I still have stockers on my Rhino and Grizzly and the rear tires on my 87 Yamaha are originals though I am going to get new ones soon. I can afford new tires and wheels, I just don't see the need for them the way I ride; if I do I will.

Still stock here. I'm going to run them for a while yet. If I decide to keep the quad for a couple more years, I'm going to upgrade tires and wheels. If I decide to get a new XP... I'll use the $700 - $800 towards the XP.

My dad still has the stock dunlops on his '87 mojave. He just doesn't really need new tires with what he uses his quad for. Me on the other hand got rid of mine as soon as possible.

Actually Polaris stock tires are Carlisle and are pretty good. I wish the ones on my bikes were up to their standards.

Since my last post, I put new Maxxis Bighorn Originals with ITP 212 Black wheels on my Grizzly and Rhino just to see if all the "experts" were right that I just "had" to have better tires than stock and that I wasn't realizing the "full potential" of my machines. There is no argument that the Bighorns are better tires, but for many stock tires will do everything they need and buying new tires before your stockers are worn out is a waste of money. It all depends on how/where you ride and the quality of your stock tires.

Yep, still have the stock Carlisle 489s. Not a bad tire. Both quads have around 1200 miles on them. Gotten us through everything so far.
