My go kart speed is 40mph with a torque converter and everything I drive on is gravel. Is there any tires that are fairly inexpensive and won't fly apart when I'm driving it at 40mph ? (these back tires only lasted 2 hours) It's not fun driving it when you're with flat tires in the ditch.

Photos please, of the tires you're using. If nothing else, it will show us all what to avoid.

Aside from that, yeah we need your tire sizes.
...better not be Harbor Freight.

Tire size is 3.50 4.10 - 4
Or there 10 inches across with a tape measure
There probably princesses auto tires found them in my yard there new and there wearing holes in the tires which put a hole in the tube and put me in the ditch
Princess auto is basically the Canadian version of Harbor freight

Chancer's link shows what you need to be looking for but in all fairness, those tires look like "Turf Saver" riding lawn mower tires. As such, they are merely specified for low speed duty... in your yard...where they will last for a decade or more. They are not speed rated in any way.

Aside from that, your photos seem to indicate a simple but catastrophic puncture. You have any idea what you ran over if anything?

What do the tires say on the sidewall; brand?

The tires you posted a link to are a fine tire for go Karts. But they are also for a 6" rim.
You have 4" Rims.
Just plan on getting rims too or order for a 4" rim.
