I see your buying on line for the 205 65-10 Loadstar tires. Did you find better pricing with shipping than what you can find locally? Will be following this as I need new tires now.

My two cents worth for free
Buying tires mail order, do your really save money? Today you will still pay tax. Now your get the tires having paid shipping. You need to have the tools to jack up your golf cart perhaps put it on jack stands to take the wheels to a shop. They will charge you like $10 a tire to mount it. If, you discover the tires you bought are defective-out of round, you need to pay twice more once to remove the tire and once to remount it. The people mounting the tire are not responsible for you having bought a defective tire.

As to tires, long life etc. Our golf cart is 9 years old. We use it a fair amount and are here full time. We still have the original tires on it they are 10 inch loadstar and they are roughly half worn. Your golf cart is a low speed vehicle. Unlike your car it is not subject to hydroplaning. Your golfcart is not a sportscar, it handles about like a brick. The useful life of a golf cart is about 20 years. Does it pay to put tires on a golf cart that is 10 years old that are good for 50,000 miles? Neither I or my golf cart will last 50,000 miles.

To get good mileage out of golf cart tires you need to keep the tires properly inflated.
As it gets cold, you will likely need to add more air. Proper pressure is like 22lbs.
If, you do stuff like hop curbs with it you can knock it out of alignment and that will wear out the tires.

The smaller tires ? 8 inch turn more and will not last as long as the 10 inch tires.

My golf cart repair service told me of a new business that comes to your home in his mobile unit. Mounts new tires at your home, very reasonable. Not sure of the name but will post it when I find it. This service carries all the necessary tire mounting equipment in his mobile unit.

You can save it you mount them yourself, the problem cast aluminum wheels have thick bead rim which make the tire almost impossible to get off by hand. It can be done, but only for the extremely talented. On the other hand steel wheel rims has thin bead rim which makes it much easier. So, 99,99 % has to have the rim mounted by tire shop with they can do in few minutes.
