Re: G1, power after larger tires
just to let you know its a 10 inch lift, moved front tires forward 2.5", centered rear tires in wheel wells and made the width 6" wider.

Re: G1, power after larger tires

Re: G1, power after larger tires
Most carts can get around with 22-23s, but 25s start to make it tough on stock power. But G1 is about the most power of any stock cart. It becomes a problem on hills mostly.
