Question:
I need a set of tires for a Golf Cart that is used at the airport for transportation and only drives in asphalt and concrete. The regular Golf cart tires do not last. I want to be sure if the Kenda Loadstar Low Profile K399 will work 215/60-8 Currently it has the Kenda Hole in one 18 X 8.50 X 8 . Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
Since a golf cart typically weighs quite a bit less than a loaded trailer, going with a 215/60-8 tire like part # AM1HP26 will give you a total weight capacity of 3740 lbs. Overkill? Probably. It also means that you'll get longer life out of the tires. The slightly more aggressive tread of the # AM1HP26 will also contribute to longer tire life.
If you're needing the wheel/tire combo, we offer the wheels in a 4 on 4 or 5 on 4-1/2 wheel bolt pattern. If you're unsure of your current wheel bolt pattern, see the provided FAQ article.
The wheels are offered in white powder coated steel or a galvanized finish. You can see the wheel/tire combos by clicking the provided link.
