goofieones,
I ordered them through a local auto tire dealership. Les Schwab tires. They are huge here in the west. But I just learned they get ATV wheels and tires as well, and went over last night, they will be in Tues. The set, plus valve stems cost $301.00. I went with the .190 because I was advised to. Since the Polaris are SO heavy, the other rims thickness would bend very easy, or so I was told. But after I have these and see how they perform, I may get another set for the Trailblazer.

Everyone who owns one loves it. Put a pipe and air filter on it and it will be a whole different animal. If you want to mod it out see RCR or HPD for the best stuff. HPD makes the lower steering bushing ( about $ 30.00, and around an hour to install ) Great Quad !!!

On the rims Ive been running Douglas 160's for a year and a half with no bends yet, I ordered mine from recreation tire out of dirt wheels and got them delivered for $165.

Best machine for fun I have ever owned, and for the money the best buy you will find.
My only two bitches are
(1) The trany is a little too wide and pushes your left foot out a little further then I would like. You notice it when rideing realy fast and jumping.
(2) The front suspension is way too stiff and there is no adjustment on it for Compression or Dampning. With the exception of those 2 things I Love it.
I might be in the market for a new 4X4 next year but have no desire to get another sport quad. The Scrambler is exactly what I need.
Fast as hell
Fun to ride
Plush ride for a quad this fast
electric start
and reverse

For me its the best one out there.

I have a 1997 Sport with just about every imaginable mod done to it. The only things I have left to do are the steel braided brake lines (I've got the lower set, now I need the upper two for my split brakes), remove weight from the fly wheel, and go to a race pipe. Trust me, it's wild and it hauls. Check out some of the older pictures I put up on my web site. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to get some pictures of it with the new Hot Seat dual rate springs or even to up date my website but you can bet that they'll be posted with in the month. Just click the link below my quads.
