The statement that "tires are the new oil change" resonates with the industry, particularly due to the weight of EVs' batteries. EVs often weigh significantly more than their internal-combustion-engine counterparts, making regular tire rotations crucial.

Does it factor in lithium golf cars also?
Are the lithium battery carts tires different?
I have four 12v 100ah LiFePO4 lithium batteries in my cart and it is so light I can almost lift the front end by myself. I don't see how a Lithium Ion powered cart could ever weigh as much as a gas cart. Golf carts do not require the massive battery array that cars do necessary to propel a full size vehicle at high speeds and still have decent range. My total battery weight is just over 100 pounds. As for your cart tire question, my cart is running the small Kenda Hole-N-1 tires on little 8 inch rims and they are fine.
