I am new to posting on the forum, but I have enjoyed reading the forum for a few months.
I purchased a 06 500 AC auto about a month ago and was really unhappy with its lack of turning. It came with 25x8-12 and 25x11-12 badland XTR tires,the rear tires hook pretty good but fronts were only 7.5 in wide and would not turn. I read on the forum to firm the front shocks up and run higher air pressure in the front tires. These two things helped but it still was dangerous riding in the woods when throttling and turning at the sametime. So my thought was replace the tires and then I read it could void the warrantty, I talked to my dealer he said on warrantty claims he has to list the size tires on the bike but not the brand, So, I purchased two 6 ply dirtdevil II 25x8-12 for the front which allowed me to soften the front shocks back up because of the stiffness of the 6 ply sidewalls and the atv steers great and rides very smooth all surfaces. The DD II tires are very nice tires. I have about 100 miles on my atv and motor is starting to really come alive. Thanks for all the great tips on the forum
