Can’t decide

I’m looking for new tires for my 13 scrambler 850. I know this has been talked about many times before on the site but I can’t decide.
I’m trying to decide between. ITP mega mayhems bighorns 2 or zillas.

I do mostly trail riding. I have friends with sport bikes that I ride with so fast trails and also friends with 4×4 so we do some mudding as well.
Just looking for opinions before I bite the bullet and buy a tire.

Wheel Bearings / Tires have play?

I’m just wondering how much wheel play there should be on a 2011 sportsman 500 touring. All four of my wheels have a similar amount of play. (Maybe around 1/4" top to bottom push/pull)

I was wondering if this is normal or not? I replaced my rims (STI HD3) and tires (Traxion Radical 26×9-12 and 26×12-12 Traxion Radical Tire – ATV Tires Canada) around this time last year.

I don’t hear any grinding when I jack the machine up and let them spin freely.

Anyone know what the torque specs are for the axle nuts? Do these become lose over time? Would this affect the play?

I don’t recall if there was any play on the wheels when I replaced them. I have a big ride coming up on April 25th, and was hoping to get some feedback before then. I’m away for work but will try to post a video when I return.

I hope I’ve managed to explain this well. It’s one of my first posts to the forum, but I’ve been a long time lurker trying to absorb as much as I can.

Thanks

2008 can am 650 outlander max cutting out

I am new to any forum. How do I view the responses I hope to get from everyone?
I have a 650 that after running for several hours begins cutting out. Usually at 50 plus miles or so. It almost seems like it isnt getting enough gas or enough spark.
Runs great until then then and then I limp home. I am able to shut it off wait a few minutes then turn it back on and get a few miles at a time before it starts sputtering again.

Sirius XM

If anyone has Sirius XM not under a lifetime contract, you may know that you can get 6 months of service for $30 (including tax and BS fees). This is the price they use to lure you back a few months after you cancel, and then they automatically charge you something like $180 for a year. Nah, I’ll take a half year for $30.

Anyhow, I just called to cancel and tell them I’ll keep the service if they keep my same rate. Oh yeah, you’re much better off asking where the person is located, and when they tell you they’re from the Philippines (not in), ask to speak with someone in the United States. They might give you a run around, but you’ll be connected.

So, I spoke with some connected to me by land who was more than happy to re-up me for $30, and I gave it a shot and said "why don’t you just give me a year for $60?" Now, mind you, I always ask this, and the normal response is sure you can have a year for $180. This time, they said yes, and I got a year for $60.90.

So, I don’t know if you’ll have my luck, but it’s certainly worth a try and I thought I’d pass it on. Hope it works for you.
