I liked the wheels that came with the SE but Yamaha doesn’t say much about them like their strength rating. Since I wanted new tires I thought I would get new wheels too and sell the OEM tires and wheels as a set.
It worked out real well. The new wheels are STI HD6 rated to 1000 lbs and lifetime warranty. The new tires are Kenda Bear Claw HTR’s which I like on my Renegade 500. I sold the old tires and wheels for $575 and bought the new set for $700 delivered.
A petty thing I like about Kendra’s vs Maxxis is Kendra’s label is in relatively fine print compared to the huge MAXXIS stamped on Maxxis Big Horns.
