Jiglu: BLOKART-NZ: Discussion: RE: Tyres

Originally sent by: simon bartley

I have had 2 rear tyres destroyed as a result of the
surface at Bruce Pulman park, I am going to try out my
kite buggy wheels/tyres which are larger diameter,same
width, although I'm not so hopeful that the tyres will
last longer or that the cart will go any faster, but
worth a try.
Hopefully some good wind this weekend.

The lighter your tyres and wheels the faster you go,
what about going
for a bigger diameter smaller width wheel it will
have the same contact
patch but turn slower.

Assuming such tyres were available, that much solid
rubber would weigh
several kilos and cost 5–6 times as much as
conventional tyres. I should
also expect you to break at least one stub axle on
every outing

Are solid tyres an option. Weight? Availability?
Composite?

I will be happy if you fit slower tyres Grant but
as you know Jenny
and I
are looking for fastest gear possible to give you
some real
competition

I think the 4 ply standard tyres probably lasted
twice as long as the
2
ply
we have been using lately which are failing well
before rib tread runs
out –
probably from tight turns and all that round the
mountain off-road
stuff.
They might have done better at lower pressure than
30psi max
specification
but see above – slower gear not an option
I am not sure of the price difference yet but will
check this out.

Bruce Pulman is hard on std tyres, i blew out two
which destroyer both
tubes
as
well expensive!! Going to try a slightly bigger
tyre 4.00 x6 with a
max
inflation of
65psi, but beware the hub is rated at 30psi
although the tyre does not
have
a ribbed
tread, it will be slower the upside is that it
will last a lot longer.
The
square profile
tyre you are talking about, will definitely be
slower{more surface
contact}

As I blew out a tyre on Sunday afternoon (one of
many that day) I
need
to
get some new tyres. Has anyone tried bigger tyres.
Being a bit heavier
than
average, I was thinking a larger footprint might
help on the beach.
Would
a
squarer profile be a problem. Anyone got any
thoughts or tried
different
tyres?
