New tires all around? Attex 500 SuperChief

[NIGHTOW1]

I just picked up my first 6x6 Attex 500 Super Chief. Love it wanted one since I was a kid. Engine and trans are good body is good just ugly lol, needs some work but nothing major. However I have 3 tires that will hold air and 3 that are SHOT.
What is my best option, I don't want to spend a ton of money right now, I just want to use her. Any suggestions on where to get 6 new or used tires, rims, plates? And what is a fair asking price for my 3 usable tires?
Thanks in advance....20170902_195502.jpg

The old school rimless are pretty cool tires, but if you need to replace more than 1, I wouldn’t bother as they fetch a pretty high price due to their rareness and high demand.

Since the rimless really ride much different than any rimmed tire you will have to buy a full set of 6 rimmed to replace. I thought there used to be some cheap chevron AATV tires for like $59 but can’t find them and that could have been years ago. Cheapest I can find now are $79 a piece which obviously adds up.
You could try something I always wanted to.

$30 a pop is the cheapest 21” AATV tire your gona find, they have no tread but should be pretty sticky and grab like crazy at low pressure, if you just want to spend the least and blast around the yard, dunes, dirt forest roads these could be fun.

Then the 3 to 5 adapter plates..

I lile the tire and it seems to have a decent paddle.
I dont mind using a trolling motor. So if someone has a better tire or rims set up that i dont have to spend over $700. Than PLEASE help lol. Im new to thw 6x6 world, have restored many tractors just never a Attex lol.

Know nothing about those tires but I'd say on a hard surface they're gonna beat ya to death?? You planning on being in the water a lot?? Or mud at all?? Those wheels are exactly what I have. Never busted a bead yet. Adair argo sales has 3 to 5 adapters with lugs for 105 dollars. Can't beat that price.
Good luck

Ok so is there a tire you have found that is soft enough and still good off road/on?
I know I'm being a pain, I just can't afford 1K in tires and wheels right now, and if all goes well should have her ready for tires in 2 weeks, not sure about water a few cracks to seal up first. I was planning on a trolling motor anyway.

Carlisle at 101s swim good and the ride isn't terrible if you keep 2 lbs of air in them. Goodyear runamucks ride and swim well also but not the best in deep mud. I'm running Goodyear rawhide 3s. These tires swim good and eat very well in the mud. I like these the best

I think my problem is i can only fit 21" On the Attex super Chief.

[NIGHTOW1]

I would like the largest tires i can fit without issues.

Runamucks are 22s and I have them on 2 attex machines. Ive also seen 22s on some attexes in Ashtabula. Maybe someone else can chime in on this
Thanks

[NIGHTOW1]

That would be great, i had thought I saw a post that said it wpuld only tale 21". I wpuld love to atleast have 22" pluss there usually a little less inexpensive for the larger tires.
So what is the tire size I should put on it? Come on experts lol

[NIGHTOW1]

Ok will this combo work on my 500 SuperChief? I like the tire and can afford it all but the adaptes right now.
