I never realized how bad the tread was til I got my new 489's for the rear in the mail today. The 3/8" difference in tread from the old fronts to new rears,measured dead center on the tires, leads me to wonder if I will screw something up by keeping the worn down 489's on the front til I can afford new ones?

 

i dont think it will make a differnce. i'm going to do the samething. is it cheaper to order them because i see them for sale at wal-mart? and if so where did you order yours, i have a 06 500

 

wouldnt u know that no walmart by me has any tires for 10" rims!! i got them from rockymountainatv and am super impressed with their prices and service. i think they are $57 each....and shipping is free on $100 orders. Or else its only $7 under $100....so I stocked up to take advantage of the free shipping!

 

that is much cheaper than wal-mart they are $80 a peice! i guess i know where i am getting mine from thanks.

 

hey fed how do ya like the 489s? i have a 2000 trailboss 325 and it has the 489s on it i think they are stock tires. i was just wondering how u liked em on the 4x4 i do alot of trail riding on them and also use it for hunting quite abit it seems to do ok with these tires never been stuck so far. did the scrammy have these on stock? just wondering because i was thinking about switching mine.

 

takin the bike out for the first time with the new rubber...ill let u know....they were stock, but they are supposed to be some of the best AT tires out there

 

i have had mine in the woods a few times no problems. only had it trail riding twice but seemed ok. let me know what you think about em. thanks alot

 

I have 489s that came stock on both of our 4x4s. They do a really great job for a stock tire. I haven't got stuck yet. My son once. And, we get into some really nasty stuff.

 

The one thing you have to be careful of on the Scrambler is using stock size tires. The fronts are bigger than the backs but the gearing is set up so that they cover the same amount of ground at the same time. (The rear wheels have to go faster than the front). So, it's very important to stay stock size in this case with the 4x4 Scrambler.

 

well....i did get stuck today but i was pushing the limits in a 2ft deep mud hole in 2wd! 4wd it wasno problem...great tires....took me up some steep hills in 2wd etc

unfortunately, buddy rolled his big bear at the top of a 250 ft hill climb, very steep,and watched it tumble to the bottom...totalled....broke his arm too....bummer...had to take him back to a hospital
