I wouldn't expect to be cited for speeding because I specifically stated the cart can't go any faster - a prior post said I would get a ticket for altering safety equipment. So if you put some of those big wheels on a cart you have made it unstable and therefore altered safety equipment - it is no longer a cart? (BTW, safe tires are specifically mentioned in the state statutes referring to operation of golf carts.)
