Im looking to get a new set of wheels and tires for the 700-4. I do mostly work around the house and some trail riding. I was looking at the 26" Big Horns because of them being 8 ply and also the tread doesnt look as if it will tear up the yard when turning. Anyone here ever run a set of those that may have some comments on them? I first wanted the Mud Lite XTR's because I think they have a good look to them but Im afraid they will be a little too aggressive for what I do and may eat up the grass on sharp turns.

Unless the changed them the BigHorn is a 6ply tire. It's a great all around tire (bigreds came stock with them) and wear good. Are you planning on staying with the 12 inch wheel size or jump to 14's?

 

[hoops]

are these the tires you are looking at?
MT-762 Bighorn

they seem to get pretty good ratings and reviews online,

I'm thinking about getting Duro Powergrips for mine. They are 6 ply, less expensive, and have a very similar tread pattern to the bighorns.

OOPS!!...I meant 26" Blackwater Evo's. Im going to stick with 12" ITP SS212 in black...I like everything Ive read about the tires so far, other than the yellow letters on the side. Hoping I can turn them around and they are all black on the other side.

those look pretty nice too, price is very good on them but I do like the idea of the Blackwaters being 8-ply.

I was concerned when reading through the reviews, some of the reviews are pretty bad, bad enough to have me looking elsewhere. But there are a good amount of positives ones:

the only experince i have is with them is on 600-700lb honda foreman 450-500 ....... i guess the tires cant take double the weight of the SxSs

 

[mike220022]

Thats what I noticed too from the reviews....seems to be a pretty good tire for an ATV for a great price. For a side x side maybe need to go a different direction though. Anybody know if you can turn the Blackwaters around and hide the yellow writing on the sides kinda like white letter tires on cars/trucks? I really dont like the look of that.

i don't take whats is in a tire review as law .....you dont hear the whole story ....you only hear that the rear tires failed ........but he doesn't put in that he was drunk and tried jumping a 30 foot creek with 6 people and flipped 7 times ......i would read that review ....lol

Haha, sounds like a **** of a time though!

 

[toodeep]

I would guess the yellow lettering is on both sides of the tire. A little mud will hide it.. lol Most of the time that coloring wears off in time so you might be able to scrub it off with a cleaner.

I added some new tires and wheels to my pioneer today. I went with 26x9r12 and 26x11r12 Kenda Bear Claw HTR ( hard terrain radial). I had a set of Polaris aluminum wheels that come on their LE models with a 6 and 1 offset. I had these tires and wheels on a rzr for about a 1000 miles but they still have excellent tread. The Polaris wheels have a 4 on 156 bolt pattern vs. a 4 on 110 on the pioneer. From Superatv I purchased a set of their 1 inch spacer/bolt pattern adaptors for $110. I measured the ground clearance at the rear skid plate before and had 10.5 inches. With the new tires I now have 11.5 inches so these tires are about 2 inches bigger than the stock tires. Before my speedo read about 1.5 mph fast now it reads about 1.5 mph slow according to gps. Overall I gained 2 inches of width. These tires ride a little softer than stockers and should have better traction.

Hey nice soapy, I didn't know they made such an adapter like that...slick.

These tires ride a little softer than stockers and should have better traction.

When you say softer ride, ya mean better riding? When I put the 8 ply radials on, we (wife and I) noticed a more firm ride that handles the bumps better than the stock tires.

I have no idea what a good price is for a wheel tire combo...does this seem fair?

It's in the ball park Rob. You can find better deals though. Is that what your looking for or just something you came across?

 

[robf]

More of something I stumbled on. I have a feeling I will be replacing the originals.
