215/40R12 Golf Cart Tires

Radial 215/40R12 Golf Cart Tires

215/40R12 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, either steel or nylon, that run perpendicular to the direction of travel of the tire, which creates a more flexible sidewall. The stronger tread construction minimizes the expansion of the tire as it heats up during use, meaning the tire will hold shape better leading to a smoother ride and more even wear-life over time. In general, radial 215/40-12 tires are designed to provide the smoothest, most comfortable ride of any 215/40-12 golf cart tire type. 

Benefits of Radial 215-40R12 Tires

The main benefits of radial golf cart tires in the 215-40R12 size are:

• They offer a smoother ride than regular tires (bias-ply tires), since they don't lose their shape under heat / load
• Radial tires are generally more battery/gas 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. Radial golf cart tires can be more expensive than regular golf cart tires. And currently, there are less radial-ply tread patterns offered on the market than bias-ply.
