Hello
I would like some advice on tyre size on a gokart? My main question is whether it is better to have same size all round or smaller on the front rather than at the back.
I am building the frame myself, can post some blueprints for the design. It will be running a 270cc 9HP engine. I am not intending to use it on hard surfaces (by saying 'hard' i mean asfalt etc). Just a toy I can ride around my large backyard.
Also, I'm looking for larger clearance at the front of the kart.
However I am aware that smaller tyres at the front help the dynamics of a kart.
So far I have placed an order for 11" rear and 10" front tyres. Let me know if you have advice.
Thanks,
B.
