Radial Golf Cart Tires for Non-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:
- They offer the smoothest ride you can get with your golf cart
- Radial tires are more battery / fuel efficient than regular golf cart tires (lower rolling resistance)
- They have a stronger ply construction vs. Standard Bias-ply tires
- Radial Golf Cart Tires provide a longer tread life (replace less often) than Bias-ply tires

Radial Golf Cart Tires
Radial Golf Cart Tires
Radial golf cart tires 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. 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.

The main benefits of radial golf cart tires are:

- Radial tires are generally more fuel efficient than regular tires (lower rolling resistance)
- Radials have a longer lifespan than bias-ply tires
However, there are also some drawbacks to using radial golf cart tires:
