Has anyone tried the larger tires and is it worth the additonal cost?

I bought an EZGO RXV gas in September that was equipped with 205/50/10 tires. I wanted to replace them with "65's" because the increased height would give me more speed at slower engine RPMs. I checked with several Cart dealers to see if I could trade my almost new 50's for 65's. They all said that my old tires were worthless but they would gladly install new 65's on my rims for around $250.00.
I then called Lady Lake Quality Tire on 466 and their service manager, Vaughn, said he would take my old tires in trade and charge me $50 total for 4 new 65's. The price included mounting them on my rims. So, for $12.50 each I now have 205/65/10 tires on my cart. The 65's he sold me are Villages Golf Course approved.
