Alternative tires for Adair tracks

[AJB]

Hi, I have an Argo Bigfoot, and trying to find a cheaper alternative to buying 22/10/8 runamucks, can run a different style tire with Adair tracks?

If you plan on only running tracks any tire that size should be ok, once the tracks are off it would be a different story.

Thanks argojim, that would cut costs of the tire/rim changeover. This machine will always have tracks on.

I know on the Escargo website they say any tire will work, and show some odd ball cheap dirt tires being used.
https://www.ebay.com/p/1111833088 or the 21x7-10 knobbies found on the back of Dingo Go karts would be the cheapest route under $40 a tire either way

You’ll likely have to adjust an existing track, or have a custom length made- if you want ideal track length, when compared to a more commonly used tire. Just be aware some tires that say 10” wide on the sidewall can be skinnier or wider than a different model tire that has a x10 designation on the sidewall. But more importantly, different model tires (even if they’re identical in designated tire size) can vary in circumference quite a bit. Additionally, different style treads in comparable sizes will usually fit the track differently. I have never been able to switch tire models (even though the displayed sizes are the same) without adjusting track length if I wanted to keep using the same track. Might get lucky though.

21x7x10 would be no good, too thin and throw tracks. stay with tire for the track. Adairs can come for 10 or 12 inch wide tires, know what you have.

10-4, thanks guys, I’ll have to do some figuring, but really it’s hard to get the tires actual size without mounting them on a rim. I’ll proba have to modify the track
