Sounds like they need better axles not !@#* tires!!! How much trouble do people have when they run big wheel kits with agressive tires???

My early 04' Sportsman 500ho has the Rawhides on it and I love them. I was a little upsed the the 04-1/2's had the fuel guage etc, but would rather have the Rawhides if I had to make a choice. They are great tires and work well in rocky steep situations. I probably have 600 miles on them now and the tread is holding up exceptionally well.
I can see where less tire weight would decrease rotating mass thus makeing them a little quicker, which may be another issue they are addressing. I know I felt like mine was a little doggy to begin with but either I have gotten use to it, or it is just running better now that it is broke in.

The reason for Polaris going to a less aggressive tire was to do there part in decreasing the amount disruption to the environment. The more aggressive tires tear up the earth more and disturb 'Nature'. Same reason why 90% of other bikes come with wimpy tires, Environmentalists are protesting ATV manufactures because of the damage they are causing to our forests etc. They are basically forcing manufactures to put less aggressive tires on. In some ways I agree but in other ways I love my Rawhides!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Heck my next set of tires will probably be a set of Mudzilla's!
