Are these tires too big

brownchristian · 06-13-2013, 05:55 PM

These are listed for sale for $250. I have read that anything over 22" really hurts torque but the price seems like a great deal. 23" x 10" swamp lites.

any wheel bigger then stock will take away torque , if it take away to much then you get a controller has a 4th of July present

I tried the 4Th of July trick and the wife looked at me and laughed... so I think that's a maybe lol

I understand. I have upgraded 500 amp Alltrax controller, 2g wires, FNR switch and will be upgrading to 48v soon. Also plan to add 6" all seasons long travel lift.

Planned on only going with 22" tires but this deal seems to good to pass up. I bet I can get them for $200.

You won't have any problems turning those 23's. I was running 26's with a 500 amp controller, 48v. My motor wasn't stock tho, I had a DnD speed/torque motor and could run 25 mph all day.

as boke mentioned.....and considering the upgrades you have done.....you will have no problem with those tires. I have done pretty much the same as you, and I have 23" tires on mine.....and I am still at 36V......I do have a high speed motor and can turn those babies all day and will get my cart to 27 MPH with no problem at all.

^^^ what!??? 27 mph w/ 23" tires on 36 volts? dayum! I have a 36 volt ezgo , 22"x10 rubber, brand new batts, 4 g cables and can go no where near 15 much less 27. the new motor must be a mofo!

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!! LOL

if you look at my sig....you can see that I have done the whole "propulsion" system....the only stock wires in the cart are the ones from the ignition switch and the throttle.

yeah, I saw that, thats a crazy huge improvement w/o voltage increase. I'm plenty happy to see your results

ME TOO......now when these new batteries start to go.....or when I get a "WIDE HAIR", I will boost the juice up to 48V.....all that I will need is to upgrade the resistor on the solenoid and its GO TIME! that will put me at about 35 mph, or close to it, and more torque.
