fish-n-mates new surf cart tires
They now have a thick wall gray tire that is 9x17 compared to the 7x15 orange one and the hub has a sealed ball bearing. I comes in the senior size or wheel kit only.

How much are they John? Will they fit the same axle as the orange ones?

I just looked them up and the price is $279.95 for the kit, since the tires are wider the axle is longer also. Just my luck as this month I put a kit of orange sand tires on mine. I also was tired of sand getting into the wheels and axles and eating them up so I now have a fix (SO FAR) of using car battery post fiber washers and Blaster dry lube with Teflon on the wheel insides-axles-washers use 91% rubbing alcohol to clean first except washers which are soaked with Blaster and left to dry. Did have to squeeze hard to get 2 washers per tire to get ring into axle hole.

Thanks for the info John!
Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
