Maximum comfort and still with good wear rate - 22 PSI.

Read your manual. Learn about your cart.

Always good to read the manual but do keep in mind that these golf cart manuals are written for using the carts as 'golf carts". Yes we golf in our carts but 90 percent of the miles we put on our carts is on hard concrete and asphalt going 20+ miles an hour going from point A to point B. We do not really use our carts for what they were designed for most of the time. The average golf cart used for golf as in a Del Webb community may get around 100 hours of use time a year. We here in TV put anywhere from 200-400 hours on our carts a year according to the hour meter on the dash. With all this being said, what you read in the manual as far as maintenance goes you can throw out the window. We need to be maintaining our carts much more often, particularly those of us that keep a cart for many years.

So you're saying I may have over inflated my tires? They seem fine to me... ;)

I recently checked my tires after about two years. They were around 10-11# each. I pumped them all up to 22. Seems fine.

The owners manual says 22psi. The Villages Golf Cars puts 22 in front and 24 in the rear.

But, what if you’re cart been modified and don’t have the 8 inch golf course tires. You can’t read what not there.

So, I guess you have 8” golf cart tires? If you have 10” after market tires 16 or 18 going to wear out back tires fast. No weight on front so front tires will last longer.

Topspinmo 06-06-2021 01:36 PM

More than just the tires are over inflated!:)

Topspinmo 06-06-2021 01:43 PM

I own a generic new Village purchased Yamaha Drive2 Quietech EFI with Road Hawk 205/65 R10 tires with a maximum sidewall tire pressure of 35. What do you guys suggest to inflate the tires for maximum comfort. Even at the villages golf cart store, three different salesmen suggested three different tire pressure. Thxs Jose

Correct tire pressure for tires is engraved on the side of the tire. It'll show maximum and minimum pressure.

Most tires have the suggested pressure on the side
