I will agree www.4atvtires.com is great to deal with. They are a bunch of East Ky. Good ole boys! I have bought many tires from them. www.tireunlimited.com is pretty good, they are 50 miles away from me!

 

Man, after calling about 10 places this morning I have had no luck locally to find 26" tires at a decent price anyways.... The dealers are outrageous and no one else seems to carry anything over 25" or not the brands I am looking for. Guess it will be www.4atvtires.com then. Hopefully they can get them here to me fast.

Now the question is 26 or 27? It is only $22 more for the 27's.

 

27" inchers might be fun but the 26'ers are awesome and they steal to much power at all. 4atvtires.com should have them in stock and get them to you quickly and you could always pay a little extra for faster delivery.

 

Alway had good, prompt service out of www.4atvtires

 

So.... Get 26-9-12 on front and 26-12-12 on rear. That is correct, right?

 

Well I hope I can get them by Wednesday of next week. I need to have them mounted by Thursday night. Anyone ever done this themselves?

I got the 26-9-12 and 26-12-12.... Can't wait....

Nyroc has some instruction on his site about changing the atv tires. Look at his signature for the link.

Call me lazy but for $8 each tire, how could you go wrong. Try les shwab, discount tires, big-o, etc......

 

I'd check out atvnorth.com they have some killer prices on tires. Looks like they're a little cheaper overall than 4atvtires. Both are great places to deal with in my experience.

 

If you can't change them out yourself, go to most any farm/ranch supply store. They usually do tire work fairly cheap. They have experience with the low pressure tires, like those of an ATV. I did mine on my neighbor's Harbor Freight bench top tire changer .

 

The reasons I change my own tires are:

1. I do it often enough that it would become a cost issue.
2. The tire store machines have a tendency to do more damage to the beads (and rims) than I do.

You would need:
1. A compressor with a big tank (lots of air to seat beads).
2. High flow tire filler attachement.
3. A bead breaker. I made mine, the cheap ones bend. There is a picture of mine in the "general stuff" are
4. Two of the Good ATV tire irons. Sucks with one.
5. A ratchet strap.
6. Brush and Dish soap for seating beads.


It obviously isn't cost effective if you don't already have most of this tuff.
I had scrap steel laying around and made the bead breaker when I was bored. I love it, It is awesome.

POP goes the bead. I like the sound. I even popped dunlops off a week ago.
