ATV tire advice

ridgetops · Jan 12, 2019

After 12 years with the same stock tires on my Polaris 500, I'm in much need of new tires.

What are some good choices for an all around 6 ply tire.

I've seen good reviews on the Kenda Bear Claw.

I'm looking at getting 26x11-12 on the back and 26x9-12 on the front.

Any thoughts or advice?

LOL justr!

I Put 26"ers on My Polaris 500!

It Only Gains you a 1/2" More Clearance but you'd be amazed that 1/2" makes!

I Found a Guy that had a New Set of Take-offs that saved me a Chunk of Change!

I've Broke the POLARIS'S Back!

Lost a CV Boot!

The Vent Line on the Gas Tank needs Replaced!

Always Something!

I Like the Ride of the Polaris!

But it's Built out of a Bunch of JUNK F'N Metal that won't Hold up!

The original bear claws have a fairly soft sidewall, and pretty shallow tread depth. The new htr fixes both those issues. You could also check your loacal classifieds for a take off set from a Polaris ranger, they mostly come with those exact sizes.

Hey Ridge!

Here's a Decent Buy!

But they're not 26"ers!

Thanks for the reply Elkass.

I'm a little disappointed with the lack of responses.

Maybe ole Bess has everyone scared to admit they drive an ATV.

I'm also thinking about getting the Tusk Mud Force.
Anyone know anything about the Tusk brand?

Yea, what Tony said.

I'm surprised they lasted so long and did not develop huge sidewall cracks.

?Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. "

Actually those mud lites were right there in my top 5 choices to decide on.
They are a bit harder on the wallet though.

With enough RPMs, you could probably drive on water with those baby's!

Tires on an atv are disposable, like changing the oil. It's not a highway vehicle you look at traction, they're all going to last about the same depending on riding style. Sounds like you're riding style isn't very aggressive.
