Evening

I have just purchased my second buggy

Not sure if body kit yet but main question is tyres
I have slot mag wheels fitted front and back
Front tyres are shot - 175 70 14
Anyone any suggestions for what size is best?
I was planning on just putting same back on but they do look very narrow

Thanks rob

What size rims do you have? Mine are 14x6 fronts and I use 195/60x14 tyres which give roughly the right rolling circumference compared to the standard size, so the speedo is correct. !95/65x14 would be good too if you can find them.
Who needs prozac when you can drive a buggy?

Stupid question - do they have just valves or inner tubes ?

Valves as tyres are tubeless these days, if you have the mischance to have a porous alloy rim poweder coating of painting will probaly seal it.
Tubes are best avoided as deflation is instant and modern tyres are rough inside and  that can cause chaffing and holes in the tubes.
