Tire Size Question

[hailtotheking]

Hi all, I have a go kart with tire size 4.10/3.50-5

Can someone explain what this means? Thanks

The kart tire I took out has a rim size of 6 inches in diameter.

Does that mean I need to find a tire with 4.10/3.50-6? Im looking to replace all four tires.

Just because the outside diameter of the rim is 6" does not mean it's a 6" rim. Where the tires bead seats at is 5" in diameter.

4.10x3.50-5 is the tire size. If you're just replacing the tires, then just get the same size, they're easy to find really, and cheap enough.

The first nunber is the width, so 4.1 inches.
Second nunber is the height, so 3.5 inches.
The third number is the rim size, so 5 inches.

I like to get these. I want some wider tires.

Are turf tires ok for offroad such as rocks, dirt and sometimes street use? Does that tire accept tubes or is it tubeless only?

Thanks man.

You shouldn't have a problem fitting those at all.

They should be fine for both on and off road.

It's a tubeless tire, but you can use tubes with it. I've never seen a tubeless tire that you couldn't also use a tube with.
