4 ply will definitely ride better and my question is what type of riding do you do? If it's rocky, more plys = more durability .

 

DOT certified is coming into play big time whether your street legal or not, whether your on or off rode so prep for that to. In AZ it's a fine for each tire, most but not all UTV tires r 8 ply

is this something new? I've been riding street legal dirt bikes for many years and now my RZR and have never so much have gotten a glance by a leo on anything other than my ohv decal in the dirt and never while on the street.

 

I installed 6-ply for peace of mind. Significant improvement in ride quality. Maxis Big Horns. Only issue is that the additional weight and slightly taller tire slightly impacted mid range power and acceleration.

 

I ride mostly hard pack and rocks. My Duro Frontier 6 ply radials provide a good ride while being really tough in rocks. 500 hard miles on them with no problems.

 

I took stock tires off at 5 mile. Got 6 ply 27' swamplites. Love em

 

Yea same here. I put 8 ply 26" kenda HTR huge difference. Great deal also. I found brand new aluminum le rims for $100 then shopped around for tires. Best deal was at a site called mudflaps.com got all four tires shipped to my door for $360. Then I sold my stock tires and steel rims for $400. Only $60 out of my pocket for great 8 ply tires and sweet rims.

 

we are running 26 inch sti black diamonds on 14 inch wheels and love them they have been great

 

I've noticed, while watching videos here and elsewhere, that Bighorns are by far the most popular tires being used. I have them and swear by them. The main exception to Bighorns would be the mud boggers and deep water enthusiasts. Ride safe,

get the 8 ply radial no matter what brand you choose, they are the best choice for any utv.
roctane, htr, blackwater, grim reaper, all good tires

five people in our group have had problems with the 2.0's, punctures and sidewalls

 

Pitbulls ain't bad either if you can afford the price & weight

I have heard the same thing about the 2.0s having flat problems. I put them in a 2011 sportsman X2 and have had no problem yet. I don't doubt that some are having problems with flats, I just think you need to take your riding conditions onto account when buying tires.

I am NOT a bighorn fan boy though. They are better than sfock, hut I think I will try somegjjng else with my next purchase.

I agree sidewall issues are a problem. This can be somewhat avoided by running adequate air pressure to keep them from coming off the wheel or from pinching flats, and driving awareness to avoid punctures. I think the lighter weight of the bighorns is a great advantage over the heavy 8-ply rated tires. I know many tire manufactures don't produce 8-ply tires but proclaim 8-ply ratings anyway. There is little control on this and it applies to all types if tires for all types of vehicles. I'm not trying to convince anyone of any superiority of the Bighorns, just that they are good tires worth considering. I ride all types of terrain and find them adequate, and superior to stock tires, in all conditions other than snow. Ride safe,

I have been running the Kenda Bear claw HTR radial 8 ply tires on 3 different sxs now. They are a huge improvement over any stock tires and I have not had one flat on them in over 5000 miles of usage. They ride much smoother than the bias ply stock tires and it looks like they project out to get around 4,000+ miles. The current ones I have on my 570 have 2400 miles and are still over 80%.

 

What size are your running on the 570 and do you have a lift? Any rubbing issues? Are these good for mud.

 

I use Duro Frontier AT 26" 6 ply. Yes I have a lift but I had these tires on before the lift and no rubbing. These tires are all terrain which work good in rock but not enough tread depth to be good in mud.
Right now I have my stock 25" CST 2 ply on just to use them up!

 

Just got a screamin' deal on a set of 4 new Sedona Buzz Saw XC tires, 26x11x12 and 26x9x12 for my 570. $390 installed, plus tax. I'll post a review once I get some time on them.Classifieds for Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming | ksl.com if you're local and interested. :ride:

Damn. Thats a great deal!

 

My buddy has two holes in his Bighorn 2.0s from running over palm fronds.

As was mentioned, I don't believe plies or ply ratings make the tire. That's certainly not my experience with truck tires or off road tires.

 

8 ply radials can be aired down to 4-5 psi, even lower with beadlock rims. for riding in the east coast mountains, it's the only way to go

 

I ran Big Horn 2.0s 26x9x12 and 26x11x12 on my 05 Sportsman 500 and really liked them. Great traction in snow, rocks, dirt and surprisingly mud. They wore like iron and were acceptable on asphalt when needed. I'm considering them again for the RZR but also looking at the Duro Power Grips as well.

Question: I ran 5 psi all around on the Sportsman. For the OEM Maxxis (LE tires) I'm running 9 in front and 11 in the rears. For the RZR, what are people airing the Duros or the Big Horns up to? I don't think 5 psi would work on the OEM LE rims, right?

 

Just ordered roctane XDs and ITP steel wheels. 26 inch. Lots of great reviews, we will see...

Just had my new Duro Power Grips mounted onto the OEM black crusher wheels. Got the tires from RMATV and was less than enthused about how they were shipped. That's another story. :sad:

Anyways, I reinstalled them back onto the 570 LE and consulted the owners manual for the torque specs. It said that for the Aluminum wheels that they should be torqued to 30 ft-lbs PLUS 1/4 turn. I've torqued them but want to make sure that the extra quarter turn is both correct and necessary. Those suckers were very tight when I removed them (had to use an electric impact) so maybe the 1/4 extra is necessary.:question:

Thoughts?:ride:

Torque them to 60 ft lbs.

 

Got the roctane rears today. 36 lbs. will post some pics when they are mounted. Nice looking tread with wide gaps.

Not saying that what I do is right, but I torque to 40 and have had no problems. Broken studs on ATVs is not uncommon...I think the book spec was 90 lbs On them.

I guess I should have searched harder on this Forum before adding to this thread but.. oh well.:shhh:

There is a 6 page discussion in the General RZR section about this and the Black Crusher wheels are mentioned:

http://www.rzrforums.net/general-rz...t/general-rzr-discussion/72598-good-info-regarding-torque-setting-lug-nuts.html

I personally went to 60 ft-lbs. and will double check them after each of my next few rides to confirm that they have not loosened up. I did torque them dry and clean but may add a bit of anti-seize next time.

Thanks for the responses.opcorn:

 

Besides doing the 60 ft lbs, I also anti seize the studs and wheel to hub mating surfaces. This is for the LE wheels, not the steel wheels on the base model Rzr .

 

I've been running CST Abuzz tires 25x8x12 on all four sides, the tires are deep tread, 6 ply and only weigh 17 lbs per tire! They hold up great and seem to work in all types of terrain.I also run stock RZR LE front aluminum wheels all around,(12x6) my total weight for tires and wheels is 24.0 -24.4 lbs. each.
