WCP Tire and Tube

Does anybody know of a retailer that sells replacement tires for the WCP Products 6 inch pneumatic wheels? We have already been to one district event, and our wheels have lost a lot of their grip. Currently, WCP is on backorder for these replacement tires, so it would be great if we could order compatible tire replacements from somewhere else.

Thanks!

a quick search of e-bay will turn up many options. Northern Tool also sells them. We bought ours from Cass Hudson which we found via e-bay. There are many suppliers out there.

Re: WCP Tire and Tube

Is there a supplier that sells just the tire and tube replacement without the hub? I saw the northern tool one, but it comes with a hub that we wouldn't need.

Re: WCP Tire and Tube

Grainger and McMaster also sell 6x2 pneumatic wheels, with a virtually identical tire. I think Grainger is cheaper, but they come as part of a whole caster assembly.

Re: WCP Tire and Tube

What conditions ate you putting pneumatic tires through that causing them to lose grip? Are you driving them on concrete for an hour? I can't see how playing on this year's field can destroy pneumatic tired of any kind, granted I've only seen this game being played and haven't played it myself yet.
