Possibly you rode in a cart with 14 inch wheels or maybe it was lifted.
If the actual diameter will be the same, are looks the reason you are even considering the 12" low profile tires?

One thing for sure, the 12" low profile can't help but have less sidewall...i.e. 'cushioning.'

This may or may not be a big deal for you, but given the choice and knowing how much time I spend in my cart going over a plethora of bumps (all kinds)...I personally would definitely go for the smoother riding 10" tires.

Have you had a chance to drive the same cart with each type of tire...to see if you can tell the difference?

Regardless of which way you go, here's hoping it meets your expectations.
