    If you want smoothies 21 x 12 x 8 work well with 2 ply

    If you want a smaller tire - golf cart tires

    Golf carts "usually" use 18x8x8 or similar size. These will work.

    They have a light tread to them rather than smooth and are 4-ply.

    Snowmobile/boat trailer tires are also available in a 8" rim size too.
