Yes!!!!!!!
The tire height difference between the 2 is it.
They are both Kenda Dominators I got from BMI already mounted on the rims.
When they showed up I noticed a difference right out of the box. One is shorter and wider by 1/2", the other is narrower and almost 1 1/2" taller than the other. If you put 2 different sized tires on a solid axle, the kart automatically wants to turn in a semi-circle.
Funny thing is they never gave me a problem for a long time. Apparently once they started to wear this all changed.
I had swapped the front tires from side to side numerous times, but I never swapped the rears...... So I've been chasing my tail for months because of something so simple.
Now that the stock rears are back on she tracks nice and straight, not quite as fast top speed wise, but they're only temp. until my new tires show up.
Thanks again guys for your tips and suggestions.
Oh, and X, yeah it was the camera angle that makes it look like the right was almost rubbing.
