Do a Google search  for:    Cedar Rapids Tire Co.

They have a tire sizing capability and good prices!!

Hope this helps!!

I tried the cedar rapids site but they don't have a big selection and they don't have my size. As far as CDN tire i am not sure that they sell snowblower tires

Do you guys know if i would be able to put a 14/5.00-6 on my rims to replace the original 14-4.00-6 or would they be too wide to fit on the rims

 those numbers mean   a 13" diameter, not circumference.  4" is the width of rim,  6" is diameter of rim.   you can later the 13 but the rest have to stay the same.  the second headache is trying to remove the wheels from the axle.  in some case here in the shop we have to actually cut the axle,  then of course replace.
