Larger tires
If I put larger tires on my cart, will I pick up top end speed? I need tires, and I thought if I'm gonna put 'em on I may as well pick up a little speed right?
Should I go with 10" rims, or keep the 8" offsets, and put the biggest tires I can get on them? |

Re: Larger tires
When you go taller on tires you are reduceing gear ratio,little more top end little less bottom end,as far as choice do what looks good to you.

Re: Larger tires
If you upsize the tires to 22" or larger, as mentioned you will have to install a lift kit to clear the tires. If you're changing the wheels anyway, I would go with a 10" diameter wheel minimum. Once you dig into lift kits, a good number of them require at least a 10" diameter wheel to clear the hardware involved with the lift kit. You do most of your riding on roads, trails, or offroad? This would have an impact on tire/lift kit selection.
