Wheels and tires are much smaller than those used on a normal car. Wheels are made of magnesium alloy or aluminum. Similar to other motorsports, kart tires have different types for use appropriate to track conditions:

  • Slicks for dry weather. In international level racing these are some of the softest and most advanced tires in motorsport. Some car tire manufacturers make tires for Karts such as Bridgestone or Dunlop; however, there are also specific Kart tire manufacturers, for example MG or Vega. Kart tires come in many different compounds from very soft to very hard.
  • Rain tires for wet weather
  • Intermediates for damp or low traction conditions. Sometimes worn rain tires are used.
  • Special, such as spiked tire for icy conditions, or cuts for high grip dirt/clay speedways. Cuts are modified slicks using a lathe to optimize handling while spiked tyres are slicks with screws through them.
