There basically is no other tire available for a 10" wheel other than the
ndt one. There are some ATV tires in the 10" size that are wide enough and
might work, but definetely use a tube. BUT the load rating on ATV tires is
so low that you basically will be at the capacity of the tires when empty.
If you can get some 12" wheels then there is a world of options. I was at a
truck/industrial tire dealer and there were pages and pages of 12" tires,
all kinds of treads. The mules that were retrofitted with electrics also
where switched to 12" wheels, or so I'm told. I just saw a set of those
wheels for sale, $450 for all 4.
Good Luck,
