Tire Selection for pavement

[catman78]

Hi guys,

Looking to replace dry rotted tires on a "Free" go kart my son and I are building($300 in parts so far)...

Anyways, current tires are 15" round knobby tires rear,1" front.
rims appear to be 6".

Engine is 212 predator with stage 1 parts.

Please recommend for street use:
ribbed vs slick
diameter(stagger or all same)

I was looking here for selection:

Photo didn't make it. DOA.

I would suggest some good 4-ply slicks for pavement, dry pavement. Ribbed tires for some water-channeling ability if hydroplaning is going to be a factor. It really doesn't make much difference though.

All the same tire on all four corners, of course.

Fronts Walmart. Back ones I've seen on sale somewhere recently like BMI or gopowersports.com. Maybe even ebay.
