When it comes time to replace them, is it better to go through a dealer or do people deal through local tire shops?
One last one, I tested my pressure today and most of my tires were below 15 psi. That seemed lower than what I've researched so I filled them up to 21 psi and the cart seems to accelerate smoother and the ride seems about the same, maybe even better on paths. What range of psi do most people go with. I have a 4 seater Yamaha gas.

I use The Tire Guy, he was in the neighborhood and did not charge me a trip charge to do one tire and did a quick alignment check as well. He would have all your answers as to as to rotating them but did recommend more than the suggested pressure as we drive on more pavement than the tires are designed for. I would think rotating them especially with a 4 seater when you do carry 4 people (more load on the rear) low pressure caused me to wear just one out. I check my tires quarterly (added an recurring appt to my calendar) and add air as needed. I use 25psi.,
I also noticed low air caused me to slide a bit when hitting paint on the roads.
