4.00-6 Knobby tire needed

[45t]

Looking for a 4.00-6 knobby tire that came on the rear of some of the Cat bikes (400EL, 400TS, Duster & Slingshot to name a few). I need it for my 400EL. I wanted to check with the OldMiniBikes guys & gals first before I buy a 5.30x4.50x6 to use instead.

Here are a few reference pics of the style of rear tire I'm looking for.

It would have fit in that big a#% box...
I forgot I had it.

Cool. Did it mount correctly with the spacing in all? You'll have to post a pic.

It mounted, but not all the holes lined up correctly. It wasn't til I had it mounted that I measurd the seat rails and found out that they are 3/4" shorter than the rails on the 400X. :shrug: Possibly the rails were changed out to shorter ones at one time? I think it looks good with the right seat.

Here is a pic.

Yeah, that looks awesome. I do think they are at least as long as the 400X.
Cool deal.
