Default Tire Wear

I recently replaced the front bushings on my neighbors Precedent. It has a spindle lift. The bushings helped with the camber but the AT tires are pretty worn on the insides of both fronts. I drove the cart around a bit. It does not pull to one side or the other. Other than just shortening the life of the tires any problems with continuing to run on these tires? I don't see safety and handling a big concern on a golf cart going 18 miles an hour which is top speed on this cart.

Spindle lifts are notorious for camber angle issues. There is very little adjustment and the weight of the cart rides on the inside tread. Thus the wear. Double A Arm lift, or tell him to plan on replacing sets of tires every 2 years plus or minus. Those are is two best options.

Yeah I learned that from the forum when I started replacing his bushings. They don't use their cart very often so might last a little longer. I drive mine everyday but no lift on my DS. I have a limo cart being built by David at https://www.revolutiongolfcars.com/store. We are using an Allsports A Arm lift so won't being having this issue. I was mostly wondering about handling with these tires but it seems fine.

Place them on the back and run them till gone. No safety issues there....

You can also take them off the wheels and turn them around if non-directional.
