Hi there.

Looking for a good replacement set of tires that you can buy new that would be a good suitable replacement for the original and very dry rotted Carlisle 4.00-6 block tread tires that came new on my 1971 MTD trailflite mini bike.

If I'm correct, a new modern 4.00-6 tire is not the same actual overall size as the original 4.00-6 tire would be.

These minis already look somewhat odd and if the wrong aspect ratio tire is used, it just adds to the odd look lol!

A 13x5.00-6 seems to small (not enough sidewall) and I'm wondering if anyone has fit a 15x6.00-6 tire to one of these odd looking mini bikes?
