I used the 6" x 5.5" tires on mine. Seems to work well. As far as where to find tires, I would try Ebay. Specifically Smoking Joes Racing. I have had good luck with him, but others have not been as happy.

I used 6.00x6" on the front of the first 2 Racers that I built and they worked great. The last 3 that I have built , I have used treaded Bridgestone 10x4.00 or 3.50 x5" with the wheel width 1/2"-1" wider than the tire.The little narrower tire really seems to steer smoother and handles great at 40mph.
