I have a completely stock 570 and am looking to put new tires on it. Im looking at the Kenda Executioners. If i put these on in just the stock size (25x8x12/ 25x10x12) is it likely I'm going to break an axle? It needs to be reliable as I go up into the bush bear hunting alone. Don't hit mud holes if I don't have to and don't ride it other than around the farm and hunting.

 

Probably not. Every one said I'd be breaking axles when I put 30" Mudzillas on my Arctic Cat 500. 2,500 miles later, nope. Original axles have over 7,500 miles now. I have 2" lift as well. If you said you had a 1000 cc mud machine that was lifted, ok.

 

Only thing that will break axles on the 570 is cranking the bars all the way left or right and hammering on the throttle. Will trash fronts for sure that way. Ran 27's on my wife's 570 and that was the only time we ever popped front axles.

 

Exactly! When you see your buddy stuck in a mud hole, racking side to side on the handle bars, at wot, then you hear a pop...

 

The heavy thumb at full lock is the axle snapper.

 

What year? Polaris just recalled 10k of the 570's. Fire hazard.
