Default Tire Wear

Frank,

These are the front tires on my 2002 Club Car DS. They were installed last September! Both tires have 30psi. The cart travels straight if you let loose of the steering wheel. This cart is used as a grocery gather and is driven maybe 10/15 miles per week. What could cause such excessive wear?

Two things that relate to your pics of tires, 1- tire pressure for 8" tires is 24-26 lbs. 2- for the use on turf and streets that we use in TV we recommend road worthy DOT tires that can give a good outcome for our use. We only sell DOT tires the turf tires ware to fast on our roadways.

Caster is a directional control angle and camber would ware out the tires inside tread or outside tread. Now when you get a wheel alignment the angle the most of the Time effecting tire ware is toe-in toe out.
To the original post I believe the tires certainly need replacement along with a proper tire pressure and wheel alignment check.
