25 PSI 5000 Miles in two years they look like the day I bought the Cart. I check the pressure every Monday just like the Car. Better safe than sorry!

Your answer is at least 20,000 your results may vary.

So many variables that an answer is really a guess. However, I will guess that all things being equal, figure about 8-9 years.

13,000 on my 4 seat Yamaha. Wearing well. Maintain 32 lbs. all around. I should get 25,000+ miles.

I park on carpet and keep the tires treated.

2013 Gas Yamaha w/20K miles. Replaced them at approx. 17k miles after a flat that that when repaired continued to leak (hole was too big for the plug.) They were worn thin in the center. I run 32 to 35 lbs.

I saw that and got a kick out of it. I got 40K out of my last three New Fords. Flex, Escape, Transit Disconnected, what a Bomb. All of them had Hankook Tires. N.G. Changed to Michelin Or Goodyears. Big deal if a post is a little off the mark. Who's perfect?

Just a guess. About 5 years old and maybe 18,000 miles and might get another 5 years???.
As noted air pressure is important. If low the inside or outside edge of the tire will wear rather fast. If wear is even and the tire still has some tread I would think you are ok. Maybe on a heavy rain day try some fast stops in a safe area and see how the tires perform.

Good advise.

Assuming you had 10” Loadstar tires, they may have been wearing thin in the center because of over inflation. I run 26-28 lbs in my tires and the wear is pretty even.
