Ok, you be the winner. Hey, guys...I've only told you you're going to need quality hubs multiple times now

I was thinking something like 10"-13". I just looked, and there doesn't seem to be a lot (what an understatement) of trailer wheels that are even 13" from bottom of the tire to the top. Hints?If you go with 4âx4 hubs there too with bearings you can use trailer tires. They will wear great and last longer!
Pay attention to ALL the numbers.I was thinking something like 10"-13". I just looked, and there doesn't seem to be a lot (what an understatement) of trailer wheels that are even 13" from bottom of the tire to the top. Hints?
I don't know! It goes against all my preconceived notions of how a go kart should be made.Whatâs wrong with running all 4 wheels and tires the same size?
That is probably the best possible reason that could have been come up with. Golf cart tires in back, wheelbarrow tires in front.From what I gather, he wants the Big-n-Little look. Fat out back, pizza cutters up front

Physics will bâ tch slap your "preconceived notions" like a pissedoff polar bear.I don't know! It goes against all my preconceived notions of how a go kart should be made.
You would be better off with 12x5-6 waffles up front, and 20x10-8 or 24Ă12-10 on the rearThat is probably the best possible reason that could have been come up with. Golf cart tires in back, wheelbarrow tires in front.
Maybe I need to check into wider wheels.Physics will bâ tch slap your "preconceived notions" like a pissedoff polar bear.
When it comes to handling characteristics, wider is always better up until the point its just plain rediculous.
Wider tires offers more traction AND a wider chassis offers a more stable platform for said traction when hurling into a corner... getting as low as reasonably possible helps as well because it leaves less room for the unsprung mass to roll.
Pay more now to pay less later is definitely the way to play. FFS that the whole reason genuine Comet belts are pushed so hard here and it is exceedingly unlikely a blown belt is going to do more than leave some gnarly welts.Every frigging time I use a hand truck, the pneumatic tires are flat. The bearing suck and wobble. Not the thing I want on a fast(er than walking) powered anything.
Ever hear the saying "Lo barato sale caro"?
The cheap comes out expensive.
That's what I figured. How about these? They're a little larger than I was thinking, but I think they should work: Northern Tool wheelsDo not listen to that moron in the video.
