My Troybilt bar tires are cracked from the sun and flat. Has anyone
been able
to put new tires on the heavy gauge metal(one piece) rims? Troybilt
says it
can't be done and I need to buy tires on rims.

Not sure what you mean by "bar" tires. Did you mean "bare". I put inner
tubes in my 8HP Troybilt tubeless tires. Used 8" tubes bought a a
Goodyear tire store. It's a bit tough to get the bead over the rim but
not impossible. -Olin



I replaced mine also not long ago. They are nothing more than
4.80 X 8 bar tread tires that can be had from some lawn equipment
retailers. They may have to order them in but they are available. It
wasn't that hard to do. I also installed tubes in mine at the same
time.
