Wheels of steel

There are many adjustments one can make to the components on the go kart, i.e. raising or lowering the rear axle, or even how your seat is mounted.
The wheels and the tyres used however, is one of the most important factors in how your kart handles.

There are basically 2 kinds of wheels to choose.
First are Alloy wheels and the other is magnesium.

Alloy wheels are usually a aluminium based alloy.
Alloy wheels are generally stiffer than their magnesium alternatives.
This in turn generates more mechanical grip.
It is generally recommended to use hard tyres with alloy wheels.

One can also use a combination of a pair of a type of wheels, either in the front set or rear set.
For example, one coulde install magnesium wheels at the back to correct a situation where the rear alloy wheels had too much grip and was overpowering the front. Likewise, the reverse configuration could be installed but the risk is understeer.
