People will always defend the choice they've made.
We did not make a choice. We have what was originally supplied by the dealer and they are 10 inch loadstar bias ply. Our gold cart is five years old, we used it quite a bit and are twelve monthers. Our tires are about half or less worn so far as wear-I project a ten year life.
Ride? Handling? It is not a sports car. The ride changes dramatically depending on tire pressure and the weight of the people in it.
By design a radial tire has more sidewall and less tread flexing.
Everything has pluses and minuses. With thinner sidewalls a radial is more likely to be damaged if you hit a curb. Riding on a flat is more likely to destroy the tire. Based on experience with a sports car with wire wheels, the flexing of the side walls in a radial tire makes it a problem to use tubes. Aside-real spoke
(wire wheels) are not or were not compatible with tubeless tires
