I run my golf car tires at 20 psi, rather than 24 or 28 as some others do, precisely for a softer ride. I suppose I get a few less miles per gallon, but it's an easy tradeoff for me.

You can use the low profile tires on the executive courses, if you only drive on the path. The complete set of rules is on the '"golfthevillages.com" website, including a list of approved tires.

No I don’t.

Out new car has 22” low profile tires. It handles better but the ride on “bumpy” roads is not as cushy. The more “side wall” your tire has the better softer the ride will be so it’s a trade off.

Hey Fred! Wanna go for a ride?

Everybody has an opinion, it always amazes me how some people think of theirs as the quantitative correct answer with no doubt whatsoever.
The low profile tire can be used on golf courses, yes it is a slightly tougher ride but it also is much more stable as it has dramatically less sidewall. This sidewall flexes and moves so it can cause sway and drift which barely exist with the LP tire.
The appearance of the cart is much better as the wheels are more pronounced.
In summary, the right is not as soft, but not bad, tge aesthetics and the handling are dramatically improved.

I don’t know about low profile tires, but I can tell you for sure that radial tires provide a much softer ride than the standard tires on golf carts. I’ll never have anything other than radials.

Can’t speak for golf carts but I had them on my Fusion Sport & they were terrible riding & if they got a little low & you didn’t know it, well they would fly apart & the were expensive to replace. So why would you buy them? I’ll never have them again. Sorry I wasn’t much help but I have no idea how they would preform on a cart, other than don’t waste your money!

If you have 65 series tires they will wear out very quickly at 20 on rear. Yes, I know cause I wore mine out in year and half.

Very rough you feel every bump in the road

Radials are an upgrade at a considerable higher price per tire.

I have a 2009 yamaha with low profile tires and it has a harsh ride. The tire size is 205 30 12. I would like to mount new tires with taller sidewall. The current tires are 18.5 inches tall. I would like to put on 215 50 12 which are 20.5 inches tall. I don't have a lift kit on so I'm not sure if they will scrape the rear fenderwell being 2'' taller. Has anyone done this succesfully?
