Tires for Honda 600

[stephen0123]

What's the latest info on tire availabilty for Honda 600s.  I've been away form the Honda 600 message boards for awhile.
A search brought up a post for King's tires from Coker tires -they seem abit pricey at around $65 each,and some kind of a discount through Summit Racing.
Anything else out there?  Also, Will tires sizes 145 80 10 and 165 70 10 fit well on the standard Honda 600 wheel?
And one more thing, what's the thought on using tubes in new tires?  Is it overkill?
Thank you for any info.
Steve

Kurt is correct, and I have a set on my car purchased through Summit….
The discount on the King tire sold by Coker is that Coker will charge shipping, where as if you purchase through Summit they ship free for orders over $200.00.   Any tire in the US has to meet DOT specs.  So, even though other countries have the same requirements they don't meet DOT specs.  A tire coming in from some where else would cost the same or more if it meets the DOT requirements.

Just curious, what do these tires look like?  Does any one have a picture of them I could see?
Thank you very much if you do.
BTW, I just clicked on "add to cart" for two of these tires, and my subtotal was free shipping, even though my purchase total was only $130.  I don't know if that is because of my location, but I doubt it since I live in Missouri.

I just bought another set of Kings tires, this time without calling, since Summit clearly now has it on their site, I  simply checked 4 in the quantity box, paid with pay pal
$ 260. grand total  shipped to Portland Oregon . $ 65. ea. free shipping .
Best deal out there ! probably wont last.  Fits Isetta's and Subaru 360's too !
