Precedent Tires Help
Hi all, I've been putting Greensave 18X8.50X8 tires on my cart every few years and started thinking they are probably good on turf but I think they wear pretty quick for the paved road driving that I do 99% of the time.
Any suggestions for tires made for low speed (15mph) street driving? Thanks! |

Re: Precedent Tires Help
Looks like a good site with a lot of tire choices,but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good make/model for golf cart tires to use for low speed street driving.

Re: Precedent Tires Help
Go with a DOT rated tire. I don't think I've ever seen a tire rated at 15mph. If I did I wouldn't buy it. BTW I bought Kenda?

Re: Precedent Tires Help
I'm in a similar situation. Cart is always on pavement and used a lot. Tires have been noisy and need replacement every couple of years in both 8 inch and 10 inch sizes. Air loss with the 10 inch aluminum wheels was excessive but manageable. Last summer I put on a set of Duro DOT rated tires (10 inch). So far they are much quieter, appear to be wearing better and minimum air loss (almost none). The side walls must be stiffer as the ride is harsher and the steering response sharpened up. This may be a characteristic of a "DOT" tire. With 22 psi in the rears and 12 psi in the fronts I eliminated the increased harshness.
So, only about 9 months experience with these tires. Not long enough to make any definite conclusions yet. Ask me again in about 2 years. Not much help probably but, we try. |

Re: Precedent Tires Help
Ok thanks guys. I think that's what I was looking for....a DOT rated tire = for street driving. I think the turf type tires are too soft or something.
