Warren, what tire did you have on that was found unacceptable? That may clear this up for us. I am imagining tires like you see on monster trucks.

These were normal golf cart tires.
There were a lot of golf carts sold by dealers back when this issue came up that did not meet the new requirements posted by the golf division. The golf division put out a notice in the Daily Sun with the names/brands of the acceptable tires. If you did not have one of those names/brands, you were screwed.
For some reason, you only had to change the front tires. It was said that they would make grooves in the grass because of their construction. I think my brand had a sharper edge than the recommended brands. I had to change the front two tires on my 2002 Club Cart to meet the requirement or I could not use it to play golf.
I honestly do not remember anything about the air pressure requirement.
And yes it as a big deal back then because it cost a lot of us a lot of bucks to get into compliance.
I wondered myself what ever happened to that ruling. I just assumed that all of the cart dealers complied with the tire requirements so the problem would not recur.
