Default Best rims and tires to get? Thoughts?

Hey everyone, this is my first post here.... how are you all? =) I just got a 2006 KFX 400 and I LOVE the bike. My only issue is I want some new nice rims and I'm not sure where to start my search or what looks the best. Any ideas?

I ride in a field next to my house and on a 412 acre estate about 20 mins from me. Mostly grass, dirt, rocks and trails. Any suggestions for nice rims and tires for that type of riding.

Any suggestions for other mods besides the ones listed below?
- Pro Nerf Bars
- Hand protectors (not sure what you call those things)
- FMF Exhaust with silencer insert (needed it for the neighborhood)
- Jet kit
- New air filter
- LED tail light

I'm 38 and like going REALLY fast! Had some street bikes but got tired of almost getting killed by other drivers in my city. SO I sold them and went back to dirt. =)

I don't see any carbon fiber ones at ITP for a Quad.

Do any of you like these - http://www.itptires.com/sportatv/ss112sport.html

One thing that keeps me buying ITP is that they have an excellent warranty. You bend them, they replace them! Gotta like that. Just gotta work on bending one, it's tough!

I know exactly where you're coming from! Same here, 38, go too fast, left the streetbike scene for atv's. Not that atv's aren't dangerous, especially with my thumb on the throttle, but atleast it's likely my own destiny I'm making, not some idiot that didn't see me! LOL! But, I do miss streetbikes sometimes. Anyway, welcome to the forum. Post up some pics of your 400 when you have time.
