Kart tyre sets for dry and wet track conditions

The correct kart tyre set has a major influence on handling, grip and consistency on the track. Front and rear tyres transfer steering, braking and acceleration forces between the kart and the track surface.

For dry asphalt, kart slick tyres are normally used. When the track is wet or rain conditions are expected, special wet kart tyres with a tread pattern are required.

A complete kart tyre set normally combines the required front and rear tyres. Always check the tyre sizes and scope of delivery shown on the individual product page.

Kart slick tyre sets for dry tracks

Kart slick tyres have a smooth tread surface and are designed for dry track conditions. The large contact area helps provide predictable grip and direct steering response on suitable asphalt surfaces.

Different slick compounds and tyre models can behave differently in terms of warm-up, grip, consistency and service life. For this reason, the correct tyre should be selected according to the kart, driver, track and intended use.

Kart tyres for training and hobby karting

For practice sessions and recreational karting, drivers often look for predictable handling and consistent performance over several sessions.

Depending on your kart and driving style, a durable training tyre may be more suitable than a softer competition-focused compound. Check the specifications on the individual product page before ordering.

Kart tyres for racing and competition

In kart racing, tyre choice is often controlled by the regulations. A championship or race organiser may specify a particular manufacturer, model, compound or approved tyre version.

Always check the current regulations of your kart class before purchasing competition tyres. The tyre model must match the requirements of the relevant event or series.

Wet kart tyre sets for rain conditions

A wet kart track requires a completely different tyre from a dry racing surface. Wet kart tyres use a tread pattern designed to help move water away from the contact area.

For racing teams and regular drivers, having a complete wet tyre set available can be important when weather conditions change during a race weekend. Competition regulations must also be checked for the permitted wet tyre model.

MAXXIS kart tyre sets

MAXXIS kart tyres are available for different kart applications, including racing, training, endurance and rental kart use. The correct model depends on the required tyre characteristics and the intended kart application.

MAXXIS tyres for rental, training and endurance use

For rental kart tracks, training sessions and longer running periods, durability and predictable handling are often especially important. MAXXIS offers tyre models for these types of applications.

Compare the available tyre dimensions with your current tyres and the kart rims fitted to your kart before ordering.

MAXXIS racing kart tyres

MAXXIS also offers kart tyres developed for performance-oriented and competition karting applications. Different compounds and tyre versions may be available depending on the model.

For racing use, do not select a tyre only by kart class or compound description. Always verify the current regulations of your championship or event.

MOJO kart tyre sets for Rotax MAX

MOJO kart tyres are well known within the Rotax MAX racing environment. Different MOJO tyre models are used for different age groups, performance levels and weather conditions.

Before purchasing a MOJO tyre set, check your exact Rotax MAX class and the current regulations. Micro MAX, Mini MAX, Junior MAX, Senior MAX and DD2 may require different tyre models.

MOJO slick tyres

MOJO offers different slick tyre versions for Rotax kart classes and dry racing conditions. The correct model depends on the class, series and current technical regulations.

Always check the exact product specification and the rules of your championship before ordering.

VEGA kart tyre sets for racing and training

VEGA kart tyres are available in different slick and wet-weather versions for kart racing, training and other kart applications.

VEGA slick and wet kart tyres

Depending on the current Kartstore range, you can find VEGA slick tyres for dry track conditions as well as wet tyres for rain.

For competition use, the presence of a homologation does not automatically mean that a tyre is permitted in every championship. Always check the current event regulations.

Choose kart tyre sets by size

Front and rear kart tyres normally use different dimensions. Before buying a new set, check the size markings on your existing front and rear tyres and compare them with the specifications of the new tyre set.

The tyres must also be suitable for the kart rims being used. Information such as tyre width, outside diameter and rim diameter can usually be found in the product description or technical specifications.

Which kart tyres are right for my application?

• Hobby kart: choose tyres according to the kart, track and desired handling characteristics
• Training: consider durability, consistency and the purpose of the practice session
• Rental kart: check whether the tyre is intended for rental or high-mileage use
• Rotax MAX: select the correct MOJO tyre according to class and current regulations
• Racing kart: check homologation and championship tyre regulations
• Wet track: use an appropriate wet kart tyre with tread
