Air Pressure For Tires What Is Right?

A good starting point is 16lbs. Check your tire manufacturing ratings. Many manufacturers have a rating from 11lbs-23lbs. The lower the tire pressure the more contact patch area you have and the more grip, however to low and the man handling needed to drive the kart becomes a challenge. If your getting a big increase in tire pressure from the amount of heat generated you maybe off on your initial setting. You'll need to see what feels right for you. Once you have a baseline you won't vary much from track to track.
