I did some testing for tread wear using tire chalk. On a 1000 lbs cart, perfect even wear was at 22 PSI back and 20 PSI front.
I would expect most villagers do not know when the last time was they checked their tire pressure-or where it should be.

As to change in ride and handeling. I wonder how you compare or what you compare it to.

I would expect the weight of a gas golf cart is more in the rear due to the engine. But, put a couple of .........pounders in the front and the weight distribution will of course change.

As to tire wear-we use our golf cart quite a bit. Our cart is now four years old with original 10 inch bias ply tires on it and they are at most half worn. If, yours is wearing faster perhaps, you should have the alignment checked and/or worn parts.

FOR ALL- your tire pressure goes down dramatically as the weather gets warmer or now colder. Probably a good time to check it in the,"winter." I use a quality hand bicycle pump-a floor pump-new they are like $20.00.
