I never run stock tires on my ATVs.Stock ATV tires are only 2 ply and have very weak sidewalls that can break the bead very easily if you accidently hit the side of a tree stump ect,especially if you are running low PSI.

I have aftermarket 4 ply GoodYear Mudrunners on 00 Xplorer 400cc 4x4.They are much stronger than stock tires and I have NEVER had a flat tire.I run 5lbs front and rear.This may sound like alot of PSI,however,there is a few advantages to running a higher PSI.

1.More ground clearance
2.A stiffer tire will result in a stronger tire,thus making the sidewall more resistant to bead breakage.

Now it may ride a little stiffer with 5lbs instead of 2lbs,but the trade off is worth it to me,

Bill
