TIRES:
J&J has lead the concession go-kart industry in this area for many years. In the early stages, small-implement tires
were used. These casings (and sometimes new tires) were “capped” with an extra-thick layer of tread to increase life.
J&J was the
fi
rst to design a new, purely concession go-kart tire by working with a large manufacturer and buying in bulk.
The J&J Bigfoot tire was introduced to provide a new tire with extra-thick tread, while maintaining overall diameter in order
to accommodate gearing and clearances for existing go-karts.
TUBES:
J&J was the
fi
rst to o
ff
er tire and tube combo packs; with a tube speci
fi
c to the Bigfoot tire, it made sense to do so.
J&J moved the angle and location of the valve stem to better
fi
t the needs of concession go-karts.
RIMS:
The current rim design features a special and unique-to-J&J locking-style lug nut and serrated rim for better bead
grip.
Use this specially made,
thin-walled socket on go
karts equipped with the
Disc-lock safety wheel
nut.
