Aftermarket wheel/tires

[jkpinatl]

I have a 2020 i60, I really like the cart.....the low point is the ride and I am already tired of re-tightening nuts and bolts to quiet down the `squeaks and creaks`. To be fair I also have an ez-go L6 that has similar issues. The L6 does ride a little better (but not by a lot).

My question is, has anyone improved the ride with aftermarket wheels and tires? Going from a 10" rim to a 12" to improve the ride seems counterintuitive, but maybe the stock tires are `that bad'. To be clear, I love the cart and I think any cart running ~30 mph is going to be a bit rough, I'd just like it a but less rough. Anyone have luck with this?

When I purchased my I40 I discussed 12" wheels for my I40 my dealer pointed
out that the wheel/tire combo would fit but barely. He pointed out that the
wheel movement as the cart rides down the road would have a tendency to rub
on the wheel well liner....on the driver side there is a raised spot and the increased tire 12" wheel/tire combo will rub either when the wheel is turned
left and or travel up and down with road irregularities....so checking out the increased diameter comparing with the available wheel well space..I could see
where clearance would be an issue...so I declined the 12" wheel/tire combo.

Perhaps a tire with a taller sidewall could smooth things out...

As an after thought..perhaps adding lock washers to fasteners to prevent them
loosing after being tightened ...perhaps even applying locktite to thread before
re-tightening..

Hope this helps

I've been seriously considering just getting street tires to improve the ride. The ones that came with mine are the off-road style ones. I think that alone would improve some speed wobbles I have along with perhaps a smoother ride?

I like the all torrain tires as we like to take our lifted golf cart off pavement sometimes.
