bumpy ride

sltintexas

I have a lifted EZ GO RXV with off road tires. I know off road tires aren't going to give you as good of a ride, but what should I expect? My alignment was way off so i went through 2 front tires. I have adjusted but get quite a bit of vibration and bumpyness at low speeds. is that normal with off road tires? or do you think I still have some issues- maybe alignment.

Sometimes new tires are a bit out of round and seem "bumpy". Get some miles on them and they will probably get better.

Tires do experience 'flat spotting' from sitting, ride for a while as E36 says.

If that doesn't help you could rotate them and see if the vibration moves with the suspected tire.

What is the tire pressure? I ran about 30lb after I seated them on the rim. Then let pressure out to 15lb.


Should be towed in about 1/8".

Yes this, of my cart sits for a week it shakes like crazy for the first mile. And like Unforgiven said, put them at like 30psi and drive a couple miles to help get them round again. I usually run mine at 20-22psi all of the time since I'm usually on asphalt. Tire says max psi is like 15 or something but my manual even says 24psi. But I wouldn't go much past 30psi

This isn't the kind of bumpy from a flat spot. I've felt that before and I know what you are talking about. Its like you are feeling the knobby parts of the tires hitting the concrete.

I am running around 15 lbs pressure.

I run 7-9psi in mine and I have taller side walls on my tires and it rides very smooth and I do a lot of trail riding. The taller the side wall and lower air pressure will help a lot with the ride.

Once the edges of the knobbies round off a little it will probably smooth out a little bit. I noticed that with mine anyway. At first I could almost feel every lug as the tires rolled, now it's much better. I still don't like how noisy they are on pavement so I'm looking forward to wearing them out and getting street tires. My cart never sees dirt and hardly ever even sees grass so no more loud off road tires for me. Only problem is street fox is the only company that makes a 23"x10"x14" street tire and they are not cheap. I should have gone with 12" rims for more tire options.

Correct. 12" has more options.

Try 8 lbs.
