Beautiful machine. Trying decide on the foreman or the rancher. Not sure which one to get. I think I might go for the power steering though. Sounds like it's worth the extra $300 or so. Enjoy the bike.

I have the same exact machine including the color. I went trail riding with a friend that has an 08 Rincon 700 with no power steering. I drove his for about 10 miles. I missed the power steering immediately, and although the ES gets quite a bad rap, the automatic up and downshifting on the Rincon made me feel less in control. I was very happy to get back on my machine!

Pretty well every aftermarket ATV tire is a 6ply, I like the Mudlites myself "AT" for general trail riding "XL" for low traction trails and "XXL" for hard core mud going, but any 6ply will be a improvement for sure.

I really like the Maxxis Bighorns, but they are just too expensve. So far I have given my stockers hell and they are holding up. I am hoping to get a couple more months out of them before I upgrade. Need to catch up financially

the mud-lites are a good tire havent heard of any problems out of them can be a little pricy if you decide to go up in size but thats with any tire. if you wanna save your stock tires you should feel them up with slime i busted my back tire 2 days ago and the slime sealed it up in about 30 seconds and havent lost any air since.

Yeah, I bought some fix a flat, but I thought about filling them with some slime as well.
