On my cart, a 2021 Yamaha 2-seater, I noticed the front tires wearing faster than the rears (simple depth gauge measurement). I rotated the tires myself, and it is an easy job...about 45 minutes.

Since it is only the front tires that turn when driving a cart, whereas the back tires just follow in the front tires track, you would think the front tires would wear much faster due to the friction involved and making a turn.

On the newer Yamahas, as already pointed out, there can be what appears to be some significant negative camber, which may lead to increased wear on the inside of the front tires. The toe adjustment can also be off.

Tire Choice at Colony. Quick and easy...no charge.

Tire pressure should be the problem.

Just curious, when rotating tires on a golf cart do you do the cross over pattern or just front to back on the same side?

[biker1]

For the Loadstars, they are non-directional tires so I bring the fronts straight back and cross the rears over to front. If you have directional tires (and I don’t know if there is such a thing for golf cart tires), you would rotate back to front on the same side (unless you wanted to remount the tires).

We have used Willies, but they NO LONGER do tires, but great for all others. We have a Yamaha.

We used Andy Robinson "The Tire Guy" yesterday for a replacement tire and he also rotated them, did all air and ckd tires - he also replaced a stem he found out of place all for the same service fee. Mobile and he was great!

He also told us that the tires will look like full, but they need to be ckecked as well because they will not show they need air.

I have a Yamaha 2012 Electric YRDE. It has eight inch tires. First thing I did was buy a spare, I believe I got it on Amazon. If I had a flat, my wife would drive it up to me. Also, when one of the tires starts wearing, I replace it with the spare. When another tire starts to wear down to a thread, I take both of them to Wildwood Tire Company and have them replaced for $97 each. I've had the cart for seven years and this system seems to work. If things go sideways, then I call in The Tire Guy.

You should be able to 8” pull off tires cheap including rims cause most want 10”. I’ve seen set of 4 on rims for price of your one new tire.

With proper care 20k miles plus is not an issue, with no need to rotate. If you have tires wearing it will be obvious what the issue is.

You are paying too much for the 10-inch Loadstar tires. The Villages Golf Cars stores install those tires for $80 per tires total. Just had ours done. Best price in TV

What would be a reasonable tip to pay for having two tires replaced on my golf cart that I bought from eBay

Be sure you have an agreed upon price. I no longer trust them.
