I have some old pressure washer tires. Could I use them on my go kart for front tires. would they be able to stand the weight?

The two potential problems I can foresee is the quality of the bearings, and the construction of the rims. The bearings (if any), are likely of a very low quality that could be prone to self-destruction under the rigors of karting. Let's face it- pressure washers don't tend to roll at 30MPH or so. Many low-quality wheels are not constructed in such a way that they can take the sideloads encountered when steering at speed.
The tires might be okay.
If you toss up a pic or two, it should help us help you.

Pictures of Wheels
I might use these http://www.pressurewashersnow.com/5-8-Bearing-10-Replacement-Wheel-p/660.019.htm
The of the ones I have might have a hole in it.
In the pictures, the wheels are on some other toy right now. I am going to take them off and put them on my go kart.
There are bolts for a hub, and there is a hub on it, but you cant take it off its welded to one side of the rim. The bolts hold the sides of the rim together.
