Step 1
Budget. Set a budget on what you want to spend on the tires. There are many features and different qualities to tires.

Step 2
Specifications. Learn what the size and type of tire you currently have on the Go Kart. This information is usually on the side of the tire or in the owner’s manual that came with the Go Kart. Remember to purchase tires base on size and safety of your specific Go Kart.

Step 3
Calculations. Determine how much you will use the Go Kart and in what conditions. The amount of time you spend in the Go Kart is not as important as what type of terrain you will use the vehicle in or what weather patters you will have the tires go through, i.e. rain, sandy conditions, etc.

Step 4
Thread Wear. Take a look at the thread wear ratings for the various tires. Analyze the details or the warranty that initially comes with the tires and determine the likelihood of specific conditions happening. Some tires might not come with stem replacements, flat tire fixes, or a variety of other things that tires typically have with Go Karts.

Step 5
Reviews. Don’t take the sales persons word for it or the information just provided by the manufacturer. Get information from these sources and then go online and read reviews on the tires. It is important to read reviews that are not influenced by companies; typically you will find this more useful than anything.

Step 6
Shop Around. Visit more than one facility for Go Karts; compare prices and services provided before making any decisions. It is very important that you shop around. One stores price can be as high as twenty-five percent more than another stores prices. Remember that a Go Kart’s tires are a specialized type of tire so pricing will vary greatly over stores at times. Prices also tend to vary depending on the season.

The best way to shop is to shop around, shop frequently, and get knowledgeable about Go Kart tires. You should also do maintenance on the tires on a regular basis to avoid having to go out and purchase tires on a frequent basis.

For slightly more experienced riders the A.C.E. Liberty model is available. The A.C.E. Liberty is a model of go-kart for 8 to 12 year old riders. The top speed on these bad boys is 25 mph, plenty of speed to thrill an 8 year old. The A.C.E. Liberty model comes in 4 different colors. This one is valued at fifteen hundred dollars, but can be purchased for just over nine hundred dollars online. While buying online may be the simplest option to get a go-kart for a good price, naturally it is not the only way.

For those who want to save more money and take on a challenge, there is always the option of building your own go-kart. If done in the proper fashion, this method would certainly be the least expensive. Again however, you will need to consult the internet to get specific step by step guides as to how to build your own cart. You could of course spend a lot of money designing your cart exactly the way you want it, but that would defeat your purpose to save money. The best advice is to avoid adding on unnecessary bells and whistles.

One last possible option would probably be the most unlikely, but would potentially have the least effort involved. If you were lucky enough to see an ad for a go-kart being sold at a yard sale or auction, you should jump at it. These kinds of opportunities are rare, but they are the most rewarding. Someone selling a go-kart at a yard sale or auction may not give you the best possible product, but you will likely get the best possible price. Someone selling a go-kart at a yard sale is looking to simply unload it and may be willing to meet your reasonable price offer.
