I'm new to the whole UTV thing, in my younger days I had rail buggies, 3 wheelers, and dirt bikes. Now I wanted something with a more uses but still fun. I picked up an 07 Arctic Cat Prowler 650 H1 XT this summer, it came with a factory winch, soft top & doors. I've added turn signals (we can drive on streets) Eagle "72 snow plow. Now I'm in need of tires, going to start a thread on which ones I'm considering hope to see some feedback.

I will be purchasing my first UTV as well within a couple of weeks when I return to Az, specifically Apache Junction. I also rode motor cycles, 3 wheeler Yamahas'. Looking for a UTV club to join if there are any such organizations. Thanks. Don

Welcome to the crazy world of UTV's! I'm relatively new to this sport too. I spent my younger days getting high, listening to music and chasing females :P ! Good luck with the tire search. I use Discount Tire for all my tire needs. They supplied me with 30" Rocky Mtn AT's for extra clearance on my 08 Joyner T4 (see, I'm still getting high!). Have fun and watch this forum for loads of good info.

I've been looking for some tires also. The 30's you found fit the stocks rims or did you replace the rims also. A link would be great since I didn't actually find what you previously posted.

I bought my sled used and it came with extra wheels + 31" tires. They were too big so i dropped 1" and they just fit. Very happy with them but I don't get into sand. Won't be good for that but this opens up more options for tires. Good luck!

PS: I will post pics later

Thanks. I see the rims and the tires both Last question I hope didn't you have to have a smaller rim on the front so you don't rub the a-arm or are you using the same tire all around.

      Older Landmaster LM 650 Fuel Problem
      By Ed Michael
      My older LM 650 is blowing fuel into the air cleaner.  Any idea on what would cause this?  It is the Suzuki motor.  Not sure what model year it is.

      Cheapest UTV?
      By klm
      If anyone is looking for the cheapest UTV, with dump bed, winch, roof and windshield, I just noticed that lowes has the axis 500/ hisun UTV on sale for 4500 (at least in my area) They are $4500. ($9000 original). I have one - they have some issues, but nothing catastrophic. My biggest complaint is that it is under powered. Also the winch failed. They are still selling an extended warranty - which I would take, just in case. My guess is lowes wants them gone.

      What UTV should I buy?
      By Edelbrock
      So I'm interested in a side by side of some sort.
      Not sure what make/model to even look at.
       
      I would plan on riding on trails with very rough rocky terrain and plenty of mud. Maybe sand once in a long while. I like LOTS of power and drive fast, but also like a trail that is a challenge to get through. I think 4x4 would be a must. I like the idea of a supercharged engine, but I have never owned one, and would be a little concerned about long term reliability or expensive difficult engine repairs. If anyone knows quads, my favorite was the 2008 Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS. For dirt bikes, I raced a 2008 KTM 450 SX-F. So that gives you an idea of what type of off road stuff I liked.
      I don't like "utility quads" or "trail bikes". And likewise, I dont want a turd UTV. I want something that looks awesome and performs awesome. 2 seater with some cargo capacity at the minimum.
       
       
      Thoughts?
