Hey everyone...I have a 2000 Polaris Sportsman 500...I bought the ATV used and it has a huge tire kit on it..I'm looking at buying a set of regular traction tires (New or Used)..Any ideas for tires would be greatly appreciated...I have checked with various dealers and they want a pretty penny for slightly used or trade in tires....Any good ideas or places to go for the tires would also be appreciated...

Thanks,

Beef

Howdy beef...

Most of the "used" tires you'll find at dealers are basically new "take-offs" from folks looking to upgrade from the start. I've yet to find a dealer that will "deal" on these very much.

What size are you looking for? And what do you call "regular traction" tires?

beef, what's your plan for the tractor tires? There's pro's and con's with using tractor tires. ITP makes a tractor tire for ATVs. Or, if you've seen my '05 Sportman links, Super Swamper has some deep lug tires.

Well I don't want these other tires I have...I will look at the measurements and tell you what this pigs are. All I know is the wheels make the total width of the 4-wheeler about 52 or 53 inches across, so it won't fit into the back of the truck... I will answer more of the questions in the morning while I am at work grin.gif....Need to put the little guy a sleep...

Walmart carries some ATV tires,but I don't know if they are a good price?They carry Titan 489's if i remember correctly,which some ATV manufacturer's used to put on the wheelers for a stock tire.I have purchased the big tires from rocky mountain atv, but they carry alot of tires and their price is great!

The tires I have on My ATV are:

Carlisle Swamp Pros

Front:

AT27x10x12

Rear:

AT27x12x12

Would you guys consider these aggressive treads, I do by looking at them...When looking for other tires, what kind of tread should I look for that won't tear up my yard deeply, but be good enough to ride on hunting trails on..Is there a tire that would be in the middle of the "tire tread scale"..The other thing I am looking for in a tire is one that will allow my ATV to fit in the back of my truck..My father-In--Law has a Foreman and it fits in no prob...My Polaris with these wide rear tires does not fit in the truck..I think the back end of the ATV is 52" wide.. Any more ideas would be appreciated...

my guess is that you may also want to check your wheel offset being that it is a polaris. I believe that those tires must be mounted on new (after market) rims with a bigger offset to fit?????? So you may not gain a whole bunch of room by down sizing if you don't change the wheels also. I used to have the same exact atv with the same tires (size and brand) mounted on aftermarket 12"x7" wheels and a lift with heavy duty springs on the front for a plow. I'm pretty sure that the rims had about 1 1/2"-2" larger offset on each wheel to clear the muffler in back and the suspension in front. I can't remember for sure though.

polaris come standard with 489's. you can get those at a good price at most outlets. shade tree in big lake has those in stock.

I put 27 inch itp 589's on my grizz, I can no longer close my tailgate on the pick up, but they fit in the truck no problem.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
