My 2012 1/2 Yamaha has around 12,000 miles. I had back issue and deflated the air pressure to 14 to 16 lbs. on the back to easy the jarring. It worn the outside tread in about 5,000 miles. The front tires I keep at 25/26 and the are worn evenly with about 1/2 tread worn.

I replaced Back tires and ran 26 psi and have 6,000 miles on them and show hardly any wear. In 12K miles I have replaced 1 tie rod (I re-aligned the front end myself using marker and tape measure) two tires, air filter and spark plug twice, battery, just replaced the drive belt and starter generator belt, and changed oil at least every 6 months. It runs and rides like new still. I had club car before, front ends are weak And wear out, not really made heavy duty to be driving on asphalt and concrete at 20 MPH. so far the Yamaha way ahead of club cars IMO for street use.

I check my tire pressure every 4 weeks or so. It’s always down. 1 to 4 psi depending on high or low the weather temperature goes up or down in that month. If you don’t check you’re tires pressure it going to to be low in 4 to 6 weeks and go lower if left unchecked. Which will cause you’re tires to wear on the outside edges. If you over inflate them they I’ll wear in the middle.

IMO majority of cart driver’s just get in and go have little knowledge how to maintain cart. If you depend on servicing one year to maintain you’re cart you will have problem’s IMO.
