Adjusting your pressure may help with the problem. Some people over-inflate incorrectly thinking better fuel economy will result. Unless you're running significantly low pressures that is incorrect. Also, the official policy regarding golf cart use on Villages courses states "pressure must not exceed 28 PSI" for obvious reasons. 22-26 PSI is also a quieter, smoother ride on the pavement. You may only need a $5.00 tire gauge?

This works for me. I don't like my tires blown up so high. I adjust mine to 18 in front and 16 in the rear. I brought my cart used (4K miles) and the previous owner had the tires at 28 PSI plus and on the rear I could see center wear. I have bad back and need some cushion from the tires when going over speed bumps and street side drains. It helps I don't get the Thud that sends shock up my spine. I don't need lot of tire pressure due to cart not carrying heavy load.
