I picked up my new tires over the weekend from bonsignore kart shoppe. the tires look great but they are a little tuff to mount. the side walls seem very stiff. Has anybody else mounted the new tires yet ?

Joe, I put mine in front of the heater for a few minutes and that helped, still not as easy to mount as the dunlops.

good thinking woot , my wrists hurt the next day after mounting 12 tires cold. the left sides were easy but the right sides were tuff. now im looking foward to burning them up. see you at practice.



hey woot lets do hooters again sometime i had a good time.

thanks joe and I was told the same thing from a few reliable sources and a good handling go kart also helps with tire wear :)
