30 series sprocket help

Yeah i still have to install my kill switch on mine, hopefully your boy didnt get to banged up but when it comes to buying a used/older kart i always take precautions. A tire chuck is a good idea thanks. I get my 12T sprocket tomorrow. Not sure if i wanna change it out probably wouldn't even be that much of a difference i need to get some new tires its got 145/70-6 original rims and tires on it now just dont know what to buy. Harbor freight or order some online?

Buy online. Harbor Freight tires and wheels disappoint 99.9% of buyers. Are you riding on pavement or dirt / grass soon to be dirt?

I wanted to put slicks on it just for the road. This thing doesnt have any suspension lol i could fab some suspension on it but id rather upgrade the engine than upgrade the frame to handle coil/springs.

I would go with 5" in that case. No need to roll extra weight around

Right on man great idea so basically i just need a new set of 5" 5/8 rims and tires should bolt right up?

I overlooked the fact you have 6" wheels. I have the same situation as I have six inch wheels and want slicks. I dont want to buy wheels AND tires though. I was hoping to buy some low profile 6"s. I had some scoped out online for $22 apiece but I'm not sure of the quality. I will try to find them again and will let you know.
