I am going to build a large 4'X6' lawn cart to haul goose decoys into farm fields in the fall but will also use it for mulch and other household chores in the spring and summer. Where can I get some floatation tires with a rim and bearing hub attached. I see them on ATV carts but I just need the tire and rim not the whole cart.

This is what I am looking for (just the wheels)

How much weight are you going to be carrying? Tractor Supply has this type that goes on a solid axle but they are low speed units. You can also get axles and bearing sets from a light boat trailer or skidoo trailer and use those. 4 bolt or 5bolt hubs are available and easy to find. They fit a standard trailer (light duty) rim and the 5 bolt also fits the older chevy/dodge rims as well as some ATV rims.

Northern tool has alot of tires/wheels that can be used, including some turf tires with low speed bearings in them, atv tires/wheels/hubs, and high speed trailer wheels and hubs. I was thinking of using their turf tires/wheels with bearings built in for a utility dump trailer for around the property. Approx. $50 each.

eBay might be a good pllace to try for cost savings.. I have purchased tires in the past from Kemplers too.

Walmart has tires for lawn tractors and ATV's. If you bring in the rim, they can get the tire for you, and probably cheaper then anybody else.

My finish mower has some small tires on it that had two flats when I bought it used about a month ago. My Dad is visiting and volunteered to take them to Walmart to get them fixed. The said one had some dirt in the rim that was causing the tire to not seal properly, and the other tire had a hole in it. He cleaned the rim and patched the hole for no charge. Said it was such an easy job that he'd catch him next time he needed something done.

Say what you want about Walmart, but they have lots of tires and it's very hard to beat there prices.
