One of the ways to make your golf cart more versatile and boost its safety is to replace its tires with those more suited to your adventures. Don’t worry if you are unsure where to begin—we have you covered. Our experts at Sunrise Camping Center have created this guide to discuss a few strategies to help you buy the perfect tires for your golf cart.

Consider the Terrain

Golf carts come equipped with turf/street tires, with shallow and soft treads for traversing over fairways. If you intend to use your vehicle on a golf course, you will want to replace your current model with a new set of turf/street tires. However, if you plan to use your vehicle for off-road adventures, you will benefit from buying radial tires with a sturdier tread.

If you think you will use your golf cart for golfing and off-roading activities, get all-terrain tires instead. These tires feature a smooth tread that helps protect the soft grasses on golf courses while giving you the traction you need to move over challenging ground.

Plan Your Budget

It helps knowing how much you can spend on buying tires for your golf cart. Ideally, you should replace all four tires together to prevent any one of them from wearing down unusually or prematurely.

Golf tires come with a wide range of price tags, so keep your options open when exploring them.

Avoid Used Tires

Used golf cart tires come at a much lower price than their brand-new counterparts. However, you should avoid buying them, no matter how tempted you might be. Pre-owned tires have sustained wear and tear and won’t offer you the performance and safety you seek when driving your vehicle. Even after repair, they likely won’t be reliable and are best avoided. 

Now that you are more familiar with the strategies to buy golf cart tires, you are ready to replace those on your vehicle.
