Changing tires on hammerhead 150cc

[Jsmith960]

I'm wanting to change the tires on my hammerhead 150 by myself but I'm not quite sure how to go about it and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

The tires I bought are the same as the ones currently on it which are the V tread tires.

Thank you for the help in advance!

Remove the rim n tire from the kart..

Its a wrestling match to get them off and on..

Theres tons of videos and different ways to break the bead and reseat the bead once you get the new tire on..

Those v-threads
If you plan on loose sand and gravel a lot, you can flip the tread for more grip

what is the bead?

that's a good idea to reverse the tires. I'll give that a try.

The bead is the hard edge of the tyre that sits in the rim; it can be extremely difficult to break the seal, even if you do know what you're doing...

Being that I had to answer that question, I think you may be better off taking the tyres to someone who knows how to change them; if they charge you anything, it shouldn't be more than about $10 & paying $10 to save $60-100 worth of tyres sounds like a good idea to me...
