225 vs 205 on a 14" wheel for street only use

[covfefe]

I have noticed most all the wheel and tire combos available have 205/30 14 tires. I am guessing this is to clear stock height carts. I would like a little taller tire and a decent amount of sidewall on the tire to prevent wheel scuffs. Lots of curbs and speed bumps where we roll.

Anyone running 225/35 or or even something taller in a street tire?

Have considered going with some off road tires but will never go off road and don't want the tire noise.

Thanks

225/40-14 on my non lifted RXV. No rubbing with slight trimming on the inside of the rear plastic bumper and dual action rear springs. No issues with 500# on the back seat.

Better ride than the 30's that came on it but not much. Street only in my case.

Anyone running something like this? 22" tire on a 12" wheel.

What tire model? Got any pics? Thanks!

Duro Excel Touring.

Still had the 30's on the front when this picture was snapped.

Going with 12' wheels and tires with taller side walls is a good plan IMO. You didn't say what cart you have. Tires taller than 20.5" on RXV's need controller mapping for reliability. TXT's will probably need a lift with tires over 20".

1999 TXT Jakes lift so have plenty of clearance.

I just finished build for a friend, fiberglass Bentley body on a Precedent. 225/40-14 on the cart with 4" lift (what he wanted but would have been better with a 3") Cart is extremely smooth and will top out at 35. He actually had them balanced. I may balance mine as well. If I was to replace my wheels and tires, I would do it with these tires.
