I can get 10 inch wheels with 205/65-10 tires or 12 inch wheels with 215/50-12, cost is similar.
The 215/50-12 tires are low profile but not extremely low profile
Just wondering what the experts here have to say on ride quality, steering etc for the two options.
I asked Villages Golf Carts and Carts and Clubs the same question and they both said they don't like putting 12 inch wheels on because of balancing problems. Wondering if this is BS as I see a lot of 12 inch wheels on carts here.
PS will be selling the brand new 10 inch wheels and tires that come with the cart

I bought a new 2014 Yamaha from Carts & Clubs with the optional 12" wheels. C&C indicated that the ride may be a little harsher, but hadn't heard anything about balancing issues. I like the looks and haven't had an issue with a harsher ride when I compare mine to my golfing buddies carts with the 10" wheels. These wheels don't stick out as far as the 10" of the same design. No issue with balancing. The retailer told me they send them out with 25 psi (nitrogen) in the tires. I would buy them again if I were to purchase a new cart.
