Expert Answers about Golf Cart Tires and Wheels


  • Will 10 Ply 205/65-10 Tires be Durable for use on a Golf Cart
  • The 205/65-10 Kenda Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1HP56 is absolutely going to be durable enough to last in part because it is a 10 ply tire and also because it is a bias tire, which means it has a stiffer sidewall and is perfect for a golf cart. Mounting a 10 ply instead of a 6 ply will definitely not increase the risk of damage to your wheels and a pro tire shop should be able to successfully mount these tires without issue or damage. The most important thing you can do to ensure...

  • Can Tires Be Inflated With less Air Pressure To Get A Smoother Ride On Golf Cart
  • All tires whether they are for your golf cart or for a trailer are recommended to be inflated to their psi capacity. If a trailer tire is inflated to a lower air pressure than the maximum, the amount of weight that the tire can carry will be reduced. If a heavier load is put on the trailer tire than what is recommended for that air pressure, the sidewall of the tire could heat up and cause the tire to fail. If a tire is over-inflated, it will wear more in the center of the tread, all...

  • Weight Capacity of Stromberg Carlson VG-15-100 5th Wheel Tailgate
  • Stromberg Carlson states that the weight capacity of the # VG-15-100 fifth wheel tailgate is 100 lbs, so I wouldn't recommend using it to load a golf cart. The tailgate is very easy to remove and reinstall, so I'd recommend removing the tailgate while loading and unloading. You can see a product demonstration video featuring the # VG-15-100 tailgate.

  • How Much PSI Should I Run On The Kenda 205/40R12 Radial Golf Cart Tires?
  • On the side wall of the tire # AM40406 there will be a max PSI rating on the side. This is with any tire. I usually fill my tires up around 20% less than the max PSI rating.

  • What PSI Should Be Used On Golf Cart Wheel That Say 30 PSI On The Sidewall
  • The air pressure in any tire should be listed on the tire itself and if it says 30 psi, that is the psi I recommend using. Special trailer tires should be inflated to their maximum air pressure. for example, the tire you came from, part # AM40537 has the psi listed at 22 on the sidewall. If a trailer tire is inflated to a lower air pressure than the maximum, the amount of weight that the tire can carry will be reduced. If a heavier load is put on the trailer tire than what is recommended...

  • Towing a Travel Trailer With The Tailgate Down on a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  • Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate with Open Design for GM Trucks Item # VGM-07-100 has a 100 lb max weight capacity. However you can get a hitch extender and not replace your tailgate. As long as the extender sets your ball mount past the edge of your tailgate you will have enough clearance for the jack. I recommend Brophy Hitch Extender with Step for 2" Trailer Hitches - 18" Long Item # RST18 if you have a 2" hitch on your truck. When used with weight distribution it gives...

  • Using 165/65-8 and 215/60-8 Trailer Tires on a Go Cart
  • Since you will be so far below weight capacity, by all means inflate the tires for comfort rather than weight capacity. You'll want to keep in mind that these are bias ply tires, which will typically have a stiffer sidewall so you might not get all the flex you're looking for. This being said, don't forget these tires are designed for use on a trailer, and have not been tested for the purpose you propose. Both wheels have a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, so you'll want to be sure your hubs have a...

  • Does Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8-Inch White Wheel # AM30060 Accept Hub Caps
  • Usually a smaller-size 8-inch trailer wheel like the Kenda # AM30060 is not fitted with a hub cap. The small projections you noticed (and there are actually 3 of them on this item) are not intended to hold a hub cap although on larger wheels this can be the case. These small round nubs are simply a result of the tooling used for production of the wheels.
