You have 2 different aftermarket tires. You can't tell what size the stock tires were by looking at those. Other than kid's quads and the High Lifter editions, I think all of the new Sportsmans do have a 10" wide rear tire, instead of an 11" like the Sportsmans had years and years ago.

A lot of time you inherit a machine that the belt was already fixing to shred no matter what. Just blow out the clutches and check for excessive play on the 6 guide buttons on the front clutch plus see if the rear clutch sheath can be rotated easily and snaps right back with no grinding from the helix.

Excuse my ignorance but what is the (AT) model Sportsman? I would rather run the 26" tire if possible. Just a little extra clearance.

Great. Did the panels have more clearance for the 26" tires? I assume not. Sounds like 26" will work on mine too!!!

That's much better looking. I was going to ask what kind of tires those are but when I zoomed in I could make out TUSK on the front tire.

I've always ran Bear Claws or ITP mudlites. I am very pleased with these tires and feel like they work better than the previously mentioned.

Wheels look good. All you need to do is clean the plastic and floor boards to make it look new again..Everyone has a different thought on this but we used a couple different ones at the shop.ProtectAll and Plexus.Both are great to clean up used plastic. Some people even use Pledge for a temporary shine.
