also I didn't want to sound anti-utility either. I would never tell anyone what to ride for their own fix of fun.

Let me preface these comments with the perverbial "everyone is entitled to their opinions"


I rode with a AC with the ITP 589's..And for the life of me couldnt believe the ruts he left while just trail riding.

Instead of having a sound check at our riding spots..how about a tread depth check?..nothing over 1 inch should be a good start.

Tread depth isn’t a legal issue, sound level is.

I agree with that 100%. I have been pulled over like 4 times by people pretty much because my quad looks fast. I went like 15-20 past this one guy and he yelled at me "SLOW THE **** DOWN!". I really dont see what his problem was consider I wasn't going fast and he was walking down a trail in the middle of nowhere. As for the utes recking trails-I dont think they really cause that much damage to the trails. Sports and utes are about even on the trails around here. Now sand pits on the other hand is where I think utes shouldnt be allowed to go. There have been so many times I go to sand pits and there are ruts like 8in deep making it impossible to climb it with a sport. They think just cause they have 4x4 they can climb it slow and still make it but instead they don't make it and reck the hill while there at it. I don't mind them on the trails but stay outa sand pits if your going to put it into 4wheeldrive or if you have big mud tires on it.
