Default Not happy with Grizzly 550 stock tires and rims..

I've had my grizzly 550 since April and already have bent both my rear and front rims. Most were fixable but I did end up replacing one for $200!! It just seems like the stock dunlops are a little soft and the rims are made out of crappy aluminum. and I did inflate the tires a slight more than they are suppose to be. Has anyone else experienced these problems?

You paid $200 to replace a stock rim? WoW! You were almost 1/2 way there in purchasing brand new ITP wheels which have a life time warranty if the rim bends or breaks.

I destroyed one of the front rims on my Kodiak 450 and for $100 more than I would of paid for one Yamaha stock rim, I got a set of four ITP aluminum rims.

Default Rims

I have a set of stock rims that would fit that and I would let all four go for 100 bucks. You pay the shipping. 200 is way out of line for one.
