I have a super wheels go kart by carter. I have just got it off of craigslist and got it up and running. For some reason the tires in the front are getting some heavy wear and already popped in the first week of use. Does anyone know if i could fix the problem, and where could i get some heavy duty front tires for a good price? thanks.

Are the tires wearing on either the inside or the outside specifically? Or general uniform wear? Are your tires parallel with each other? If the insides or the outsides are wearing out faster, you may have an alignment issue. Look for that first, or you'll continue to wear them out.

Did you check out all the stuff I told you to?
Also, if you're running without a diff on pavement, that'll do some tire damage, esp. if your frontend geometry sucks.

Many things could be causing this, I agree that pictures will be necessary to diagnose your problem. Though it could just be a case of the wrong tread type, and ATV tires won't be any better, you may need a slick.
