[QUOTE=zcaveman;717215]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 groves 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.
It is easy to know that certain posters live in the realm of apathy.I love to deal with apathetic people, no matter what you do to them they just roll over and accept what comes their way. It was a dumb decision by someone within the golf division. When this program was introduced to the Villages residents I don't believe any other golf courses in our area had the same goofy tire rules. SAnd yes, it did cost a lot of people considerable money to meet the acceptable tire rules. Also the tire pressure was a new rule. I know for a fact that every starter shack was equipped with tire gauges which was used to acually check golf cart tire pressures. I was one of the employees who did just that. As I recall there was no actual research or evidence that certain tires damaged the golf courses. It was a pipe dream conjured up by someone in the golf division managment.
