what size tires

deerhunter88

Anyone running 25x8x12 on front and 25x10x12 on back? This cart is primarily used for hunting and ocassionaly around the house. No subdivision so im not really concerned with wear and tear on pavement. Im thinking about going with the kenda bear claw unless someone knows a lighter tire. I already have the 12" rim. I cant really find and 24' tires for a 12" rim

I'd put the same width on the front and back. That way you can rotate them from time to time.

I normally do that too, but have run different size tires front and rear. Here is a pic of a cart I built for my dad and we ran 22x8x10's on the front and 22x11x10's on the rear.

He liked that the front were narrower and liked how it steered easier.

A few carts before that, I had a guy that wanted me to build him a cart with tall narrow tires. He wanted the traction but with less rolling resistance. It looked a little different than the fat tires, but drove really good.

Check out my buddy's build thread. Txt on 25's

He just set his up like that and had some clearance issues to work through. But it looks great!!

A pic to make it easier

That is how I run my tires, 8" up front and 12" in back. I like the look of it better than the fat tires up front, steers easier too. Drove a buddies with fat fronts and mine steers easier.

8's on the front will definately steer better, but I put 10's on all the way around.

I built the cart in the pics above for a guy and was actually not sold on the look. After driving it, it is really the best of both worlds. It has plenty of traction, steers great and has less 'foot print' for less rolling resistance. These were AT-489 tires 24x8x12's. Them being narrower helps with clearance around the brake lever, too.

I have 23x10.5x12 inch tires on the cart now. I dont see why the cart wouldnt clear 25" tires. Im pretty sure it is a 6" jakes spindle lift on the cart.
