Default Thinking of changing tires

My 2008 RXV has 23X10.5-12 tires. These tires are kind of knobby and probably for off road use. They give a rough ride on the neighborhood streets where it will be driven 100% of the time. Can anyone recommend a tire that will give a smoother ride?

Thanks in advance

Some of the guys around here run that style on the front with a more aggressive tread on back.

Those ride nice, stay away from mud, they collect it all and turn into a giant mud-ball.

Looks like the RHOX RXUT tires have about the same tread pattern as my Carlisle Turf Master tires.

I went through a short shallow ditch and got mud stuck in the tread about half way around the tires and the cart rode like the tires were out of round until the mud flew out.

I won't be going in mud. Its strictly a hard surface cart. (Neighborhood streets)
JohnnieB- how do you like your Carlisles? Are they smooth riding?

I like them. The are turf tires rather than highway tires, but they ride smooth on pavement and have reasonably good traction on dirt and gravel.

As you see, they come in a wide variety of sizes.

I drive mostly on roads, but I take shortcuts across some fields quite often.

The reason I went with turf tires rather than road tires is because I'm allowed to on the grass in local parks with turf tires while road tires aren't allowed.

I was thinking about swapping out the stock 8s and going with 10s with no lift kit, just to spruce up the look after i paint the shell.

With that cart having a lift kit, I bet 14's and low-profile tires would look good on it.
