About 10 years ago!
Silvertown by BF Goodrich, 4.80/10" Bias Ply, $70 .....tiny little things!
another $14 for tube ..... plus freight.
I've also seen some currently listed on GREEDbay for $91 ea.
I still have a pair (never mounted) and tubes that I'd sell for $160 which includes shipping
(provided you're not in Canada)

Yes, Tire.com has some good deals, I just ordered some this week.

I have put over 15,000 miles under electric power on my converted N600. The
drive train was originally in a Z600 until it rusted out from our Ohio
winters. And yes, as it sounds like you've been thinking, it has an
electric motor sitting where the cylinders were.
Specs are at www.evalbum.com/325

Thanks for the data on your conversion. I was thinking of doing the same thing but I will try to fix my engine first. About 10 years ago I put together an electric riding mower. It worked pretty well. The 600 Honda is just a fun project since I have a 92 Honda Civic VX that runs great, gets 43 mpg and has AC for my daily driver.
You have my sympathy with Ohio winters and rust. I lived in Bellefontaine OH. until 2007 when I retired to TN.

Are you using the transmission?  Here is a converted Subaru 360 with the old trans intact.

Yes, I'm gearbelting into the 600's transmission input shaft exactly like it appears they are doing into this Subaru.  I see they used a regular gearbelt... I shredded some teeth off on my first attempt because an electric motor has so much low end torque.  They are using a wider belt than I did so maybe it is OK, but I switched to a polychain belt that has deeper, stronger teeth.
