Tires for your golf cart are some of the first things that need to be replaced when you own a cart. But it may seem not very safe when looking at all those numbers that appear not to make any sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My initial experience of looking at a size chart made me feel like I was back in math class, but I did learn how to read golf cart tire sizes with a little practice. You can read golf cart tire<\/a> sizes using two basic formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, the first reading on a cart or spec guide represents the height and width in inches. Its third value shows the size of the wheel the tire fits. the second formula involves ratio utility involving the width and overall height. The last number also represents the size of the wheel the tire suits.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But to get a full understanding of wheel size for tires on your cart, let’s take a deeper look and get a full explanation of what reading these sizes includes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

How Are Cart Tires Measured?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Knowing the tire measurements is one of the best ways to identify the ideal option for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cart\u00a0tire measurements<\/a> typically involve getting the sizes of the width, height, and overall diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturers usually provide the tire measurements at the store, making identification easier. Despite this, you can also measure a tire when unsure of the factory size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. First, you use a tape measure and note the tire\u2019s height. This measurement involves recording the length from the floor to the top via the broadest section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Second, measure and record the width of the tread tire.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Last, measure and write the cart tire\u2019s diameter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I understand measurements better using inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, I often receive only the metric measurements. If you are like me, you can turn to a\u00a0cart tire size calculator<\/a>\u00a0online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Alternately, you can exercise your math skills by directly converting your findings to inches using the formula below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tire height in millimeters \/ 25.4 \u00d7 .3 \u00d7 2 + 12 = Height in inches<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tire height in millimeters \/ 25.4 = Width in inches<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Verifying Your Golf Tire Offset<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Apart from tire measurements, knowing the offset of your cart tire is necessary. An offset refers to the distance from the hub mounting surface to the centerline of your wheel. This measurement typically comes in millimeters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The numbers can be negative, positive, or zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Manufacturers integrate the golf tire offset measurement on your tire. You can verify it by inspecting the factory tires for the printed sizes. Notably, they often have a label with “ET” and the numbers in millimeters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Even though it may seem knowing your tire size is sufficient, I advise you to learn your offset, too. An incorrectly calculated offset can lead to your cart tire wearing down faster. This rapid drop in quality may increase your risk of a blowout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
