Actually, not excatly the "custom grooved" Rocky Mountain sells for 75$ each (seems a robbery to me...and I'm sick of buying stuff not worth their price).
I can have a grooving machine...and no one seems to ba able to locate standard 10" tires. What's that deal? I have read that they were mounted on small import cars, but even the Firefly has 12" rims. To my knwoledge, only the Austin Mini had 10" wheels.
I don't really care if those tires are new or used...I just want 10" tires (does any tire manufacturer make them...etc).
An Austin Mini owner forum could do the job also (they should be able to tell where they get their tires).
All this is said assuming that 10" tires don't cost 50$ each. If they do then I'll get them from Rocky Mountain.

Thanks for any input.

i dont know where you would find very many car tires for less than $50 each. if you were to buy them then you probably would have to special order them from overseas, which would cost more to ship. I know that James lucky sells ungrooved tires for $51 each and grooved for $76 each. that would be your best bet. http://www.jlatvproducts.com/

They're not there (have looked also).
Some Golf cart tires are 10", but 205 width. 110$ for 4 of em.
