Are there any tires for civilian applications that will fit the Gama Goat?

The Goat Whisperer! My gosh, we are going to need more pics of your goat!
I think I heard Jack Tomlin sold goat tires on the rim. A friend bought a container full a few years back.

Do you want modern civilian tires, or correct Goat tires?

Hi Mike,
I don´t know how, but the goat works fine...
After fixing the brake system (replacing all the brake hoses) I took the first ride on a highway...
And the Goat runs like an antelope 
Up to now there is no need to readjust the governor, thanks God! 
I´ve no idea what kind of problems the prior owner had.
Everything seems to be fine, nearly 60 mph 
But now I´m searching for a really bad crack on the right front side of the Goat when I start to roll. U-joints are ok, seems to be inside the differenzial / balancing gear  (I´ve no idea what it´s called in englisch)
It only happens somtimes... but than the hole Goat shakes! Something stuck and suddenly dissolves!?
But I´ll find it... eventually...

Ulf,
The center Diff. has pivot joints on it's front and rear. It pivots with the tractor rear suspension. If they haven't been greased they stick and make a terrible crack when trying to move. There is a shim on the rear pivot joint that was left out on many vehicles. Check this, if it's not there let me know and I'll help you further. Get on Gamagoat.com and you'll see pictures of mine and the installation.
Best way to check is jack the rear tractor wheels off the ground, together, and try to lift the wheel on one side. This should pivot the entire rear suspension about 6 or so degrees.
This is one of the fun parts of rebuilding the Goat.
Take care Ulf!
