Understanding Kart Tire Size Measurements

Kart tires list their size measurements a little different than automotive tires. They list the overall diameter, tire width and rim width. Onewheel Tire Upgrade Understanding Tire Size Measurements

Standard Onewheel Tire Size

The standard Onewheel tire size is 11.5 X 6.5-6. It is a Vega, MBM white.  This tire has great wear resistance and gets decent traction over varied terrain. The  Vega tire has a relatively flat contact patch, giving it the greatest stability and making it the ideal learners tire. The downside of the square shape is it lacks the agility available to a rounder tire. If you don’t think you are ready for an upgrade, you can get yourself a Vega Here.Vega Onewheel Tire (1)

    Thanks for the great overview on tires. I’ve been riding my Onewheel XR for a few weeks, and loving it. However, I had one crash that still has me a little spooked, caused by an uneven road surface that threw me into a wobble, and I couldn’t recover, so went down rather hard. Fortunately I had good gloves on and escaped with only minor abrasions, but it really surprised me that I lost control like that. Is there a tire that handles uneven surfaces with more stability than the original, flat Vega tire? I’m not looking for just a flat ride … I love carving and being agile on the board, but this Vega tire seems to not really want to carve that much. So if I get a tire that carves better, does it also handle uneven road surfaces better, with less wobble? Or would there be more wobble?
    Thank you for your help!!

      Hi Rich, I know exactly how you feel! As an experiment, I recently forced my self to ride a stock XR for 100 something miles, and while it was still fun, the difference is crazy.
      The Vega is great in a straight line but with the square profile, I totally understand why you are having a hard time carving.
      Craft&Ride has some great choices.
      Tire choice is very subjective but think the Hoosier 11 x 6.0-6 Slick would be a good place to start.
