Default Whats 1st- tires or plastic??

As alot of you know I just spent alot on mods for the p650. There are 2 more things Im looking at but dont want to spend the money to get them both just yet. (let my wallet recover). I found a good deal on a new set of Team Green plastic. (Im starting to get tired of the red after a few years.) On the other hand I need some good high speed trail tires. I have a new set of mudlites on type 5 wheels for mud and snow but they noticably take away power. I was leaning towards a set of ATRs. I was thinking how good that team green would look with the type 5s and stainless exhaust[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] But on the other hand I spent alot to get more power and the mudlites dont let me use it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] What should I do first. Dont tell me "ITS UP TO YOU" thats what my wife says[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] All opinions welcome. thanks

I have also considered getting ATR's on my stock rims plus some mudlites on type 5's for more aggressive riding.

I would get the tires over the plastic personally, but then again red is my favorite color.

Those type 5s really add to the looks of the quad. I can get the set of tires for $250 and I can get the plastic for $396. Both local with no shipping.

I ran ATR on my last prairie and run them now on my BF , if you are in to the fast paced trail riding they are on the top of the tire list , they are simply awesome, I would get more use from the tires than the plastic but team green would look good.

Ditto. You can always get tires, but hard to get a good deal on team green plastic....represent!

Well so far its 2 for tires and 2 for plastic. Thats not the overwhelming response I was hoping for.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Although both of you make good points.

I agree, tires will be around for a while.

Ok I guess plastic wins! I ordered it today. The ATRs will be purchased Monday though with money I paid for the supertrapp exhaust I am returning. It works great for some people but I must be the exception. So I guess I will probably still end up getting the tires first since they are in stock localy and the plastic has to be shipped. Thanks for all the imput.
