FAQs
Are these tyres suitable for highway use?
No, these tyres are specifically designed and intended for off-road use only. They are not rated for highway speeds or conditions and should not be used on public roads.
What is the correct tyre pressure for this assembly?
The recommended tyre pressure for optimal performance and load capacity is 22 PSI.
What does 4-inch PCD mean?
PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter. A 4-inch PCD means the diameter of the circle passing through the center of the 4 stud holes on the rim is 4 inches. This is a common size for golf buggies.
How do I clean the tyres and rims?
Clean with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
What is the maximum weight this wheel and tyre can carry?
The maximum load capacity is 815 lbs (370kg) when inflated to 22 PSI.
Can I use this on a vehicle other than a golf cart?
This wheel and tyre assembly is suitable for other off-road buggies and utility vehicles with compatible hub and axle specifications (4-inch PCD, 4 studs). It is not suitable for standard road vehicles.
What is the tread depth?
The tread depth for the Wanda P509 tyre is 6mm.
Troubleshooting
Tyre is losing air pressure slowly.
Check for embedded objects in the tread. Inspect the rim edge for any damage or corrosion. Ensure the valve stem is secure and not damaged. Re-seat the tyre on the rim if necessary, or consult a professional.
Uneven wear on the tyre tread.
Verify tyre pressure is consistently maintained at 22 PSI. Check vehicle suspension and alignment, as these can cause premature or uneven wear. Rotate tyres if applicable to ensure even wear over time.
Vehicle feels unstable or vibrates during use.
Ensure the wheel is securely fastened to the hub. Check tyre pressure on all wheels. Inspect the tyre for any bulges or damage. Consider having the wheel balanced if vibrations persist.
Tyre is difficult to mount/dismount from the rim.
Ensure the correct tyre size and rim combination is being used. Use a suitable lubricant designed for tyre mounting on the bead. If using tools, be cautious not to damage the tyre or rim.
