[dustin85]

According to Wisconsin Law an ATV must meet all the following specifications;

*an engine-driven device

*net weight of 900 pounds or less

*width of 48 inches or less

*has a seat designed to be straddled

*travels on 3 or more low-pressure tires

*minimum tire width of 6 inches

*rim maximum diameter of 12 inches

Does this mean that the 2010 Sportsman with stock rims are not legal to ride in WI? I think they might have 14'' tires on them

You are correct, they are 14in rims. I will shoot an email to my DNR Warden friend and find out for you.

It is a rule but they dont enforce it is what I was told by a WI dnr officer.

The law changed in last December and they removed any mention of rim size.
