Golf cart tires dampen the oscillations caused by the irregularities of the ground and protect the wheels from wear and tear. They also provide a high-friction bond between the golf cart and the ground to improve handling and acceleration. They make the wheels and steering easier to maneuver.
Golf cart tires are tubeless, and they come in varying sizes and tread patterns. The most common tread patterns are sawtooth and straight rib. Some golf cart tires have directional treads, while other have knobs and paddles for better traction on sandy and muddy surfaces. Golf cart tires are made for slow speeds and not for high-speed highway travel. Although there are golf cart tires designed for road use, they are still subject to approval by the Department of Transportation, depending on the area. Golf cart tires normally cannot sustain the stress of high-speed rotations with a heavy load.
Standard Golf Cart Tires measure 18 inches tall (outer diameter), 8.5 inches wide across the tread, and 8 inches at the bead in the inner diameter (18”x 8.5” x 8”). This size is the standard for most golf cart OEM wheels. Large golf car tires
Large Golf Cart Tires are sold aftermarket. Their increased diameter allows them to cover more distance per revolution. However, the golf cart's engine has to work extra hard to turn them, resulting in decreased pulling power. A higher horsepower engine or motor may be needed to effectively turn them.
Quality standards: Choose only golf cart tires that meet the ISO 9001 standards for safety and quality. Traction: Look for golf cart tires with knobs and paddles on the treads for better traction on sandy and muddy surfaces.
