Ok, I know this is a over-discussed topic, but I have some questions about wheels and tires. I have a 06' BF750. I love it and I haven't really noticed any stability problems. I actually feel more comfortable on it than my 05' Kodiak. I read how rims and tires add some stability to these machines. Is it actually the tire or the offset of the aftermarket rims that accomplishes this. I would like to get some different tires, my buddies have XTR's and I like them alot. Just trying to decide whether or not I want to spend the extra $300 for rims also. I can see how a radial tire would resist flexing on the rim better than a bias-ply. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Factory rims are light weight aluminum even though they may look boring. Get a magnet and try to stick them. Any added, especially unsuspended, weight will adversely affect handling/acceleration of the vehicle. Radial tires make a huge (+) difference and are strongly recommended.

 

i put Bighorns on the stock rims. when i can afford or when i trash the stock rims, i will get a set of douglas/omf beadlocks with stock offset.

Off subject I know, but you fit a Warn 4.0 on a BF??

 

yea. easy fit. i used the standard winch mount. it just needs new holes drilled in it, and the fairlead mount modified.

Get 27" Mud bugs or High lifter's MST's they are the best tires out by far. Ask around on the High lifter Forum. Get a Moose module while your at it.
