Default Steel belted golf cart tires???

Needing to replace tires on cart. Currently has Road Hawk 205/65/10 steel belted tires. Shopping around finding that steel belted does not seem to be the norm. Bias ply seems to be what retailers sell and what Villages Carts use now. From what I have read, steel belted gives a much smoother ride (especially since the vast majority of my driving is on asphalt surface). My cart rides very smooth but not much to compare it too so could be others ride just as smooth. Curious as to any experiences between radial and non radial tires on carts.

Stick with steel belted tires. The Bias Ply is a much rougher ride, and you also get wash boarding from the cart sitting. That is a flat spot until the cart tires warm-up.

I have switched to the Kenda Kruizers radial tires - absolutely fantastic ride! You can buy them online, and Pep Boys will install for $10/tire.
