My Hisun Vector E1 came with Carlisle Mud Wolf tyres all round. 230/80-12 on the front, 255/70-12 on the back. Fronts are rated 78F, rears 83F. These are very high ratings, presumably because the buggy is quite heavy with its eight large lead-acid batteries. Exact replacements are impossible to source in the UK now, so I'm looking for alternatives. Size-wise 26x9-12 and 26x10-12 are fine, but I'm struggling to find anything with a suitable rating. Has anyone else found something for theirs that works well?

Part of the difference is that the originals are road rated and so the vehicles are legal to register  and actually use on the road. Many of the std UTV/ATV tyres are specifically marked not for street / road use.

In the UK, the tyres need to be E marked for legal road use, and the vehicle must be registered and insured. The biggest problem I've found is with the load rating on the tyres. Factory fitted, they're rated for 424kg on the front, 487kg on the front (not sure what that is in lbs, but a lot!). There's nothing much available here that is rated for more than 200kg. The unladen weight of the vehicle is over 800kg, so that's probably why the tyres need to be so strong. 

I've ordered a pair of BKT WL-207 Wings, which are 6ply road legal, but only rated for 200kg. Will report back how I get on with them.

Those look great, but might not be so good on the hill here. It's mostly off road work mine is used for. Those look like bigger wheels than my 12" ones, too. I'd contemplate bigger wheels if it improved the available selection of tyres. So far the BKT Wings seem to be holding up OK, despite being rated lower than the factory fit Carlisles. They don't half make a noise on tarmac though!

      2016 Hisun 500 runs rough no power
      By CapnWalleye
      Just picked up a Hisun 500 that had shift issues (corroded fan gear) which I fixed. It also didn't seem to be running smoothly then all of a sudden it got worse. It seems to miss on both idle and when pushing the gas pedal to the floor and doesn't seem to be running at full power. I've been working with a local person who is walking me through some steps, but I'd like some input from this group as well. What I've done:
      - drained the fuel tank and replaced it with 93 octane fuel and added heet to help with any water problems.
      - replaced the fuel injector.
      - disconnected the battery (several times) to allow the module to reset.
      - set the valve clearance, both intake and exhaust, within specs ... intake was tight but exhaust seemed fine.
      - replaced the battery.
      - replaced the O2 sensor.
      Nothing has helped. Not sure what the next steps are, but would appreciate any expertise that can be offered here.

      Code Reader for Delphi MT05 Coleman UTV 400 Hisun
      By Homeowner A
      Is there a code reader available for the Coleman UTV 400?  I tried using the HUD ECU Hacker software and cables/adapters but no luck OBD to delphi 6 pin and KKL VAG as well as ELM327.  Will not connect.  I was able to get it to connect randomly a couple of times, but haven't been able to since.  I was able to clear and read the codes briefly.  I'm aware of the Tiny Scan 301 but it doesn't seem to be readily available.  There's a few out there but they are expensive.

      2013 Hisun 800 Please Help Wiring
      By Marie
      Hello, we recently got a 2013 Hisun 800 as a little project for my husband and I to work on. Turns out the guys before us loved the mud anyway. We have replaced the stator and now going to do the Rectifier but here is the hold up as seen in the picture. There are tons of wires going to the battery. I cant seem to find anything that shows what wires should, or shouldn't be attached to the battery or where these 2 plugs go. if someone would please take some pics or share knowledge to where they go I would appreciate it greatly.

      2022 Hisun Sector 550 eps. Power steering not working
      By A P
      Hi
      I have a 2022 hisun sector eps 550. 30amp fuse is blown for eps. Checked the motor and it’s fine. Opened up the controller and found a bad diode. Dealer wanted 500$ for the controller. Just posting this in case it helps someone. I couldn’t read numbers from the old one so just took a guess and replaced it with a 100v 3amp diode.
