Hi,

Thanks for that info.

Yes, I thrash round LLandow with my daughter once a month or so. The chassis we are using are just old Zip karts. We don't 'race' but when we get on the track, we like to get our foot down and have as much fun as we can.

So it is not really all that important from an absolute performance point of view, but I would like to get it right. I try and keep the karts in top condition, with new engines and parts, so I don't want to throw any old size on them. The tyres look right with 115/175mm. Do you think 115/190mm would be OK. I'm a bit worried about the 190mm rears?? My mate bought a set of wide rears (wider than mine) and the tyre walls were REALLY spread.

Ebay are selling a lovely set of polished Ross Edwards wheels at 115mm (same offset) and 190mm

Thanks for your help
