I have the classic Florida Sailcraft beach wheels, they are great. I have been keeping them going for many years, with routine checks, maintenance, and then inner tubes when they cannot hold air.
HOWEVER, sometimes the tire body itself is no good, and in the past I purchased "Nanco N800 Slick" from Walmart. However, Walmart is out of stock
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nanco-N800-Slick-21X12-00-8-A-2PR-Tire/55346860?classType=REGULAR&from=/search
does anybody know where these tires can be purchased? Florida Sailcraft only sells Wheel+tire assemblies. which are >my allowance.
the closest I have found is this :
https://autoplicity.com/13611228-nanco-27245001
but I think it is actually 18x8.5x8
every other search result for 21x12-8 comes back as out of stock.
HELP

Two summers ago I purchased two sets of those tires from a seller on ebay. I used bar clamps to break the seal on the rims. Cleaned of the rims. Put in new stems for a few dollars on two sets of cat trax. Put on the new tires and used starter fluid to get the tires to attach to the rims then hit them with air from a compressor to get them to inflate the rest of the way before the air cooled and the tire deflated.
The other boat owner and I have been very satisfied.
The tires were delivered tied together and not in a box.
All total I think I spent about $150 per set of cat trax.

I bought the Nanco N800 from TireEasy but its been a while and dont see them listed now. They have always been kind of hard to find.
Don't see any current listings on eBay but if you search the sold listings for Naco N800 they have been sold even this month by some tire dealers.
I see a listing on Amazon, but I wouldn't order without contacting the seller first and getting confirmation they have them in stock and are the correct tire since the picture isn't right and the listing doesn't give good details
