If you can remove the wheels (with tires), then there are several tire com[panies (like Wildwood tire) that carry golf cart tires and can mount these.
Yes I would rotate the tires.
10 inch or 8 inch? I suspect the manual recommendation was for 8” tires?

Hear what I experienced with 205 x 65 x 10 tires.


When first got my golf cart I had bad back so I let some air out of tires from 25 to 20 on front and 22 on back on my 10 inch tires to give it some cushion when going over street drains. Front didn’t affect tire wear not much weight on front tires compared to rear. On rear ware was pronounced on 1/3 outside of thread within short time year or two. I replaced them and adjusted pressure back to 25 which was sweet spot for my cart for 10 inch tires.
