Better ride with different wheel/tire combo?
I have a 2018 stretched club car tempo on 6" lift with alpha body kit. Currently has 23x10 AT tires on a 14" wheel. I drive only on street and paths.
I was thinking about going to a 22 or 23 x10 on a 12" wheel with radial tires. Hoping the thicker side wall and radial tread will increase comfort/reduce rough ride. However, this combo seems expensive. Any advice? I am looking for the best of both worlds. Maximum comfort and affordability without losing speed. (champagne on a beer budget I suppose). I like the 10" tire width because of the way it looks... the tires are wider than the cart and I don't want to lose that. Not sure if width is a variable here. |

What air pressure are you running? Try dropping it down to 10-12psi

A bigger sidewall results in more shock absorption. The same goes for 4 ply vs 6 ply.

Re: Better ride with different wheel/tire combo?
Max inflation pressure on the sidewall and actual needed inflation pressure are two very different thing.
A smaller wheel/bigger sidewall will always ride better. All I’m saying is before going and spending a bunch of money on new wheels and tires, inflate them properly. Google “tire chalk test” and inflate them only as much as necessary to get a nice even wear with the chalk test. The pressure needed for a golf cart (that really doesn’t weigh very much) may be significantly lower than you’d think you need |

15psi should be fine. I run between 15 and 18 on my carts. The tradeoff is softer ride at lower pressure and slightly better range at higher pressure.
