A quick search on the net turns up those tyres cheaper from a tyre dealer.

Yes, I am sure that size can be sourced from a variety of dealers. But the seller is to be commended for finding a tyre which does not look half bad, eh?

I did buy these tyres and am reasonably happy with them. They are a bit smaller though. According to the add only 3/4" but the seller thought this meant diameter instead of width. They actually are 4" smaller in diameter.
Still, they look ok and give a good ride on the gun. The original 8.25x10 Firestones made the gun jump all over the road.

I measured the original tires and they seem to be around the 27" mark. A few of the forklift tires in the 7.50 size, along with the mule tires, measure up around 25" diameter, so a difference of 2 inches, or 1" in ride height. Winter is almost here so the tires will likely wait until spring at the very least.
