Default Put 13” trailer wheels on cart

Our cart paths are rough, these tires
ride much better.
Fit seems ok.
.....
Old tires were 17-1/2” tall
These are 20-1/2... should
gain some speed too
.....
Think they’re
Gonna need a paint job,

Whatever works for you.

The only caution I would have is watch those trailer tires closely. I have heard stories of true "trailer tires" not holding up being used for purposes other than trailering (going straight ahead). Have heard they will come apart.

They won't give you anything close to the traction you had before. Even if you're doing all "pavement" driving be aware it will slide/spin/etc with any water, oil, loose gravel or sand. On grass it could be even worse. Much narrower than the previous (or even the original) tires.

Old tires : Goodyear eagles, very hard tire & rough ride
could chirp on take off ...Slide when brake

These are a softer compound: ride & brake better
Tires are 13” car tires,
Pretty flat golf course, 90°
rule, mostly on a rough concrete
path...
Way more comfortable ride
No chirp on take off :(
20MPH + now :)
...

Those are not trailer service tires so should work fine and probably provide better grip and last as long or longer than cart tires.

Put some round headlights on the cart and you can have kind of an old Little British Car look.
