I'm an old mechanic who has worked on a 'few tires' (sarcasm) I went out to HF and held the tire in my hand, I started digging my thumbnail into the tread, With complete ease I was digging chunk after chunk out of the tread, I could have easily destroyed this tire in minutes with no tools, These tires are not a good option in my opinion. Maybe good for a quick sale.

Great idea. Drill a hole in the yoke and put in a grease fitting the bearings will last longer

Did that. To mine

I don't know what happened in the last 4 years, but those tires are $20 a piece now. not even close to worth it

Those $5 tires lasted 30-40 minutes on the front of my kart. Might be ok for offroad, especially grass but on pavement they don't last long at all.

Correct they are dangerous and should not use or lawn mower rim or tires. 6303 is the standard high speed bearing but the problem with those rims are one you will blow a bearing quick and sometimes the rim will explode. Do you want to be going 30 plus and that happen? Please protect the kids and yourself. Buy from a go kart supplier not amazon or ebay because they buy these and resale. I put the 6203 in a lawn mower rim just to be able to move it when waiting for replacement but not to be rode.

Where did you get the bolts for the rear wheels that weren't galvanized or zinc coated?

Any suggestions for a trike axel with a left rear wheel DD type drive side axel shape, one wheel drive system? It's a 5/8 axel with an H style DD that's 7/8 on the flats. I can't find a hub to fit it.

May i suggest the $10 tires from tractor supply. They look identical to your $5 tire but the bearing is WAY smoother. That $6 tire has only marginally better bearings - they’re still very “notchy”

Is the stem touching anything whenever the tire is rotating. It's happened before to go-kart that Seen before what they did is they installed a new tube and they had it where in the stem instead of going straight up it went towards outside of the round so in that case it wasn't touching anything does that make sense?

Where did you get the connector?

The tires are wearing down very quickly but I'm going to go back and buy the bigger ones for $15 each and see lol. Make sure you retighten your wheel nuts when taking breaks.

This "$5" wheel is now $9, just 6 years later. Hmmmm, what changed since 6 years ago that has caused prices to go up 80% in 6 years? Let's go Brandon!

DO NOT BUY THESE TIRES FOR A GO CART!!!!!!!!! The damn things will break at the hub! Do you want to be going 30+mph when that happens?? These are meant for wagons and wheel barrels. Had it happen by the way, about shit my pants! 🥴
