I’ve noticed that the rear tires on my Yamaha gas cart have worn down faster than the front tires. Does anyone rotate their tires? Also, who have you purchased new tires from?

I rotate my own, but I would suggest that you check your tire pressure, Yamaha suggests 22 PSI.

I forgot to add most of the mobile golf cart services can do this and some carry tires also. I have used Willie's and Todd Casey.

Yes. I noticed the same thing. First time I did it myself - PIA, the second time I asked to have it done when it was in for some service. Haven't had it long enough to need to buy new ones.

"The Tire Guy" TheTireGuy352@gmail.com.
He comes to the house and sells tires as well as maintenance and repairs. I have the model with the built-in inward camber factory setting, which really wears the front tires quickly.
He can't change that factory setting but will check the toe settings. He has good advice for how to maximize tire life of those carts with this camber setting. I won't go into the details because I'm not that good of a mechanic. Ask the expert.

I asked about the aftermarket shocks that you can buy to compensate for the camber, and he said that they MIGHT help, but also make the suspension stiffer.
Good Luck

Might want to mention what type/size tires, tire pressure, and whether have independent suspension? All have factor in tire wear.

I think he asking about rear tire wear?

Is that for 8” or 10 “ tires?

That's true. However, I have picked up a lot of valuable information on TOTV from people who have expanded their reply to include other associated information. Just trying to be helpful with things I have learned. You might have missed that I started by answering the second question.

We got our last set of tires at Tire Choice at Colony Plaza. Our 2-seat gas Yamaha cart uses the ubiquitous 10” Loadstar tires and they apparently keep them in stock and had a good price on them. It was about 1 hour for the install. I rotate my tires every 6000 miles and keep them inflated to 26-28 PSI and that results in even wear. We replaced all four tires at 25K miles when one tire suffered a non-repairable slash otherwise they would have probably gone 30K miles.

Just got some from Jared at Village Kart Aid. Very happy with service and price.

We had the Tire Guy put 2 new tires on the back of our 2018 Yamaha. He said backs wearing out faster is normal due to more weight in the rear.

He said to rotate them. He's a great guy, good service and fair pricing.

That’s why you have to adjust tire pressure vs weight.
