I've also used Andy...very pleased. Bought my club car tires on line and Andy installed them for me. Golf Cart Parts & Accessories | Jason's Golf Carts .... Andy also took care of my front suspension... big difference in the ride.

I used The Tire Guy back in 10/2022. He came over and replaced one 8-inch tire on my golf cart for $115. I believe he said that he charges $90 to show up. Not sure if it depends on distance. One is better off buying all four tires from him IMO.

On 7/2022 I uninstalled and took one 8-inch tire to Wildwood Tire Company. They charged $85 for one tire (includes tax and mounting).

Took them one 8-inch tire last year to be mounted. I bought the tire online. I called ahead and they said they would do it. After waiting about an hour, they told me their 8-inch mounter was broken.

Not surprised many of us have aluminum wheels (rims) and 10 inch tires. They cost more than steel wheels with 8 inch tires. When to change them? We are here here full time and use our golf cart a fair amount, what ever that means. Our tires are not yet worn to the wear indicators..

That $90 to show up is sort of normal. If, you call a plumber or electrician or say AC service they will charge you about 80-100 to show up. I was hoping someone would post how they jacked up the cart. I do not have a floor jack. I do have jack stands and I am sure I have a socket that will fit it. Easy enough to do one end and then the other.

Good luck Ask him if he could mount one of your replaced tire on a plain rim as a spare he did it for me and charged me for the rim.
That seems to be a good idea but do you have it with you along with a wrench and a jack?
With all the construction around here frankly I've had more flats on my car, golf cart and bike than in my pre-villages life.

Type error? First number is the wheel size. Typically 8 or 10 inches. I don't think 18 inch wheels will fit most golf carts.

That's Boulevard Tire, been going to them for 20 years, long before we retired and moved into the Villages. The most honest family you can find around here, I agree ! No, LOL, not related and not related to anyone who works there...LOL !
