Tires for the CT1 was created by pabdt

Looking for 3.50x18 and 3.25x18 tires.  But, not so easy to find the 3.25.  Thinking about putting a 4.00 and 3.50 on.  Anybody have a recommended place to get these?  Looking for the SR241 Shinko's. 

ANy pics out there of a 4.0 and 3.5 combo on a CT1?  I need a st tire.  GOing to bring this to CHP for st cert.

Tyres seem to be the one thing that's tricky for you guys in the US to get hold of compared to the UK.
I know Yambits will ship to US but they are out of stock at the moment.
I have 4.00 18 rear and 3.50 18 front on two of my CT1s and stock on the other two.
Few examples here, hope you find some.

Thanks for the links. I ended up using Shinko's dealer locator. rockymountainatv for the win.

Ordered up a 4.0 3.5 combo for front/back.
