Until you purchase new tires try some of the "green slime" sealant in your tires. My brother has it in his and the other day he tore the valve stem out and while the tire man had it torn down he found 12 other holes that the slime had sealed....

ahh yes Sten.....you are correct in what you are reading BUT the website is wrong. I had the same issue last month when I was buying tires for my Ram 1500 - I have 20" rims and I wanted a certian off-road tire. Both my dealer and the website said they were not available. I saw in the internet that some places had them. I made my dealer look more and he found them!

Unfortunately alot of manufacturing companies dont update theier site with small changes - just new products. It's the retailers that pay more attention to the details.......usually

Goto ITP site and goto TECH INFO then goto ATV PRODUCT GUIDE scroll to row 19 to the xtr's - goto the 3rd tab on the excel file and it will show ALL the sizes available

25x8R-12
25x10R-12
26x9R-12
26x11R-12
27x9R-12
27x11R-12
27x9R-14
27x11R-14
