That looks great. Are they the factory Deuce wheels or something different? Did you have to do anything special to put them tires on? Sorry for the newbie questions.

I had an old tire guy do it for me. We made a platform 21.5" in diameter out of plywood with 2X6's for legs. This made the tire colapse some under its own weight. Then he lubed the ring up good with tire lube, he said dish detergent works well also.

By the way how does it do in the snow with the new tires. Been thinking of doing the same thing?
I didn't get into much snow yet other than parking areas, however other than if you have to change one on the side of the road (hernia waiting to happen), I think these are better in everyway than the ndt tires. Oh yeah they look cool too.

We had put the wheels on a bucket to get it off the ground but no lube, so I will try that this week thanks for the input.
Also he walked it around, kicking with his right foot while standing on the finished section with his left foot. He was a small guy too, 5' maybe 125# and only used his weight and kicking to get it on.

I didn't realize how close Kublos was to me. I called Ken Jr today. We spoke for 15 minutes about his stock. What a NICE guy. He said not to make the trip just yet because the tires he had weren't the best and he had more coming soon. Thats definitely the kind of person you want to do business with. Honest upfront! I need to make a trip there soon and see what hes got in the lot.
