What do you guys suggest to inflate the tires for maximum comfort. Even at the villages golf cart store, three different salesmen suggested three different tire pressure. Thxs Jose
Another endless debate. First of all some people have radial tires, the advice man be different. Reality, the pressure changes with temperature. If it is say 100 the pressure will be several pounds more than it is at say 50. Will you adjust? Most of us will not so
the answer is about that much. I shoot for 22 lbs. Aside, I pump them up with my hand bicycle pump. I do have an electric compressor. By the time I take it out plug it in etc a hand pump is easier. Issue, a hand pump usually has a chuck, the part that fits the stem-where you fill the tire, that is big and designed to lock on. With the fancy wheels etc you may have trouble getting it to lock on. Simple solution, get a valve stem extender a couple of bucks for four of them. Thread it on to one wheel. Pump that tire up un-thread the extender and put it on the next tire. Takes longer to write it out than to do it.
