[NISHIJIMAX]

What sizes also ?

 

[animal 77]

[NISHIJIMAX]

Any mor input .?

MBS is the yellow vega that you want.
8.00's on the right side and 4.50's on the left side...
These will be the tire of choice...

You have the right answer, Vega.

 

[gholle03]

Thick yellows You can cut them or run them thick depeding on the track

MBS is the way to go

Would stones benifit me on left side with vegas on right ?

 

[turn4racing]

Vegas all the way around...

Would stones benifit me on left side with vegas on right ?

It depends on the track and how the kart uses the left side tires...we've run Vega's on the right and Dunlops/Firestones on the left before

Most times we run all 4 Vegas....sometimes the track wants a hard LR so we switch it out

Vegas all the way around...

this is how its done and works...might want to roll internal to help soften them some...

 

[mopdog]

I wouldnt prep them at all unless its very cold out. We wipe on the outside 1 coat for night racing when the temp drops, chicken hawks would solve that if I had them tho.

 

[bigcat6]

I should have added to internal prep if temperature is cold out...
