Default Golf cart tire bounce

Dad's 2013 EZGO cart has been sitting on a rug in the garage for several months. I took it for a test ride yesterday. 1 or more tires have a bad flat spot. Several miles and they still shake the you know what out of you. He will be back this week and he will be very sad about the ride. Any suggestions or do we need new tires? Where to go for tires?

all air filled tires do this, after you drive 5-6 miles and the tires warm up ,the tires will go back to being round.

EZ Go Gas is 18 - 22 PSI.

Electric are higher - probably due to the batteries weight.

I, and several others on this forum, have had a bad experience with Tire Choice. I, personally, will not go back to them.

On the other hand I have had excellent experiences with Battery Boys. I don't hesitate to recommend them if you need tires or batteries.

Check the side wall of the tire for proper air inflation, it could be as high as 35 psi. Full the tires first, then take it for a drive. Should be ok after a short trip

What did they do that you didn't like?

(I just got two new front tires and rims at 441 Wally World - they seem to be doing fine. The old ones were mostly bald and slid all over the road)
