I made a bunch of PVC sleeves for my motorized drift trikes, like the "Lazier Boy" sofa chair. I cut the extra hard schedule 40 PVC pipe to fit snugly on 4.5" X 5" X 10" go kart tires. I also sell the PVC sleeves for $40 a pair on Etsy.

I put a small strip of grip tape inside the PVC pipe to keep the sleeve from slipping off of the wheel. To install you must completely deflate the tire, slide the PVC over tire, inflate the tire.
