Radial Tires for the cart

The Villager · 05-08-2011, 01:47 PM

I found radials on line: Carlisle Tour Max Radial Golf Cart Tires 519-148. Anyone tried these? I have on brand new Kenda Pro Tour tires and they seem to hop a little. Thought the Radials might give a smoother ride.

Any information on these or any tire that will be more evenly round than the PRO TOUR would be helpful.

See if you can have them spin ballanced and look at the tire for a out of round condition.

I would rather just throw the Kenda away and go with a radial, just trying to get the best tire avail for a smooth ride. Kenda Pro tour are just a cheap golf course tire. They came on the cart, so no big deal to dump them.

I've never tried them but radial tires will ride smoother that the normal bias ply tires.
The new E-Z-GO 2Five LSV comes standard with 205/50-10" radials.

No more hopping. I talked the the local EZ Go dealer and he said to put more air in the tires. What??? I thought that would just make it worse and ride ruffer also. Not so. I put 30 lbs in all the tires, the hop is done and no major change in the ride that I can notice. Must be that my cart is so heavy.

You will get more speed and run time with the higher pressures, I run mine at 25psi with no hop.
