Black Top ride
I've been seeing excellent ways in how to get the best performance out of quads, mainly speed. I have all the ideas but what I would like to have a hold on is performance on black top roads. I live in South Dakota and here it is legal to put plates on em and drive them on roads, like a car or bike. I want my V to run smooth but have some control. I know you guys aren't used to this type of topic but any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Most of the ATV tires have soft rubber that wears extreamly fast on Asphalt. Foreign cars have a few 12 raidials avalable. Visit your local tire, golf supply, or tractor supply for some street tire options. Note also that ATVs don't respond well to abrupt turns on asphalt. Nor do they steer that well under hard braking on Asphalt. Also, I Don't think the engine, radiator, or belt system was designed for prolonged 65+MPH 20-40 mile cruising, but , I have been wrong/corrected on a few ocasions..

Black Top ride
I suppose a wider wheel stance wouldn't hurt-> Spacers, DOT approved tires for sure, Shocks could be left alone, coolant line heat-sinks, possibly an oil cooler, extra large gas tank, what else????? Mobyguzzer had a neat tire but looks almost too slick, maybe if black top was the only terrian I would take but am not. This may sound crazy but I have some cousins in Iowa that have quads and I plan on driving mine there (over 50 miles) is this out of the question for a quad??
Still I can't see driving on pavement would be any different than driving hard on trails all day.
Thanks
