XUV tire options

[darkday]

Thanks guys, Tommy, by installing diff. tires can I eliminate the tire rolling off the rim? So as far as all owners here are concerned the all purpose tire is out and the 489s are ok to get as stock? Like I said the dealer had the all purpose, less agressive tire on his floor model and in person they didnt look bad. But I do believe if they filled up with mud, even from just a wet laneway they would turn into slicks. Mike

Yeah those all purpose tires would fill up and be uselesss really quick. I had something similar on my old 6x4 and any ammount of mud could get you stuck. Now it's a mattter of bottoming out before I get stuck with 489s on the HPX.

Hey guys, Im gonna order my XUV Monday and cant decide on the tire options. My intended use is trapping and yard work with some trail riding. Im not a mudder. My trapping will be on farm lanes, edges of fields ect. also some snow. The xuv at the dealers had the all purpose tire on it and they looked pretty good. Wondering if anybody had the all purpose tires and how they worked. Mike

Congrats on your purchase! I was sorta stuck with that question too. I test drove both. The bottom line is these units just don't turn sharp enough to damage sod. (I should say if you aren't trying to tear it up!) Under normal use, the 489's won't hurt your yard, and they will only help in those tougher terrains.

yea you would have to really be doing some rough riding to tear up your lawn with them 489's just as long as you don't lock the rear end diferential or put it in 4x4. other than that they are real easy on the grass.

Thanks for the advice guys. I will be going with the 489s. Mike
