The problem with the proper PSI for golf carts is that they have more than one use. If someone doesn’t golf, and drives their cart exclusively on pavement, then 35 PSI would be the way to go. If one uses their cart exclusively for golf and drives mostly on turf, the low 20’s would be more appropriate. Many Villagers compromise for the different uses by airing up to 28 - 30 PSI. My ATV that I ride up north in the woods over rocks and through mud and snow is optimal with 3.5 PSI for that type of terrain. It is recommended that cars up north run during the spring, summer, and fall at or near the maximum rated PSI for the tires, but that the PSI is dropped to about 22 - 24 when driving in snow during the winter for better traction. When I air down the tires on my truck and put it in 4WD to oversand (drive on the soft sand beaches) at Race Point in Cape Cod, I go to 11 PSI. They have air compressors at the exit point so people can fill their tires back up before hitting the road. The point is, optimal tire PSI depends on what conditions the vehicle is navigating. There is no “one size fits all”.
