Distorted tyres.

Have a look at the rear tyre on the engine side of my daughters kart. Can anyone explain what is happening and why. The photo was taken in April and presures are 11 psi. I have other photos with similar distortion but not as extreme as this. We had hadling problems all year.

You'll need to change the file type to a .jpg, then crop it to no more than 400x400 pixels, click on "post reply" at the bottom of the page, rather than typing in the box at the bottom of the thread, and choose the "attach file" option

Since I can't see the picture, I'll have to assume that the distortion you speak of is later from cornering loads. ALL tires will distort laterally under cornering loads, with the amount determined by the tire spring rate at that particular psi.
