Tire sizes

[8urn'7]

im almost done with the kart now.i have just ordered new 10 1/4 tires for the kart and want to know is this a good size for a single wheel drive honda clone go kart.

Do you mean they're 10-1/4" tall? If so ,those should work out pretty good on many karts but not all. Whats the actual size? There should be 3 numbers. (like for example: 10.25" x 800" x 5")

If you could post a pic of your kart and meyby a link to the tires you picked out, we could give you much better advice here.

Yeah the size is probably fine, but those tires/wheels were pretty much only intended for hand truck/dolly type duty. Several guys here have tried those on go karts, many reported that the crappy bearings soon failed and also that the hub portion broke away from the outer rim. I'd imagine the tires aren't much better than the rims...

DO NOT i repeat DO NOT USE THESE ON A KART GOING OVER 20MPH WITHOUT BEEFING UP!
i used these on my kart, and they were a heap of sh1t! the hubs broke on the first run. spend an extra $5 per wheel and get second hand ride on lm wheels
