When I bought my Yamaha from Carts and Clubs, they told me 18-20 psi. Oh well, I guess it depends on the day of the week.

Maximum pressure will yield the best MPG. I always run the sidewall rating plus 5 psi inflated with Nitrogen. Pressure will not increase or decrease with temperature change.
|
The pressure listed on the sidewall is typically a maximum pressure. It is easy to check; it will say something like "max 35 psi". I don't believe exceeding this figure is a good idea.
Pressure will increase or decrease with temperature regardless of whether you are inflated with 100% nitrogen. Nitrogen will follow the ideal gas law. By the way, "air" is 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, the remaining 1% is small amounts of various other gases. Quote:

It depends on what tires you have. If you have 8" tires then that is probably a good pressure. If you have 10" tires, the "recommended" pressure may be higher. Check the sidewall for the maximum pressure. You want to be below that. Many 8" tires have a maximum pressure of 22 psi. My 10" Loadstars have a maximum pressure of 35 psi and I run them at 25 psi. I would follow the recommendation of your golf cart dealer/mechanic.

Not typically for the tires you see in The Villages. You may be able to find an exception.

That is probably fine. My Loadstars are rated for a load of 910 pounds at 35 psi. Since the cart only weighs about 600 pounds empty (and there are 4 tires) I am not anywhere near the load limit of the tires so a pressure well below the maximum is fine. My dealer recommended 25 psi. I would stick with whatever your dealer recommended.

22psi for 8" tires, 25psi for 10" tires should be just about right under normal conditions.

In the good old days you could ride around in a cart at 18 PSI. Now it's 28 PSI. Talk about inflation!
