What kind of tire pressure should I be running? I haven't gone to the track at all yet I am just trying to get a good idea. I have a 80cc shifter by the way. Thanks for any info.

Also on tires... what is a good sticky race tire?

What would also be a good practice tire? Where is a good place to get them? I know I could search all day long on the internet and find hundreds but what would be a good one? Thanks!

pressure depends on the weather. i would run around 12-13. Does your track have a spec tire? YHA are really sticky. The only downside is that you can only run 1 weekend with them. YGX and White Vega's are also sticky. X's are the most stickiest.

I have to find out if the track has a certain tire that they run, that is a good question. Would you say just stick with the local kart shop to get tires or is there a place on the net that everyone likes? Thanks for all the info!!

Well I just called the local track and it looks like the shifters run a YHC compund tire.... time to start looking I guess...

Try Revord Motors - 425-353-3199. Jon has a good price on tires. If you were closer he would mount them for you. YHC are around $160/set may be a little less.
