If they are getting changed, it has nothing to do with tire size. That Eagle version can be street legal, depending on the configuration purchased, so yes those as well as all brands of street-legal versions can go 25mph, but it is not because of the tire size.

What she is proposing would be difficult to enforce without cart registration. She's probably trying to put what she thinks is simple (after market tire upgrades) and apply it as though everyone who gets one is also not getting the thing recalibrated.

She may also have an agenda--perhaps to force registration of all carts! That wouldn't go over well, so maybe this is a short circuit method to get there. It might also open the district officers to litigation risks as it would exceed Florida law.
