Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: Deflate the tire fully and use tire levers to carefully break the bead of the tire from the 6-inch rim.
Inspection: Inspect the inside of the tire casing for sharp objects or debris before inserting the new tube.
Seating: Partially inflate the tube to give it shape before placing it inside the tire, then seat the tire bead back onto the rim.
Care: Always check air pressure before use; under-inflation can lead to sidewall damage or tube pinching.
Storage: If storing your kart for the off-season, keep the tires elevated or rotate them periodically to prevent flat spots on the tube.
