Not part of this problem but I see alot of tires on golf carts that are rounded rather than flat across the tread. This is caused from driving on low pressure tires. These golf cart tires will not look low but can have less than half of the reccomended tire pressure and look ok. After you inflate the tires to correct tire pressure you will be suprised how much faster your cart will go as the cart will roll much easier.

Good advice. I have been doing as you suggest over inflating the tires when I store my vehicles for years. I have two carts and a Caddy I store for up to 6 months in Villages for 5 years now. When I get back in the spring I bring the air pressure down to normal and I have not had any problems.
In fact the Caddy which is 10 years old I believe still has the original tires with around 80K miles. The tires are good but the rest of the car is junk.
Never again will I get a Caddy.
