I total agree for someone who don’t do any pre-maintenance checks or have clue.

For me 35 foot pounds or enough On aluminum mag wheels. I suspect that number for steel wheels. I highly doubt you 2014 came with aftermarket mag wheels?

Can you identify the brand, size, and where you got yours? How long ago? They good for the golf courses? Would certainly like a less bouncy ride.

Action Gator Tire on 466will do and the charge is minimal. Did mine about a month ago.

Anyone have any recommendations on a good cart shop?
Why not check with Discount Golf Carts on Hwy 441/27 (North of Hwy 42), to get a price for doing so. I highly recommend them, and they may even be willing to come to your home to do so since they offer home service too. MSUSam I Am

I always get my tires from them. i used to go to Walmart or The Villages Golf carts but Willie's puts on better tires at a cheaper price and they'll come right to your house.
Willie actually doesn’t do tires- he refers to Andy- The Tire Guy and he does them on site at your house! His number is 352-434-2254.

Willie called Andy to let him know there was a mixup on this post because he has been inundated with calls about it.

I second Willie's. Just started using them (2 times so far) for repairs and yearly maintenance. Both times came to house and took care of business, no problem.

Does Andy- The Tire Guy actually have tires? Or does he just puts on what you buy elsewhere? If he has tires, are they radials?

lake5798 12-14-2021 07:44 PM
yes he has tire and yes he has steel belted radials

metoo21 12-21-2021 02:35 PM
Ok, so we have:
Andy- The Tire Guy 352-434-2254 - Comes to your home to install

Are there any others that sell radial tires and come to your home and install? Or perhaps takes your cart, replaces the tires and brings it back?

Aluminum is softer than steel. The aluminum wheels are subject to scratches etc.
I would expect many places avoid aluminum wheels on golf carts and cars. Many people are not aware of damages to their wheels from hitting curbs etc and once the new tires are mounted will think the shop did it.

Days of old, you would fix a bicycle flat with a steel screw driver. Today, with aluminum wheels you SHOULD use plastic levers.

That is interesting. Who said give me a lever long enough and I will move the world?
They should never be that tight. "Mechanics," should but don't use a torque wrench.
People sometimes get confused as to which way is tightening and which way is loosening. "A breaker bar," perhaps properly named. You can actually break the wheel lugs. In any case you slip a piece of pipe over the breaker bar to extend it and either the nut will come off or you will break the lug.

Or tire just springs with weight on cart on it.

If lugs are so tight on golf cart the whole tire will just spin. Why you need impact to get them off if the are way over tighten. You can have 10 foot extension won’t do no good unless there enough weight on tire to keep whole tire from just turning. At least the rear tire you can have someone stomp on the brakes . The front tire have hardly no weight on them. They spin real easy of way over torqued/hammered in with 1/2 or larger impact gun.
