I dont know about your lug pattern but the plain black itp steel wheels that I bought are 42 dollars each...
Just over the 560 you quoted and this way you will have an extra just in case set.

If you find it, please let me know - I'd sure be interested. I found rockymountainatvmc.com that lets you add chrome valve stems and slime, but they don't appear to have the Kenda's you're mentioning available for my 2010 550 X2, and the Bighorns are running around $400 with rims for just 2 of them. I'd be all over 4 mounted wheels for $400...

I have a King Quad 25x10x12 rear and 25x8x12 front tires.
It may be that the Kenda may not make the tire for your size but I doubt it.
As for the wheels the lug pattern may not match so the lower priced wheels may not be avail as well. (you can call their customer service with questions)

I bought my wheels and tires in Aug of this year but as I posted earlier if you are not a primary mud runner you may be disappointed with this heavy mud tire.
It is ok on the trail but handles poorly on wet leaves and when the ground is wet and hard just below the surface (slides around a little in the front and the rear will swing around on you so you have to be ready)

That said the set of maxxis tires I listed below were 409 delivered. That is for all 4 tires...
You would just have to add the wheels + (slime and valve stem. 10.00 per wheel)

Tire size is another consideration and the larger the tire the higher the price.
I think the tires were listed around 65 each for mine for the stock size.

Kenda Executioner ATV Tire | Rocky Mountain ATV/MC

Click on this when you go to the link and see what units it will fit so you will have an idea and can discuss it with your dealer since they dont make this tire for your stock combo.

*****************See all machines the Kenda Executioner ATV Tire fits.*****************



Hope this helps and remember I got lucky with a promo code.
Cheaper is not always best and consider what kind of riding you do before you purchase a new set of rubber.

Yep - looks like prices for what my local shop was offering are on par with that website when I compare apples to apples. I could likely save $50 or so by going through this site, but considering the ATV shop is just around the corner from my house, they can have it all ordered and mounted before the weekend hits, and I have someone to blame when things go horribly wrong, I think I'll stick with the local shop for now.

Thank you for the input, Mr. Quad!

Looks like it'll run me around $500-ish for the 4 tires and one rim, and another $60 for mounting. I'm leaning towards not replacing the other 3 (perfectly good at the moment) rims until they need it - which would hopefully not be anytime soon with the new tires.
Your local dealer will most likely rip you off when it comes to price. I would recommend checking with Discount Tire Direct, Rocky Mountain ATV, or ATV Outfitters for a price on wheels/tires. Discount Tire guarantees the lowest price but I have also received great prices and service from both RMATV and Matt @ ATV Outfitters.

You should be looking around $650-$750 for 4 wheels/tires mounted and shipped......... most stealerships try to get $900-$1100 for the same setups.

Good Luck and post up some pictures once you get the new setup.

Also with the XP's you will need to stick with a 14" rim.
