I got tires from www.tires-easy.com. In 15x6.00x6 they have 16 choices.

Thanks Six and Mikey.

Very happy with the recommendation.

I'm more than happy to explain it to you. I'll even draw you a picture! But I can't understand it for you.

Those look to be exactly what I buy.
The performance will be awesome now, but will fade pretty quickly.
The compound is pretty soft and wears fast.
You may see better value price/mile with the turf tires.
You def. got a good price on them... :urban:

Hi Mike... Still around. I run hot and cold with hobbies. The gyro is just ridden at this point. Not much changed - just my $100 gyro.

Good to hear from you again.
I am glad you caught this post so quickly.
bradthree has spent considerable time here, and his request to see a final set of pix is valid.
Whatcha got ?

Very cool, would love to see PICS!

There used to be a guy at the local flea market who used a Gyro to get around. Only one I ever saw in the flesh. It was well used.
