It depends what do you want to use the go kart for, street use or off road

I am glad you wrote this post...
I right now have some rear 15x6x6 turf tires on the rear of my kart. I plan on putting those size up front too.

I like the ride height, stability, and torque with this size. My current kart is not complete. So I have not had a chance to wear the turf tires out...
I will be riding mainly road with the occasional drift into the yard.

Maybe Slicks then....huh. For you and me both... let us know your decision and review. As I am in the market soon after those wear down.
