All but one of mine have small lead weights on them, so the technician put them on for some reason.

Since it was included at no extra cost, at a very reasonable price...I'm satisfied.

Cause the don't go over 20 MPH? They didn't do it for free, charge was in price.

Incorrect.

I just called regarding this exact tire size (only one brand available)...feel free to verify. (352) 751-5150.

Tire.........................= $44.26
Dismounting/Mounting = $9.50

TOTAL = $53.76

The guy on the phone said that the determination on whether it needs balancing (weights) is made by the technician (explaining why one of mine didn't have a lead weight on it)...and is included in the mounting price.

I also found my old receipt and the tires I bought (same size/upgraded brand) were actually $62.52 each and the dismount/mount total came to the same $9.50 per tire....plus $1.00 ea. disposal fee. :ho:

I order all my golf cart tires from the Golf Cart Tire Supply.com. Have purchased 3 full sets of wheels and tires in the past 4 years from them.

They carry some good 205/65-10 tire options: 205/65-10 Golf Cart Tires | Golf Cart Tire Supply

Great people on the phone too!

I'm guessing that the tire brand(s) Walmart and Sam's sells are the same?

Since I'm not familiar with Walmart having an auto repair center, do they dismount old and mount the new tires or do you buy just the tires...and then have to go somewhere else to get them put on?

I noticed yesterday that one of the back tires on the cart is flat. I was going to plug it, but observed that both are pretty slick and should be replaced.

Years ago I used The Villages shop out on Rolling Acres for this kind of stuff, but could not find them.

I would bring the wheels to the service person. Any suggestions for who would remove old tires and replace with new on my rims?

Thanks

Needed two 205-65-10 tires. Went to Pep Boys in Mulberry where they installed them on steel rims (their own) and was out of there in less than 10 minutes. Total cost with tax was $140. I didn't check about using my old steel rims figuring who cares, why waste the time.

Yes, Walmart in oxford does and they do good job IMO. I had tires on my car replaced in and out quickly and they torqued the lug nuts. I alway check them cause some shops hammer them on with impact gun and sometimes so tight hard to get broke loose even with breaker bar and extension. On the road if I have flat make sure I can get the lug nuts broke loose. Most vehicles lugs torque to around 85 to 95 foot pounds.

Update: I checked out Walmart in oxford for 10 inch golf cart tires, they don't install golf cart tires on aluminum mag wheels. The employee said there tire machine breaks the small aluminum rims.
