I just sold my AC 500, the 30" Mudzillas had over 3,000 hard miles, they still looked new. Still, I won't miss em. They were good in the mud, but went around corners like crap. Couldn't tell if the sidewalls were turning under or they just liked to skid on turns.

Had a praire 300 with 2200 mies on original dunlap tires but were near getting replaced at the time I sold it. My current UTV has Maxxis tires and after 450 miles wear is quite noticeable. Most atv come with a cheaper tire that does not get high miles before needing to be replaced. Pavement is a real tire eater for off road machines. But as stated before the quality of the tire controls the amount of miles and wear you will get. Due to design most atv/utv tires wear out in the middle first, especially if you do not do any hard cornering and ride mostly on harder surfaces.

Tires do get worn down a ton faster on pavement, but don't forger that even doing all dirt and gras ricin, tires will still get worn down slowly. If the tires are worn down the middle more than the other parts, thats odd. I have never had that happen. Good luck

I guess I hadn't noticed the 500 missing from your signature. Looks like you must really like the new 700 diesel.
