I was informed by a very knowledgeable mechanic that the 22 PSI number has been universally recommended by Yamaha since long before carts were used primarily on pavement. He told me that 22 PSI is ideal for golf course use when the cart is driven on turf or at lower speeds on a cart path. He recommended 30 PSI for Villages use where the carts have high speed gears and are primarily driven on pavement. He said ideally, 28 - 30 in the front tires and 32 - 34 in the rear. I keep our carts at 30 all the way around.
