87 Club Car DS wheels and tires, what size is best?
It's a road warrior, but like the offroad looking tires what size is best 10 or 12", and what size tire should I be looking at. Just want the look, and the cart is lifted already so should be able to fit most normal sizes. Also dont want to break the bank so what's the most economical size?

1987 had a resistor coil drive system. Is your cart converted to solid state operation yet? If no, consider bigger tires increase load which may lead to resistor coil drive failures, especially at slower speeds.

Also when I ran my cart, before the controller conversion, I had 4ga wires through the entire battery to motor high current loop and upgraded my primary solenoid to 400a before the big tires went on so keep that in mind with my above statement. |

Well I don't want massive tires, I just like the look of a more aggressive tire. I post a pic of kinda the setup I like, but hard to tell what I can run. Any specific size recommendations would be great.

Re: 87 Club Car DS wheels and tires, what size is best?
The resistor system on your cart is not designed for oversized tires. If you want aggressive tires, that's fine. But don't go taller than the factory 18" size. Heavier and taller tires increase the amp draw of the motor and increase the amount of energy that the resistors need to pull from your battery pack. The resistors are not designed to pull any additional amperage than a stock golf cart would pull.

Not an issue, but then what's the actual size I should be looking for? I guess a 205 50 10 tire and wheel?
