Sorry to hear that about the ATR's. My 26" units are OK. Call ITP and ask for Ron in customer service. Tell him your woes. Let us know.

 

Rock,

How bad was your toe-in?

Scooby the tires should be left on the floor when making the adjustment. I have a scanned page for reference on my site if you havent seen it yet that shows the procedure for adjusting toe-in straight from the service manual.

 

Cam650,

four years ago I bought some ITP "blackwater's" and had the same problem. After speaking with a ATV tire expert, he said 3.5 - 4.0 pounds of presure is perfect for most atv tires, less chance of punture and softer ride.

 

Radials need a higher PSI than bias-plys do. Like 6+ lbs of pressure. Camo, I would check the toe in first and if that does not fix it, then you've got bad tires!

My Toe in was 1/2" in. I put the straight edges on and then measured just ahead of the tire, then 25" away from the tire. It was 1/2" inward. I opened it up until it measured the same at the tire and 25" away from the tire. I did not have to turn the rods much at all. Maybe 1/2 a turn each.
Under hard acceleration on hard pack it tends to dart side to side a bit until I level off. I think I need to adjust for it. I need advise on which way to go. Anyone?

 

therock, when it was 1/2" toed in how did it drive?

 

I spoke with ITP today and they are shipping me two new front tires. GREAT customer service.

 

They do have excellent service after the sale. I had two pinholes in the sidewall on one of my rears. I was sent a new tire and C-series wheel already mounted and ready to go at no charge to me at all.

 

KISSSOFDEATH,
Toed in it was very hard to steer. It's just a matter of finding my personal sweet spot. I would like a pro's opinion on what the characteristics are as you go in or out.

CAM650,

They have been the same for me. I got a new set of four.
