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.
One thing you learn about dealers, whether they deal in cars or carts, taking anything to them for non-warranty work is the same as bending over and taking it up...you know! Walmart has golf cart tires & I would bet you could buy and get them mounted for less than these local golf cart repair guys. They will stick it to you also.

I have the little 8" tires & inflate them at 25 pounds. Anymore than that and the ride is too rough, plus the small tires ride rougher anyway. I just don't feel like the hassle of raising my cart & then the expense of the larger wheels & tires. I never rotate & run them until they are bald.
