I am building a grasshopper based 7 for my son, who is 3 now. Really looking forward to getting it to rolling chassis stage by the weekend but one of my tyres has exploded upon fitting it, the beads had rusted and when inflated they snapped. I know I can get new tyres but they are expensive and wondered if anyone had a pair or one lying around that they wanted to flog. In the true Locost price range.

I may have one. I'll have a looksy tomorrow.
I bought a complete wheel for my little trailer so I'm sure I have the old one.

Blimey they are cheap, but not locost enough. Let us know if you have one, cheers

I will built one for my children when i get some.

What parts are you using? I was thinking ATV parts.

I bought 8" tyre for my wheelbarrow with an inner tube for £10. Plenty strong enough to carry a kid with 4 if it will carry 2cwt of concrete with just one.

I don't have any tyres. They must have been knackered so they got binned. I found all the rims though!

All right for wheels. Thanks for looking, watching a couple on the bay, fingers crossed.

hi m8 would love to know how you getting on with the grasshopper and where you found the plans as I really want to do one for my son and can only find the 45 quid plans from bwe sportscars!
thanks m8
