assuming this is the same kart as in the other post
u cant use lawn mower tyres as they are made to go at 10mph they need to be balanced i also dont know how they will hold up at that speed

Golf kart tires. They can handle a bit more speed and are not too tough to find.

well, if your cool with your crappy sears tire, or your home depot bearings failing at 70mph 2" from the grond, with no roll cage, and no seat belts, have fun.

ik i dont have alot of $ after i just rebuild me engine so

If you've got any kart race tracks (not pay to ride/rental tracks) in your area: Go out and ask the racers if they have any use race tires for sale. You'll find some of the top/rich racers only use a new set of tires for 1 or 2 races and then sell their mounted tires/rims for $20 or so a piece because brand new tires work a little better and turn faster lap times.

Look for solid golf cart tires. I've seen a complete set on rims for $100. Wear off the tread and now you have solid slicks. These won't disintegrate.
