All terrain vs street tires

[Scott2.0]

My cart is a neighborhood pavement cruiser. I like the look of all terrain tires, but is there a downside to them? Will the knobbier tires hurt my speed a bit? I'm deciding between these:

or

Thanks!

If the cart will spend its life on the road go with the 2nd ones. They'll be quieter, ride better and be faster.

That’s what I needed to hear. Thanks!

All terrain tires will not hurt mph but they will make a little more noise and might not be quite as smooth. The all terrain tires will wear much faster. If you go with the street tread, just know that on wet grass they are very slick.

These are similar tires to what I run on my Workhorse/Hauler. Actually the tires I have are lawn tractor tires. I air them down a bit and they ride pretty good, no traction loss on wet grass, but they sure do plug up in wet dirt/mud. On the road they seem smooth enough.

I know you're talking lift kit, but as a pavement cruiser (plus that frontend) I would leave it alone, put on some nice offset wheels and low profile tires and call it a day. You also won't have to listen to your wife bitch about climbing on... just me.

Something like these 205/50-10 low profiles + 1" offset wheels.

You might be onto something. The other motivation for lifting it and getting bigger tires is to pick up a few MPH on the top end. Just curious, what about the front end makes you suggest not lifting it? Even goofier looking or not clearing those fenders/wheel wells?

I shouldn't have mentioned the frontend, I guess it wouldn't make a difference in the looks. .. didn't think of MPH. I think 205/50-10s are 18.5 tall .. only i/2" taller than stock (1/4" from center) probably will clear?

I had all terrain 23x10.5x 12 tires on my 6” lifted Precident, they were unbearable in the noise and roughness department, I put the Steeling turf tires pictured and find them to be great, very happy, little noise and no roughness, do not go down in diameter, you will lose speed.
