Interesting tread pattern there, one I've never seen before.

Normally, I only shop for Kenda or Cheng Shin in tires that small, and I know exactly what I'm getting. Those two brands are Taiwanese and Taiwan isn't China...they have been a manufacturing powerhouse (quality goods) way longer than China and they have real quality control.

Buy a set and try them out. I mean they look ok and seem to have all the typical tire markings and such.

EDIT--They don't seem to have a Ply rating listed or seen on the tire and it may not mean much anymore but a 4 ply is better than a 2 ply and so on.

They are same size as stock tires on it now...

Price is relative. Do you need tubes for the ebay versions? I'd say go with the Mfgsupply items.

 

[Jedibrad]

Yes would need tubes for either one...so mfgsupply not nessasarily junk?

 

[Dustin2017]

If I was buying I'd go for the eBay tires due to they have more tread and more of a aggressive tread pattern.

 

[Jedibrad]

Yeah I like the tread pattern better on the eBay one too but I like the mfg ones because they are 1" taller.... decisions, decisions

If I switch to a 6" tire what would be my best sprocket ratio...It has now a 36 tooth...still need to get clutch/sprocket...13 tooth?...it's gonna be a yard kart not concerned with top speeds...

Those are good tires at MFGSupply. You could work up a small order for other parts you needed there--order all you want and it's $6.99 flat rate shipping.

Just re-use the tubes you have. You do have tubes, right?

That's a link to all the manuals. Fine work there.

Why not show us some photos of YOUR kart because it's sometimes fruitless to expect that everything is still factory/OEM condition-wise... and might not match the diagrams.
