Default Tire snafu 2017 drive2

My rear tires are bald on the inner 2 inches of both rear tires. Cart is soon 3 yrs. old.
Dealer says there is no "alignment" adjustment for rear tires.

Any ideas as to a solution? Need to put on new tires but don't want them to do the same thing.

Air pressure? Sounds like they're chronically low.
Dunno about a 2017 Yamaha, but majority of carts have a straight rear axle so the only thing that affects wear of the rear tires is weight, driving habits, and air pressure.

What I find is the majority of shops and owners put too little air in the tires. Im going to assume you have a quiet tech with the 205x65x10 tires. Is so, 32psi at a minimum, and youll get 20K miles out of the tires.

Drive 2 ptv gas has independent rear suspension (with 2 CV axle shafts). And it doesnt have any alignment settings.

If it's only the inside, not BOTH sides of the tires low air pressure isn't the problem. I would guess additional weight and or weak springs. Do you have a back seat or a utility box? Do you often carry extra weight in back? With the independent suspension the rear can camber over a bit / \ with weight on the back. Keep in mind it IS a golf cart. Suspension was designed for two people up front and a few golf club in back. Most of us ask way more from them than that.
