Can anybody suggest a simple tyre change on my stock J3 wheels that would give a (slightly) larger diameter and footprint? I know my Cub's only a little 'un, but could I point out in my defence at asking such a question on this forum that (a) I don't know the best polish to use and (b) she's extremely muddy.

Take a look at the new smooth tyres from dresser tire and rubber company, little taller and a little wider. pricey @ 225 ea. Look good and seem to be a good product. Also look at grove for the new disc brake mod to keep the 4" wheels. this is what I am going to add to my j-5.

Thanks Tim, I knew about the new smooth tyres, but as you say a tad pricey!

Hi Nonradio. (best kind). Keep an eye out for 25/11/4. A set went on e-bay a couple of weeks ago for $540. Including wheels. Barnstormers is another good watch. They work fine on a -3. Jerry.
