tire sizes

[jeff_man]

i've heard the size of the tire is different with it pumped up, is this true. so if i had 6" tire with it all pumped up with air would the diamiter be bigger. if so is there like a calculation thingy that will figure out the final diamiter

IMO just have to try it out yourself or it might say it, but anyways it wont be that much of a diference

so about 4 more inches are added to wheel diamiter. I'm going to use knobby tires for an off road go kart

honestly i've never heard that before, so to tell you the truth i'd would test that fact before i incorporated that flaw into my kart.(if u can call it a flaw)

i think you mean 6" rims. 6" tires are quite small.

that's why i'm asking, i dont want to get 8 or 10 inch tires and the tire be huge.
