Review on Premium Performance: Carlisle Turf Master 18X8.50-8 Lawn & Garden Tire by Jessie Burgos

Ordered 4 of these for my raised golf car. Went with them because I wanted a smooth, quiet ride. 99% of our karts drive next door on paved roads, partly on grass, partly on gravel roads. So I don't need an aggressive knobby mud tire. Tires delivered quickly, arrived a little crumpled, no big deal, makes it difficult to get on and off, but not that big of a deal. I think I noticed the tires didn't come up at all lol I'm used to a good hard cotton when you first mount and air them... maybe it's a golf cart wheel or maybe just my wheels? After initial installation, the ride was bumpy, as if the tires were out of round. I thought they needed some time to rest and get back into shape after being crushed in storage/shipping. Today, after 5 days of assembly, I deflated the tires and pumped them up a few times to hopefully get the real tires on board. The handling improved a bit after that, but I think the tires just aren't built very well. When I jack up the car and spin the wheels, I see that they shake quite a bit. I then tried deflating and manually repositioning the tires on the wheel and that helped a bit. But overall I'm pretty disappointed. I really wanted a smoother ride. Maybe the rims, but I think it's the tires. Check date 10/10/2021 will be updated in the future if anything changes.
