ATV Which tires?

[jwfirebird]

dealers just push what makes them the most
the cheap tires are normally short too, you have to pay for for a 26 or 25 for it to be that
itp and a few others are normally exactly or a little taller

I really liked my original Bighorns. Great riding tire that did well everywhere and wore like iron. Well...did well everywhere except my wallet: They seem to be pricey for what they are, but they are clearly a quality tire.

Like @Plumber32 i am a fan of the STI Black Diamond XTR's. Had them on my old foreman and my 700. Nice almost knobby tread (directional) with deep lugs. They seem to run small to me, so i'd run 25's on the Rancher.

I went the cheapest, simplest way I could.....I bought wheels and installed my bighorn 2.0 that I removed from my P1K5. They look a little ghetto in that size, but fit with no problem. It might have lost a little acceleration, but it gained a lot of ground clearance and traction compared to stock tires. 2014 Rancher manual shift with PS.

@sugarray, have you ridden the ATV around much? Just noticed from your oil light thread that this is a Rancher AT? Seems like i remember a lot of people complaining about bogging with those and not backshifting, and even burned up centrifugal clutches. I think it came down to a software issue...and it sounds like you intend to go back with stock sized tires. Maybe thats a good plan with this machine?

I haven't ridden it much at all. Just had the kids out on the road in our development just so they can start to get a feel for an ATV. I went with stock 24" tires. Seem great, just put them on yesterday. I need to get the front brakes set and then it'll be ready to ride.

best thing especially if its for the kids. if you havent thought of it some times will steer easier if you run a couple extra lbs over the recommended pressure in the front
