Mike KC, thanks for the suggestions. My problem is the size of the rim at 12 inches. I keep getting that they no longer make that size. I will try all the names you suggested and let you know how I made out. Thanks again.

Do you have any cart shops that in your area that may specialize in the special size?  
Otherwise take a quick look on Amazon.

Ok, a couple searches later and you are correct - it’s been a long time since I have looked for stock tires - 12" tires seem to be scarce right now.

You can also use 155/80 R12 tires. That’s what I ran on my '02, they are like 3/4" taller. They are easier to find and might cost less. Seems Wal-Mart has them in the low $50’s / tire range.
