coyote spare tire?

Hi, I'm new to the forum.

I love the look of those doomwheels...

I have been kiteskating in various forms for 10 years and bought some coyotes when they first came out. I've had my first blow-out and am not sure where to find a replacement tire - anyone have ideas or success in this?

I'm intrigued also to hear how somehting like a doomwheel would compare to the coyote. I love the fact that the coyotes are so light compared to my mountainboard - great for jumps. I also love powered-up jibes with the coyotes, being able to swoop around down-wind without losing speed, unlike the standard turn on the mountainboard.

Do the doomwheels still have a sginificant weight advantage over a board? does the longer wheel base compared to a coyote still allow a nice, powered-up jibe?

Thanks for any insites!
