stand in front of you cart facing it, take a pic, post it and lets see what you have.

make sure wheels are straight ahead, and yes tires need to be pumped up.

pavement riding will chew tires up really fast, over-inflation will wear the centers out. As far as uneven wear goes, do as zman indicated, take some dead on forward shots. Check your ball joints and tie rod ends for looseness (wear) along with the a-arm bushings.

Dude, you have different sized tires. Get the same size first.

Yes, that looks like pavement wearing them out.

Tr1p 07-11-2015 12:51 PM

Both my tires are the same size

Tr1p 07-11-2015 12:52 PM

And does anyone know of some tires that wont wear on pavement?

x-bird 07-11-2015 12:59 PM

golf cart tires will be much better, but you'll need 8 inch rims up front. otherwise, you're looking at go kart tires.

Tr1p 07-11-2015 01:01 PM

Will that influence the karts preformance?

Passanger side looks larger than the drivers side.

I had the same size tires too, but they were not when you measured them.

If you don't ride in the dirt, slicks last the longest on pavement.

Tr1p 07-12-2015 01:14 PM
