posted above.
I like the tread pattern of the ones mikester posted, I think they would wear better on the street, 80% of the time.
But I like the size of the tires posted by wgator!

Both of these are free shipping, a big plus, and if I use either of these, I won't have to buy narrower wheels, another plus.

I got mine at royal distributing because they tend to be cheaper there and they are local to walk in/pick up. Doesn't look like they have the right sizes you want in stock.

Don't forget the exchange rate CDN$180 = USD$140

After much soul & tire searching, I settled on these: https://www.sunf.com/products/a021
in the 25 x 11 x 10 size.
As soon as I made the adjustment to not having tires as large as I had previously, and probably never doing any duning or serious offroading with Lil Foot again, they were the obvious choice- hard rubber compound, round profile, decent tread pattern. Much less contact area & rolling resistance, steers better.
They look pretty good also.

10" tires are hard to find in any heights and widths. With the trend of SxS's and ATV's going towards 14-15-16-18-20" rims, it's only going to get worse. I also do golf cars and the majority of those are now 12" wheels and the wide/low-pro's are 14". Getting hard to get anything in 8 and 10" and they cost the same as 12-14".

just for example I did a Ranger on 8" portals today....with a 2" bracket lift, and we put it on 45" tall tires, with 24" rims. And we sell the daylights out of them, but usually with 35"-38" tires on 20" rims.

Yup!
