I would like to get new tires for my atv, but not sure what to get. It has stock radials now that are at 40-45% of original tread at best.
I ride in a lot of different terrains, but I would classify it as-
35% sand trails
25% deep mud
30% grass or hard packed sand trails/dirt roads
10% water with hard sand bottom and maybe an occassional trip to the rockier trails of NC/Tenn/GA.
My wife is usually on the second seat and we do like the current smooth ride with the radials, but we do
not care for the handicapped ability in the deep mud to paddle our way through with this weak tread pattern.
Although this machine does a pretty good job at most attempts in most situations I know it will do much better
with the right tires.
Let me here some recommendations. Radials? Ply tires? Brands/tread patterns? Sizes, should I go to a 26" size?
And can I keep my stock rims for now, or should I just eat the big one and go with a wheel kit too?
