Tires

[AZBoy520]

Hello my fellow DIYer's

I got a question, I just bought some 6" WMS True Roll Wheels (6x6x2.5) and I plan on putting them on a street/offroad kart. My problem is the tallest slick tires I can find are only 11 inches.

My question to you guys and gals is......

Can I use Superturf Saver Tires (15x6x6) on these Aluminum Wheels?

Thanks

As long as your rim size matches you can run plus 1 or 2 inches on width ....example I got 8x7 rims with 22x11x8 tires and that's plus 4 on the width but everybody else you going to tell u to add pics and ask your ratio and if its torque converter or centrifugal clutch to were I answer a simple question with a simple answer but all that does matter theoretically

Thanks, so basically they would work and I can stretch the tires somewhat, i.e 15x6x6 tire on a 6x6.5 rim?

Yea that would work but your tread might be recessed thinner than the rim like on a yard kart how the rim is fatter than the tread I have found its better to go with a slightly wider tire than rim I find that it keeps its bead locked better thats why my tires are 4 inches wider than my rims..also more theory's don't know if its proven but the higher the side walls the wider tire I go it seems less likely to throw the tire off the rim from my experience

Ha ha ha, I grew up in Cleveland, but now live in AZ after getting out of the Air Force. Boy I sure do miss the excellent fishing Ohio has to offer

 

[superballskart]

Idk if I could leave Ohio just cause the fishing and hunting is so good here we ain't like Texas and gotta spent thousand to feed wild deer just to get a trophy buck.I went out first day shot a nice 9 point buck rest the year seen all bucks and I had mine bagged next year first day hit a 12 point on public hunting land at that haha
