Default Radial tires on golf cart?

Will need two new 205/65 10 rear tires on our Tomberlin cart soon. Never pleased with the bias ply cart tires. Seem to be slightly bumpy until warm which in the winter can take some time.
In prep, I’m considering radial tires. In checking Amazon I see good Fusion steelbelted radials for $82 ea. Standard bias are about $63 ea.
Recommendations? Anyone have experience getting cart radials at a local tire store? Appreciate input. Thx

Rear tires worn? Reason the rear carries the most weight also brakes are on the rear wheels. If, you hit the brakes hard and skid it is the rear tires that take that wear.

I would rotate the tires front to back. If, I recall they do not recommend mixing bias ply and radials. If, you must, I think they tell you to put the bias ply on the front. Radials with higher traction will cause bias ply in the rear to loose traction and allow the car/cart to spin out.

The Tire Guy - Andy (352)434-2254 can set you up with radials. They do ride smoother and you can set PSI lower (I run mine at 15 PSI) without uneven wear.
