14" SS Wheels and Low Profile Tires Ride Rough
These seem to ride rough and wobble.
I had TV Golf Cars check and they said everything was normal on this new in Sept. 2013 Yamaha EFI. Anyone experiencing the same either on 10" or the 14" like mine? |

I would think that these wheel should be put on a tire balance machine, if you can find someone with a Hunter 9700 unit they are great.
A lot of Firestone dealers have those. |
Low profile tires have a smaller and stiffer side wall than a regular size tire this contributes to the rougher ride.

What about wobble/ shimmy?

If it is a wobble/shimmy I think it has to be the tires. Assuming they are belted I don't think you are ever going to be happy with a low profile tire. Ask the dealer how they are shipped. After what I have been through I would have radials if they made them in 12 inch, which they don't. Golf cars are designed to be driven 8 mph on a golf course, not 25 mph on a poorly paved road. Thats the story I kept getting at my dealer. I was not and am not happy but I have spoken to a ton of people in the villages about tires and a lot of people are in the same boat. It is very disappointing to pay that much money and have a car that shakes and jumps going down the road.

These are the Endura Excel 205/30/14 4PR's
I would guess they are belted and not radial. I had someone follow mw and he said he saw no wobble. Villages Golf Cart's service said that's just how golf carts ride. No vibration in the steering column just wobble you feel. |
Get the salesman to let you take one for a drive that does not have 14 inch low profile tires on it. Yamaha does not make a golf car that wobbles. It is the tires and if he will not admit it, talk to the service manager. They know that the tires are a problem, especially low profiles. When I was ordering my car they specifically told me not to get low profiles because of the ride. If the salesman dosent know that, he must be new on the job.
