I was wondering what everyone suggest for tires on 350 ranchers. I’m wanting a tire that’s good for mud, and we also have a plow for it but it doesn’t get used much anymore. not looking to spend a bunch, but it’s still on stockers lol. Front stocks are 24-8-12, rears are 24-9-11 right now. Thanks.

I am new to forum and I wanted ask what type of tires I should get for my 07 recon I am using it for hunting but the problem is it gets really muddy in some spots where I hunt. What would be the best tires for me to get at a cheap price?

Got some used rims today. Thought yamaha rims had same bolt pattern as honda….thought wrong. You live and you learn.

Anyone know if there is much demand for 9" yamaha rims.

Wanted some else’s thoughts. Went to purchase a set of Le da bear claw tires for my Recon. Parts guy suggested going with the 12" wide bear claw vs the 10" OEM would present a significant safety issue. Not sure if it was the stock rim or tire size in general that had him so concerned. Tire height and rims size would be the same as OEM.

Seams like most folks alter tire sizes regularly on their quads. Should I reconsider going 2" wider on the rear?

I’m guessing I got lucky but want to share this. Was ATVing with wife and friends in the Black River Falls trails in Wisconsin. Great trails by the way. More than enough mud-holes to go around after about 5" of rain or so. Trails were closed then reopened. After riding through more than my fair share of waterholes I started avoiding a few. I hit a stump hidden from view with my right front tire. Darn near popped off the machine and thought I cracked my back. Went on about 15 miles and entered a road route. Machine seemed to pull to the right. Kinda forgot about the stump. Thought it was just the road. Another 20 miles back on the trails and we were back on the blacktop of our hotel. It was then I noticed the tire was loose from the rim. No air in it. Thinking back, it probably pooped loose at the stump. I could see absolutely no sign of damage to the rim or the tire. It had no air in it, yet it rode fine. I had hit speeds up to about 40mph and never noticed a problem. Went to a gas station for air (one block away) it took air right away but did not seal at 4.5 lbs. I could see a gap lager than the others from tire to rim. 20 minutes later it was airless again. Friends with, advised to add air up to 35lbs. to get a seal. It seemed to make a good seal again. Let air out to recommended pressure again. Road another 30 miles with it and it held fine.

I figured there must be sand, mud and water inside the tire so the next morning I took it to a nearby ATV shop who removed the tire for inspection of it as well as the rim. The darn thing was dry and clean inside. No rim damage at all. No tire damage found. Just didn’t make sense.

I figure I road at least 35 miles with no air in the tire and never noticed a change in the ride except for the slight pull to the right on the 1-2 mile strip of pavement. Anyone else ever have this happen. Are the tires designed to do this. Or did I have an unknown heavenly passenger riding with me. Maybe a bit of both?

Thanks to all those who responded when I knew not, what tire to buy. I love these tires. Wisconsin winter, ice, snow and summer!

Which tire would be best in mud
27-9-12 black mamba lites or 28-10-12 vampire edls

Alright guys summer is here and hay season is in full swing so I’ll make up some money to start moding my rancher lol. First thing I plan on doing is the sra gear reduction and possibly a clutch kit. Next is my wheels and tires. This is something I’ve been switching back and forth between for months. I think I’ve narrowed it down tho. So here are my choices- 28x9x14 mega mayhems/14" msa vibe black wheels or 28x10x12 silverbacks/12" msa battle wheels. What do you guys think? The back would be awesome in the mud but the mayhems more than likely would too and wouldn’t beat me to death on the trail. Ps I ride 70/30 trail mud while riding back roads but 40/60 trail mud around my house. So what do you guys think. Also I’m going to Colorado this summer to ride in the mountains. Thanks guys!

SO I plan to go with 27x9x12(front) 27x11x12(rear) mega mayhems, already have an HMF exhaust, HMF tuner, and K&N intake. My bike is a 2014 rancher IRS. Wasn’t sure if i wanted to do the SRA GR, or I would be ok with out it, and would it be worth it to do the SRA GR, and then do 28" mayhems instead, need some input before I drop $1000 on tires

Well cleaned the rinny up today and decided to take some pics with the new wheels and tires. What’s everyone think?
