Sounds like your black steel 8" wheels had ATV tires on them (you said 5 psi max on tire) and the All Trails are a golf cart tire (probably 20 psi max).

Even though it says 5 psi max on the ATV tire when used on a golf cart requires more pressure due to weight. I would have run them at least 10 psi, then you would have noticed better performance.

Another difference is tire height. Although both at 22" I believe if you measure they will not be 22". Tire height and mph go together. Also higher pressure gives greater tire height in an ATV tire.
