Bought my first cart. How big is too big for tires?
Got a 86 G1. I was going to lift it and run 25" rear and 22" front tires. I chose these sizes because I already have them.
After the maiden voyage with my cart I found there really isnt a whole lot of power, especially in the lowend. I have had a lot of lifted truck and understand ow tire diameter effects gearing. Am I going to ruin what little performance I have by running 25" tires? |

Without clutch work, yes.

Re: Bought my first cart. How big is too big for tires?
Exactly. A good running G1 should be able to peel the stock tires on grass with no problem but yes more gearing is harder to holeshot/climb/tow. G1 can get a lot of rpm and go fast with stock tires, but that don't help with lifts and big tires. Its kinda up to you. G1 should not have much different power than a 4 cycle excepting a newer 357 yamaha, they are a very low rpm 2 stroke but will rev out. They used the same clutch with no issue other than the G2 clutch can hit the frame when you lift it. Working over the clutches can get you back most of the lost power at low speeds. Cutting the head and few other things will give some more power, a fresh top end is also needed on a 2 stroke to get the most power so check the compression.
