How many miles/years out of a set of tires?
 
Anyone have a ballpark idea of the mileage expectation of golf cart tires?

It's all over the board..........

My wife's New Avalon lasted 30,000 miles. Seems like OME tires don't last as long.

My last four SUV's.............80,000 to 95,000 miles.

Also depends on care (alignment, pressure, etc.) and hiway vs. city driving.

Conservative: take 80% of the tire rating.

A lot depends on if you keep the tires properly inflated and the golf cart properly aligned, inflation appears to be the most important one.

Sure, I understand.
weight speeds temperatures etc.
But, ball park, like 5k? 10k miles?

No idea, our cart does not have an odometer.

We have 15k on ours, should last at least another 10k.

Not sure why you are asking

Our golf cart is five years old, we are here full time and use the golf cart regularly. While we don't have an odometer, a wild guess we use about 4 gal of gas in our cart per month.
A guess 40 mpg so 160 miles a month so aprox 2,000 miles a year.

We have the original dealer tires and they are about half worn. We have ten inch tires. I seem to recall reading somewhere that the ten inch tires last far longer on the road as the rubber is harder as well as fewer revolutions per mile.

I have a 2015 Yamaha gas cart. I have about 300 hours on mine and I need new tires pretty soon. I do not have an odometer. If I am averaging 10mph, then I have 3000 miles on mine.

Seems a little early for tires.

They are 10" and the usual brand.

I wonder if the tires are all that similar and if they actually get made of different compounds from one year to the next.

:) Just sold a 2015 with over 20,000 miles and almost 1200 hours. Still had original tires in good (not great) shape. Preventative Maintenance is the trick.

TechGC 12-02-2018 06:11 PM

As stated, the tires can last 20k plus miles. Proper air pressure and alignment is the key

My 10” Loadstar tires have 15k miles and may go another 10k miles.

It also depends on yore driving habits. IMO once the tires get about half worn or more they loose there grip when payment wet and some start thumping. Then there dry rot in about 5 years.
