Lifted Radial Golf Cart Tires
Radial Golf Cart Tires for Lifted Carts
We are often asked if radial tires are better than standard (bias-ply) golf cart tires. The answer in general is, yes (which is why radial tires are more expensive than standard). This doesn't mean standard bias-ply golf cart tires are bad, it's just that radial golf cart tires offer the following benefits:
- Radial Golf Cart Tires have stronger ply construction vs. Standard Bias-ply tires
- Radial Steel or Radial Nylon Belts run at a 90-degree angle of the tread center-line vs. Bias-ply tires and run at 45-degrees
- Radial Golf Cart Tires provide a Longer Tread Life (replace less often) than Bias-ply
- Radial Tires offer less rolling resistance, leading to better battery and gas efficiency

Radial Golf Cart Tires
Radial golf cart tires for LIFTED golf carts are constructed with a specific type of casing, called a radial ply. This type of tire has a layer of cord plies that run perpendicular to the direction of travel, creating a more flexible sidewall on your all-terrain or taller tire. Radial tires also have a tread pattern that is designed to provide a smooth, comfortable ride.
When it comes to choosing the right street/smooth tires for your golf cart, you have two main options: radial and bias-ply. Both types of tires have their own set of benefits and drawbacks, and it's important to understand the differences between the two in order to make an informed purchasing decision for your cart.
