Top 9 Golf Cart Tires of 2025

No one sells more golf cart tires than we do here at the GCTS. After more than 1,120,000+ tires sold, here’s the Top 9 most popular Golf Cart Tires of 2025!

Usually we do Top 10 lists for most of the product articles we write, but when it comes to tires there are several different tread types so we have broken our list down into a few categories: best golf cart tires for Pavement (street), best All Terrain golf cart tires, and most popular OEM sized golf cart tires.

We have crowned a top 3 in each of these categories. The data is in, and our statisticians have crunched the numbers. Without further ado, are proud to present the Best Golf Cart Tires on the market in 2025! Our three overall winners are right here below, but scroll down to check out the full list of all 9 tires. It was hard to choose winners this year with so much good product hitting the market!

Best Golf Cart Tires for Pavement

Every year, golf carts continue to get used more and more off the golf course. With many families choosing to use their carts as the primary way to get around their neighborhood. But these tires still need to be gentle enough for the grass and fairways. This has lead the golf cart industry to bring better golf cart tires to market each year, and for 2025 we are blown away by the quality of tires that are on the market.

One big theme we have been pointing out for 4-years running is that Radial golf cart tires are here to stay.  And that is because radial tires offer two major primary benefits when it comes to your golf cart:

1. They reduce rolling resistance for better gas mileage / improved torque from your cart.
2. They have a longer tread life (compared to straight bias ply tires).

So you won't be surprised to see a few radial tires on our list this year! You can learn more about the differences between Radial golf cart tires and Bias Ply tires by reading our article: Radial vs. Bias Ply Golf Cart Tires Explained.

1. TREX StreetGlide Steel Belted Radial Golf Cart Tires

     

TREX entered the golf cart tire space last year, and to our surprise quickly took 1st place on our list of best tires. The data is in, and our customers felt the exact same way about the StreetGlide and ComfortGlide lines of tires last year. So for 2025 TREX has now cemented themselves in the golf cart tire space with smooth as butter Radial Only golf cart tires. TREX offers both the StreetGlide (low profile) and ComfortGlide (taller cushy profile) radial tires for all golf cart wheel sizes, including 10", 12" and 14" applications. We are hopeful they will release a 15" tire sometime this year, but no word on that yet. 

Not only do these tires completely change the ride of your cart to be the smoothest possible, but their radial construction provides reduced rolling resistance and better battery / fuel efficiency for your cart. While most golf carts max out around 25-35mph, the TREX StreetGlide tires have a speed rating of "N", which means these tires can theoretically handle up to 87mph. 

Grab a set of TREX Golf Cart Tires today and get these great qualities:

Tire Features:

• Steel Belted Radial design allows tire to hold true shape better.
• Smoothest ride on market due to tire expanding less during use (heat resistance).

2. Kenda Kruzer Radial Golf Cart Tires

While the Kenda Kruzer is not the newest tire on the market, our stats showed that it grew in popularity quite a bit last year thanks to its smooth ride and sporty looks. With its steel belted radial construction, these tires provide long lasting tread-life, are gentle on both turf and grass (turf safe), and give your cart the ultimate street traction when you need it. 

Because the Kruzer is a true Steel Belted radial, it knocked the Excel Street Fox (last year's #2 street tire) off our list this year. And while Steel Belted Radial tires are a bit more expensive, they are worth it both short and long term for their performance over basic bias-ply tires, 

Tire Features:

• Steel Belted Radial Construction
• Unique sports car inspired directional tread pattern
• Offered in several sizes for 12 inch and 14 inch wheels

This is one of the most popular tires on the entire golf cart market, and has been for many years. In fact, most of our low profile  golf cart wheels and tires combos come with this tire mounted on it.

And customers have been loving them for years. That is because Wanda is a trusted titan in the tire space, and even manufacturers for many OEM brands such as Polaris (RZRs).
