Online Tire Retailers

So I'm looking at buying some wheels and tires for my pioneer. I've studded the stock blackstones for winter use, and will buy a set of 28x10x14 for summer use. I've decided on System 3 for both wheels and tires, so the question is where to get them.

I've found what I'm looking for on a couple websites, but I've not used them before, so I figured I would see if anyone from the club has any experience with them. Three I've found so far:

KJ Motorsports - Offers free shipping
PlanetSXS - Currently having a tires sale and offers free shipping.
Summit Racing - I've purchased and dealt with them before, but they are also the highest price currently.

If anyone else has any that I missed, feel free to post them up.

I wouldn’t be scared of any of them 3.

Shipping will be the only problem if you have one. It is slow lately and they don’t always give tracking. Just an FYI. It sounds like you don’t need the tires “right now” anyway

I purchase a set of wheels and tires from PlanetSXS.com back in Dec. Great communication and easy to work with. Would recommend them.

I bought my wheels and tires form a local dealer at a very good price, I was surprised and they mounted the tires on my new bead lock wheels. And they came in the following day of ordering, I thought it would take a couple of weeks.

I did. They don't seem to carry the System 3 line of wheels/tires. Same can be said for SuperATV.

The trails in northern NH limit width to 65", so I'm going to go with 6+1 wheels in order to stay under 65". 5+2 wheels seem to be hit or miss from what I've read on here regarding overall width. This is what brought me to the System 3 wheels.

I'm planning on stopping by the local dealer tomorrow at lunch to see if they can get what I want. Unfortunately they are not known for good prices, but we shall see.

I run 6 + 1 front & 5 + 2 back thats makes width same front & back w/o spacers.

I assume you're familiar with Dennis Kirk but don't see it mentioned anywhere above so wanted to add it. Below is a post I made on the 500/520 forum couple weeks ago. Sorry for the length but hope the information is helpful. Good luck -

"Hope recommending a specific vendor doesn't violate forum protocol. Don't think so based on what I've seen in recent months.

A few days ago I posted a version of this message in another thread but wanted to give it a bit more attention because I've had such a good experience, albeit short (so far).

I suppose the experiences and preferences of tires is about as numerous as owners/riders. For many years I simply used the tires that came on the vehicles I purchased as they were adequate for my needs. But last October when I finally got a 520 I knew the stock tires would not be sufficient for my needs. Because I much prefer hauling to towing I needed to stay at the 520's standard 50 inch width, but I also needed to maximize its functionality to serve as my tractor. (Closest thing I have to a tractor.) In shopping/researching, among many other tire brands I got recommendations for ITP. I'd never heard of ITP, which likely says more about me than the company. In looking closer, I liked what I heard and saw. I eventually contacted the company directly, explained my specific needs and asked questions. A company rep responded promptly and thoroughly and repeatedly. He recommended several options he felt would be suitable but said the Mud Lite XTR would be the best. I agreed with his rationale and went up from the stock 24 inch tires to only 25 inch because the 8's actual width was 7.6 inches and the actual height of the 8s and 10s were slightly over 26 inches. So in essence the Mud Lite XTRs maintained the 520's original 50 inch width as needed but added some ground clearance and a much more aggressive and capable tread. Having used them since October, they've proven excellent for my needs.

Equally as impressive as the tire quality has been ITP's customer service, both before and after I became a customer. Within a week of mounting the new tires in October I noticed the right rear was low. I'd air it and it'd go low again. After a few days I took the 520 back to the shop that changed out the stock tires to the ITPs and they found the leak quickly but said it couldn't be effectively plugged. Highly annoyed, I contacted both Dennis Kirk and ITP. I'd purchased through DK because their price was much better than any other provider. DK responded that they have no warranty on atv/utv tires, but nevertheless they offered to reduce the price of a replacement. I was somewhat surprised, pleasantly, at DK's willingness to discount a replacement under such circumstances. Then ITP responded by sending a replacement/new tire, free, no shipping, no charge whatsoever. I was very impressed by and grateful to both DK and ITP since neither had any way of knowing whether the tire leak was pre-existing or caused by my use.

So fwiw, I highly recommend ITP Tires - Mud Lite® XTR - Extreme Terrain Radial Tire - products and service. And Dennis Kirk as well. Hopefully this info may be of use to some."

I may have recommended them to you, I'm on my second set of ITP's great tires and made in the USA.

Summit Racing was the lowest price on my TSL Super Swampers I just bought.

I run 6 + 1 front & 5 + 2 back thats makes width same front & back w/o spacers.

But you can't rotate the tires.

 

[Smitty335]

But you can't rotate the tires.

I don't see a need to rotate, I try to tread lightly on the trails, if I think I will spin in 2 wd I put it in 4wd, the tires wear pretty even that way, I replace four tires at a time. I started riding dirt bikes in the woods way back, like 1976, the trails held up really well, then came 3 wheelers, 4 wheelers and the popularity of trail riding exploded, then came S x S's, trail conditions have really gone to poop, so I tread lightly trying to be easy as I can on the trails.

 

[Neohio]

Smitty spends more time on his roof or side than tires. They don't wear out for him.

I definitely think the ability to rotate is a plus and a reason I’m going to go with 6+1 on all four wheels and possibly spacers in the back.

I like to cruise trails most of the time, but 2wheel lock and a good dose of the skinny peddle is way to fun to ignore.

I'm running 15" 5+2 wheels with rear spacers and TSL Super Swampers.

Another vote for planetsxs. Bought wheels and 2 sets of tires from them.

 

[SH21]

Thanks for the feedback folks.

Order has been placed with PlanetSxS. Will update with pictures when they arrive.

 

[SH21]

Kudos to PlanetSXS. Order placed Tuesday and they were at my door Thursday at 5 mounted and ready to go(no homo).

still a few weeks of ice fishing left, so the new tires won’t be mounted until then.
