If you want to turn your go-kart into a drifter, our 11x7.10-5 PVC plastic tire sleeve for drift trikes and go-karts will make your slick tires even slicker and slippier. Made from hard PVC, the replacement plastic sleeve was designed to limit the amount of rear tire traction and provide your ride with a faster drift effect. Slick tires in the 11x7.10-5 size have been used on such go-kart brands such as Sodikarts, Stratos, and Remo.
Unlike some drift sleeves that are slick both inside and out, this version sports a series of radial ridges on the inside face of the sleeve to provide a superior grip on the tire's rubber. This prevents the sleeve from accidentally slipping or spinning off if the tire pressure is too low.
Note A: If these sleeves are installed on drifting carts or scooters, then due to the wheels being subjected to additional forces other than just rolling forward, these sleeves will wear down at faster rates. The rougher the terrain, the faster the wear.
Note B: These hard PVC drift sleeves are made to fit tightly onto the tire. In order to mount easily, you should let some of the air out, then lubricate the tire with soap suds before pressing the sleeve onto the rubber. The pressing may be easier with a wood or rubber mallet. When the sleeve is in its correct position, just refill the tire with the correct air pressure. In addition, the PVC sleeve may adhere to the rubber tire better by using several strips of self-adhesive grip tape (such as used on skateboard decks) on the sleeve's inner face.
In addition, we offer a set of two
11x7.10-5 PVC Plastic Tire Sleeves.
