Default adding 10" or 12" rims

I have a stock 2008 PDS electric cart. I was looking to upgrade the tires to either 10" or possibly 12" rims, with no lift kit.

Will the ride be noticeably firmer by switching out to these size rims?

Thanks

I don't think so. Stock tires are pretty stiff. Low profile tires might be a little stiffer because of the narrow sidewall but I don't think you will notice much difference.

I got 10's on mine. The overall height is the same as the stock tires. I guess they're OK. I like 'em.....

How can a rim change speed????? It's the tire diameter that matters. Rim diameter is just pretty.
