Where to buy 8 x 6.00 tires

My 172 has the heavy duty fork and a 6x6 tire. I want to upgrade my rear mains to 8x6.00. Where is the best, read least expensive, place to buy them? Looks like the tubes are almost as expensive as the tires.. Who'da thunk it...

Don't know nothing about sizes, but the $60 Dresser (sp?) Monster retread tires I'm using now have already outlasted the $170 Michelin Aire's I had on before, and they've got another couple hundred landings in them.

If you're looking for non-specialized tires, they seem to be the most bang for the buck.

I would agree that Dresser is about the cheapest and most likely to have what you want tire source around.
