Being brutal...... as usual with people on this web site, you make things MUCH harder for us to help you by NOT posting enough info. about your problem. You are NOT the worst but......

Tyres that would help a Cadet go faster probably won't be quite as effective on a 250cc twin or vice versa

So.... just TELL us what sort of kart you drive and where you drive it. If you want our help, do some work to make it easier for us!

You also need to tell us your BUDGET and we need to know what sort of life-expectancy you need from the tyre.

I'll give you some 'history' that will illustrate the problem. Back in the 1970s and 80s, the very 'best' tyres were 'qualifying' tyres.... even if drivers could GET them, very few could afford to BUY them (even if they were for sale!) and they lasted for about 3 laps..... exactly the length of time that you had for a qualifying session. To add to the fun, these sometimes came wrapped in 'cellophane' which was only removed as the kart started rolling down the pit lane.... The suggestion was that they went 'off' if exposed to the air for more than a few minutes...... They gripped SO well that you ran your axles MUCH wider (a good couple of inches) than standard or the grip was SO high that they made you into a two-wheeler mid corner!

I assume you don't want a set of these....
