These tires seem pretty good? anyone used them yet? if so are they better than stock Sportsman Tires? They look more aggresive.

Have not tried the tires yet, but from the tread design it should be more aggressive than the stock tires. Waiting to see if the sizes are actually what they say they are first.

They stock on the 2001 500 Scrambler 4x4. They seem fine to me, but I don't have much experience with other tires.

The 489 XT look much better then the Titan AT that come standard on the Polaris machines. The XT have a slightly better tread design, and are also 6 ply rated. The AT are only 2 ply.

I love the way my stock titans work, but they punchture too easy. These new XT's look to be a good choice.

very good choice it seems for someone looking for a little more than stock but way less than say a Vamp type tire. I have found my replacement tire.
