How do you find the right size for sled tires?
You can find the right size for sled tires by considering your height, weight, and age. Children up to about 8 years old are fine with a diameter of 70–80 cm, while teenagers and adults should opt for 100–120 cm to ensure sufficient space and stability. The maximum load capacity should also match your body weight.
Are sled tires that are too small dangerous?
Sled tires that are too small can be dangerous because they offer less buoyancy, are more unstable, and tip over more easily at higher speeds. In addition, taller people lack the necessary seating space, which can lead to uncontrolled sliding or falling—especially on hard or uneven surfaces.
Can adults also use sled tires?
Yes, adults can also use sled tires – provided the model is large enough and designed for the appropriate weight. Many models measuring 110 cm or more offer enough space and stability for a safe ride. High-quality materials and sturdy handles are important.
