If you order some tires out of a magizine do they usually rip you off and send you some crapy tires that are the wrong size or something. Or iss the service pretty good.

I've never had a problem. I usually order from rockymountainatv.com for most my atv stuff. Never been hosed.

One thing to remember, tires as well as other stuff is heavy and could cost a lot to ship, so don't just look for the best price on an item, compare the shipping costs as well.

Sometimes companies inflate the shipping costs to allow them to sell products at a lower cost.

I ordered a set of Bearclaws from Chaparral and saved $50 from any price I could find at a dealer. The tires were at the house as promised within 5 days. Discount Tire mounted them for $10 a tire. I HIGHLY recomend CHaparral racing (Add in Dirt Wheels back cover).

I ordered a set of turf-tamers and front radials from nacs, not really knowing that the radials were made to have 18" tires on back, I didnt order a specific tire size for the rear, just igured they would set me up, but i did order the tamers grooved, they showed up, i had 22" turf tamers on 10" rims and front radials, the tamers werent grooved either
i sent them back, got 20's and kept them not knowing i should get 18's, oh well i guess.

Check out the post in "other atv topics" before ordering from Chapparal. I bought a full set of bandits and other parts from rocky mountain. They have been a great company to deal with.

You might also check out Cawood tires. They have some really good prices, too. That's where I got my MudBugs and ITP steel wheels.
