11x7.00-5 VS 11x7.10-5

[mrshrib]

so im completely new to karting and im trying to find some new tires for my first rolling chassis, i searched the tire size (11x7.00-5) and all that came up was 11x7.10-5 and i just wanted to know if thats just what i should get. another thing, could somebody help me find tubes for this size of tire or lmk if they even exist? bc last owner somehow ran split rims with no tubes, and im pretty sure they super glued the beads or sum cus they aint comin off lol. none of the tires hold air at all

also, if anyone knows what kart this is, plz lmk

I believe your chassis is a Bug Supersprint - probably mid 80's era? 11x7.10x5 is a common tire size for sprint/road race karts. Yes, if the tires have been mounted a long time, they can be a bugger to get off! I would suggest buying the RLV bead breaker tool, they're not too expensive and should do the job for you. If they still won't come off, maybe soak the beads with WD40 and set them set a while? When you get your wheels apart, you'll see there's an o-ring in the center to seal the two halves. They don't need tubes.
