Your Golf Cart Tire Buying Guide

The base of your golf cart is its set of four tires, which need to be maintained in order to make the golf cart safe and reliable. If you ride your golf cart in conditions other than on a fairway, you may find yourself needing to look into other sets of tires. However, the specificity of golf cart tires can make them challenging to purchase if you don’t know what qualities you’re after.

Revel 42 of Wilmington is your North Carolina golf cart dealer. Read our tire buying guide below to determine what type of tires you should purchase for your golf cart.

Choose the Right Treads

First, you’ll want to think about the type of tread you need on your tires as this is the main way they’re classified. Treads usually have different heights, depths and widths for a variety of different terrain types. Your average golf cart already has a set of turf/street tires designed for riding on the fairway, but if you plan to go off-roading, you may want to consider one of the other two types outlined below.

Turf/Street Tires

As noted above, your golf cart probably has turf/street tires equipped and if you’re only riding on fairways and lawns, then a new set of turf/street tires will do very nicely. Their shallow and soft treads allow these tires to cross over grass without damaging it significantly. For those who want a little sturdier tread for more street riding, radial tires are a good option.

Off-Road Tires

Want to drive through mud or other more challenging terrain? Then a set of off-road tires will be necessary. These tires are similar to those you’d find on an off-highway vehicle so if your property or riding area is more difficult to navigate, swap out those turf/street tires for off-road tires.

All-Terrain Tires

If you want the best of both worlds, then all-terrain tires are the way to go. A smooth tread helps protect your lawn while giving you a little traction on tougher ground. This option is best for golfers who need their carts to be a bit more versatile.

Avoid Used Tires

We recommend that you do not purchase used tires. While the price point may seem tempting in terms of the money it could save you, used golf cart tires are not as reliable because they have sustained wear and tear. Even if they’ve been repaired, their integrity is questionable at best. New tires are the best way to go to guarantee a safe ride.
