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.

Cool weather tire looses pressure, warmer weather not as fast. As tires heat up pressure rises. Not to important on golf cars cause the speed and weight don't heat up tires like vehicle going 70 plus on hot day. Regardless tire pressure should be checked once month, good time to check oil in gas cart, otherwise the Big Bang could bring cart to screeching halt?
I got 8k plus miles on my cart, the front tire are verily worn, the back tire are 1/2 gone. Th back tire take most of the weight and momentum starts, stops, acceleration, and corners. IMO they wear much faster.
