Wheel/Tire suggestions for my usage
I'm about to overall a 2001 ezgo txt, and will be putting a 5" Jakes drop axle lift on. My thought is 22" tires. (36v stock motor, system converted to 48 v with 500 altrax).
This will be used at campgrounds as well as my small horse farm. (so, grass, uneven grass in the pastures, and some trails - ups and downs). I'm unsure if a 10" wheel or a 12" wheel really matters, but it seems like 10" will give me more tire for more tread. I'm wondering if these will be too agressive for campground - https://www.golfcarttiresupply.com/1...ombo-set-of-4/ These seem like they may do well on and offroad? - https://www.golfcarttiresupply.com/1...ombo-set-of-4/ (I don't want to rumble around a campground, but I don't want to get stuck on my small farm). Suggestions welcome! thanks |

Re: Wheel/Tire suggestions for my usage
Either ones would work for the terrain and not be too loud. Go with 10" wheels and 22" tires as they will give you a more cushy ride than 12". More sidewall = softer ride. Run the air pressure 5 - 7 lbs. less than the sidewall recommended air pressure.

Re: Wheel/Tire suggestions for my usage
I have the similar set of tires called Sahara Classics and a couple of those pictures show those but not listed as that. May be knock offs of a Chinese tire.

Re: Wheel/Tire suggestions for my usage
Some all terrain tires are 10 ply, 8 ply, 6 ply etc. The more ply the stiffer the ride will be, but the more you can air them down safely. For campground and normal groomed trails, 4 and 6 ply are plenty and will ride better. Ply count and air pressure are the two biggest factors in how soft a tire feels.
Another consideration, some off road tires are directional, which means you can't rotate them side to side. Just somethings to consider. On a golf cart I find that the difference between 10" and 12" is really mostly looks. Get what you like. The difference in ride won't be that big of a deal, almost unnoticable. The ply and the air pressure will affect ride more. Other than that, either of those choices will work just fine. |
