Bigfoot wheels wanted
Hello everybody!!
I'm looking for some new Bigfoot light wheels.
Please could you let me know who sell them?
First, I'm interested on sellers that would ship international since I live in Argentina and the Bigfoots are very difficult to find here. If not
possible, I'd ship to a friend in the US who later will send them overseas.
Thanks in advance and regards
Ramiro

I use the nanco n800's and they are fine. They have a slightly larger footprint than the PL tires. I have mine mounted on 4" wide rims. When I bought
mine I paid $33 a tire then the price shot up. Don't know what they go for now...
Here is what they look like mounted.

Mark,
Yes, I know Guillermo (He is a friend of mine) but He doesn't have any left.
cheezycheese,
What rims did you use to mount the tires? Do you have a link?
Jeff,
Yes. One of the main issues here is the shipping cost. :sniff: :sniff: My other alternative is to ask a friend to bring them when traveling, but
tires are big and heavy, so it is very different than bringing a kite.
Regards
Ramiro

If you buy the tires and ship them only you can get them to lay rather flat. a box with 3 tires can be as small as 24x24x8. add the wheels and that
box will be about 10x9x9.

I went ahead and called these guys and ordered a set of three big foot tires, total price delivered $143.42. They told me 5-6 days to ship to my
house. I ordered them on Friday they where here on Tuesday afternoon.
Man is Cameron gonna be happy on Christmas morning!! Thanks Goofball for the web contact.
BTW the website would not except my email so I called the number and a guy named Paul was very professional and helped me order the tires.

Mine are mounted tubeless. They are fine unless they sit for months then they need a top off. But no bead issues. My only complaint is that due to way
they flatten the tire for shipping they have ripples in the sidewall. Nothing major though. If you look at the pic in the link Goof posted you can see
it.

Brian he hardly ever comes on here. He is to busy doing all the work around the house I can't do any more. And I think he has a notion that he may be
getting them since he found them in he breezeway when the UPS lady left them.  not
good!! Also today they dropped off his new back axle I got from Crash then swim. He is gonna be a happy camper I hope!!

on my buggy:frog:
