LEVEL 1 GOOD Golf Cart Tires – This budget friendly class of golf cart tires is the most widely purchased due to their attractive price point.

These tires will have a 4-ply rating with bias construction and will have a non-directional tread design. Great for the average golf cart driver, not looking for the frills, with a cart that goes 10-20 mph. The tires included in this “good” class are:

These Level 3 golf cart tires are everything you see in the premium tire class and then some. Boasting radial or steel belted radial (SBR) construction, these golf cart tires are going to give you the smoothest, most automobile-like ride that you can get in the golf cart sector.

***DISCLAIMER*** Regardless of the tire class, proper golf cart alignment needs to be performed any time you removing and re-installing wheels and tires on your cart. A golf cart that is not properly aligned will destroy the most expensive of front tires just the same as it would the least expensive of tires.

We are always happy to match up a specific wheel with the exact tire you are looking for! There are a great number of customers who do in fact care specifically about the tires they – whether it be the tire brand, construction, or load rating.
