Pneumatic Wheel Compendium (Serious)

Are those the CST 9x3.5”? What is optimal rim width?

What do you guys think about the blue sun mate tires?
Like these ones—

They’re good ride wise. Compound could be a bit harder. They start to look a bit dark after a while but nothing bad like white wheels.

Made a go kart for my son with them a few years back.

Does anyone know of any true rubber offroad tires? almost everything in this thread is nylon.

I found just the tyres on Ali.
Full octo-pneumatic stupidity.

This is the one that actually arrived, and the tyres weren’t dry rotted. But it got twice as expensive since the last time I bought it. At this price, if you live in North America, just get the Hoyt tyres.

There’s a 2x cheaper listing on “Tian store”. I ordered it the first time, but they only sent me the tubes and forgot the tyres. I got my money back, no problem.

They say it was a logistics error, so they might still have them.
