Signs to Replace Your Tires
You might not be convinced that it’s time to replace your tires, but there are a few signs to watch for that indicate you should!
- If you notice your golf cart is starting to drive slower, and it’s not low on fuel or a charge, it might actually be the tires. You can start by checking the air pressure, but if you still feel like your cart is sluggish, you may have a leak!
- Another obvious sign it’s time to replace the tires is worn down tread. You can refer to the owner’s manual or manufacturer information to determine how much tread is safe for operation. Thin tire tread can lead to blowouts and serious accidents.
- Cracking is another indication that it’s time to replace the tires. Weather like sun exposure and extreme cold can cause the rubber to expand and crack over time. A crack can lead to air leaks and potential blowouts as well.
