Anybody looking for a set of tires or a package. Discount Tire is having a wicked sale…just ordered a set of BD Xtr’s 27×14 on Raceline wheels for my rzr for 830 bucks shipped and I’m getting 295 bucks in rebates. Hard to beat and they are great to work with.
I have 2 2004 700 sportsmans, both carb versions only difference is one is the camo version. On the camo sportsman the tire size is 25 8 12 and 25 10 12. My blue 700 has 25 8 12 and 25 11 12.. is want to get new tires and rims the blue one but which tire size do I get?
Looked on craigslist to see what was out there. I found a set of 26" ITP Baja Cross 8 ply that the guy said had maybe 5 miles on them. I took a 45 minute road trip to check them out and they looked brand new. I don’t think the guy new what he had so I passed him 250 bucks and hit the road. His loss was my gain. Time for some new rims for the 570 now.

So i have seen some posts referencing using washers as spacers. So I got the new tires installed and they are wider than the factory Carlisle even though it is a 25x10x8. More squared off. There was only about an 1/8 inch between the tire and the rubber boot of the tie rod in so I put some grade 8 washers behind the wheel that are about 1/16 of an inch thick to give just a tad more space for now. Just want to verify the that the thickness is ok. I can’t imagine that using anything thinner would do any good. I think I will just end of ordering new rims. I may consider the tie rod flip, if I can find a good video on it to show how to determine where to adjust the TRE to. Pics of TRE are with washer installed. Tires are at 7 PSI, but will be going down to around 4 or 5 psi. Thanks for any info.

Guys, after much research I have decided to replace my factory 26" Carlisle 498 tires with Kenda Bear Claw HTRs. I have been really surprised with all the positive reviews on these tires. As a matter of fact, unless you run a lot of mud, I haven’t found a bad review. Now that I know the tire I want I am having a hard time deciding on what size I want. My 2013 550XP is the browning edition, I like the factory camo 14" wheels and plan to keep them. Kenda only makes a 26" or a 28" tire for a 14" wheel (I will be running a 9" wide tire on front and an 11" wide tire on rear). I love the idea of getting 28" tires to increase my clearance but I am afraid it will be too much weight for the 550. I have already had conformation that 28" will fit without rubbing so it is more of a question of wear and tear on the machine. There are about 3-4 lbs difference per tire going from a 26" to a 28" (12-16 lbs more in tires). Even with the 26" tire I will be adding 32 lbs of tires to the machine over my current factory tires. I will likely add QSC clutch kit just to try and keep the low and mid power that I have now. If I had an 850 I would put in the 28" and not even think about it. Sorry to ramble just laying it all out there. Opinions? Anyone already been down this road?
