Tote Gote 600

[Steamboat]

Rebuilt a Totoe Gote mod 700 and moving on to its smaller cousin mod 600.
Does anyone have any idea what size the rear tire is. The tire indicates 5x8 and that’s it. It’s more like a tractor tire than normal bike tire. Thanks for any help. Steve

That should be Tote Gote. Sorry

500 x 12.00 is the size on the back of my 750

The 600 rear wheel is smaller then the 750. The inner tube says 1812 5x8. I assume that’s 18 1/2 5x8. But that may not be the tire size. ????

Did a form search lots of good info on Gotes but no real size on the mod 600 rear tire size.

Today is your lucky day as its super cold outside and I have a 600 rear tire in my Basement.. its a 5.00 x 8

A 4.80 x 8.00 tiller tire works well.. as far as a tube i just purchase 4.80 or 5.00 x 8 tube from a trailer or power equipment store and you should be fine..

I know it’s not stock, but thinking about putting those aggressive tires on the front and back. It would give the old girl a different look. Think it would run real rough.

In my opinion, a lug tire on the front would make it hard to steer...

Ya think your right. Better stay with the norm

My front tire is still in good shape. But the back is rotted badly. Going to buy the heavy lugged tire you suggested. I like the different look with the rear tractor type tire.
