Default Front Tires Blew Out

One thing about the cart that bothers me is that the front tires are noticeably bowed out (wider at the base than the top). Is anyone else aware of this and know the reason for the design? Is this for better handling? I am concerned this design will lead to premature tire wear and necessitate frequent tire rotations? Has anyone tried to fix this with either an alignment or other front end modifications? Curious minds want to know? Please, I don’t want to hear that I should have purchased an electric cart!
We have a Yamaha Quiet Tech about 5 years old and both front tires blew out from excessive wear on the inside. within 6 months of each other in the past year. ( we are here 4mo/yr). Required 2 new tires and calls made to Carts and Clubs and elsewhere were answered with, a shrug and “it sometimes happens”. Something ain’t right but they don’t want to admit it apparently.
