Also got some red "personality plug cables" off Amazon the are supposed to increased my cart's top speed. Not sure I notice a huge difference but they were only $12 or $13.
The wheels and tires made a nice difference in speed though.

I was told by The Villages Golf Cart dealer at Colony that the Yamaha electric carts would not go faster than 20 mph even with the larger tires. However.....the EZ Go carts would go 2mph faster with the larger tires. I still don't understand why that is.
The reason I decided on the Yamaha electric cart rather than the EZ Go is because Yamaha offered the self canceling directionals and high beams on an upgraded steering wheel and that was not available on the EZ Go. I also wanted a one piece windshield as I don't play golf and that was not available on the EZ Go. I decided to go with 2mph less to have those other options that were more important to me.
