Golf Cart Tires?
 
Looks like it's time to get new golf cart tires. Would appreciate any recommendations.

Sam's club.

They even balance them.

The only drawback is that you have to take them off and take them to the store, but a deep-well socket/breaker bar and a lightweight floor jack with stands (comes with its own plastic case) from Walmart...solves that problem.

Plus, the jack and stands comes in handy for a lot of other maintenance/inspection things...one should do with their carts.

You want to look at what you have. Size will be marked on the side of the tire. Most likely 8 or 10 inch. Are the rims in good shape? Do you plan on using the same rims?

If, you have alloy rims you want to be sure whoever will mount the new tires will have the proper equipment.

My OPINION. If, you've worn out a set of tires, I will guess your golf cart is over five years old. Our cart is six years old we use it quite a bit and are full time. Our tires,10 inch, are about half worn. Buying stuff like radials etc does not make sense to me.
You will likely not have the cart long enough to wear out a new set of tires.

Something else to think about depending on the age/miles of your ride, is having someone inspect your entire cart...for things like worn bushings/brake shoes/etc.

Especially the bushings on the front suspension...which can quickly wear even brand new tires.

And while changing bushings CAN be done with a floor jack/jack stands, getting the rear leaf springs lined back up after removing the old bushings...can become very frustrating. :censored:

I recommend Todd Casey (352) 256-2068 for any of this type of work...and he will do it at your house. :thumbup:
