What size tires??

paultxt · 10-14-2019, 03:53 PM

I know this question gets asked a thousand times a day but please help me out.
I have an EZGO TXT with a 6 inch spindle lift. I am currently running 23X10X14 on it now but I am thinking about going to 26X9X14 or maybe even 26X11X14. Will these fit? Will I still be able to turn? Pics are great as well! I was looking at 25's but it is hard to find that size for a 14 inch wheel. There is a lot more options in 26.
Am I crazy to put a this size tire on a cart with a spindle lift?
Thank y'all in advance!

Don't know about fit on your ride, you need to measure for that, but I will tell you you will loose a LOT of torque as you have changed the total gearing a lot. Steep climbs and deep sticky mud/sand [or snow as we have here] will leave you wishing you had stayed with 23s or better yet 22s. Think of trying to peddle a bicycle stuck in 12th gear, especially off road.

I probably should have mentioned that I have a 600 amp alltrax control and d and d motor.

I have an 500 amp controller and D&D torque motor too.

Love them both, but I can still work it to the limit. I went from 23s to 22s when the firts set wore out. The cart was capable on either size but did the job easier using less amps with the 22s. I have not missed the extra 1/2" of clearance yet. By the time the diff is draggin in soft stuff, you need all the torque you can get.

Measure it up. And if it looks like it will go, hit the buy now button. If you find interferences, you can modify on the run. That is really the only way to tell...for sure. If it doesn’t work out, sell the wheels. You only be out a few bucks. If it all works out, you’ll have the cart of your dreams.

That is what I would do.
