Golf Cart Tire Pressure
 
What is the correct air pressure for golf cart tires. I have asked many and have gotten many different answers.

The correct PSI is on the side of your tire. Hard to read sometimes but it's there.

Typically it is the maximum pressure that is listed on the sidewall. You may not want to run that high of a pressure. For example, my 10" Loadstar tires (a popular tire in The Villages) has a maximum pressure of 35 PSI listed on the sidewall. My dealer recommends 25 PSI.

I agree here. I've been told by my service guy to run about 5 pounds less than the recommended pressure shown on the sidewall. It will smooth the ride on the MMPs and streets.

IMO depends on weight of the cart. I run my 10" tires at 18 psi. For smoother ride. I can't remember what maximum pressure allowed for golf courses. (Found village golf course recommendation says not over 28 psi) if you google most have range between 15 to 25 psi. Edited

The Villages "Good Golf Guide" specifies that tires on golf carts must NOT exceed 28 PSI. Also that tires must have a minimum depth of 1/4 inch, and be a minimum width of 8 inches. Wonder if everyone knows and abides by that.

Tech from Carts and Clubs said a man here in TV religiously keeps his cart tires at 25psi and his cart has about 60k miles on it.

Yamaha recommends 18-20 PSI.

tuccillo 09-30-2015 07:42 PM

It depends on the tires. 8" tires will run a lower pressure than 10" tires.

I wonder how anyone would know the mileage on a cart.

tuccillo 09-30-2015 08:26 PM

Mine has an odometer.

How many miles on a golf cart
 
It's called a speedometer!

If you want the tires to last longer than most of us, put 30 lbs in them.
If you want the smoothest ride possible put in 8 to 10 lbs.
if you want a happy medium put between 15 to 25 lbs.

rubicon 10-01-2015 05:36 AM

Carts & Clubs suggests for 8" tires 20-22 psi. for 10" tires 22-28 with their preference for 25 psi.

At 25 psi my carts rides smoothly????????????????????

Most carts don't have a speedometer. Both of ours do but they
were added on after we purchased them.
