I'm wanting a cheap pair of flat track tires for my atc. Prefer for 8" rims.

Lawn mower tires work the best, the thin 2 ply type.

Most TT guys are running 10's so used 8's might be hard to find, but there should be plenty of 10's mounted on wheels.

I will probably go with lawn mower tires. There are only about 3 races for 3 wheelers around here and they are circle tracks, so I just want something cheap. Its more about fun for me.
There is a TT track in Arkansas that has a 3 wheeler class if there is enough.

When you go to get the mower tires, look at several before you buy, because you want a pair that has the rounded edge on the sidewall. Any type with a straight sharp edge will hook up to much.
If the straight edge is all you can find, you'll need to do something about rounding off the sharp edge to keep that corner from biting so hard.

Check on e bay & you can get some idea of the tires out there.
