what would you all suggest as good brands for me to look at for good rims/tires for a polaris ranger 800.

Thinking about updating in the next 12 months and want to do some research now.


thank you!

I've had great luck with ITP Mud Lite ATs and ITP 589s on my quad. I'd highly recommend both. The Maxxis Big Horns are also a great tire.

thank you for heads up. I had a set of ITPs on my old 4 wheeler and loved them. I was hoping that was still a good brand for me to look into!

I like my Mud Lites if I'm not on my yard. Just turning they will eat some shit up pretty quick. They don't last long on pavement either. I usually have my stock set up on unless I'm going somewhere with it, then the big shoes come out.

that is a bad ass looking 4 wheeler! I don't ever take the ranger off dirt roads or trails. I do ride through the yard often so I wonder if these tires will just rip up my yard too much....hmmmm

Thanks! I wouldn't recommend them to you then. They are way more aggressive than what you need. The stock ones are Carlile 587, maybe? And they are pretty much worthless. Those are the only two tires I have recent experience with. ITP has always been a solid way to spend your money, if you can find something less aggressive. I've heard good things about the Swamp Lite.

That was about 2 miles back in the swamp. It only got hung up in this one spot that I had to cross my own path. Besides that, it just kept grabbing and going. It's stuck as fuck in that pic though! Lol, I pulled cable. I just figured you gave me shit because of the way the set up looked, I had a purpose for it at one point. It's overkill for what it gets used for now.

Back to the OP, these will fit on yours I'm pretty sure. If your close to my area, I wouldn't care if you tried them out. They've just been sitting in the shed for a year anyways.

Milo- 400-500cc Honda utility quad is all you need. Stock tires will work.

Yep. Get an '07 or newer with the fuel injection. The old Honda's are cold natured beasts and fooling with them gets old. The FI models are the cat's ass. My 2007 Rancher 420 was a great machine.

I'm going to look new probably. Don't plan on but another one for quite a long time. Long haul investment

I did that in 07. Bought an 06 with 300miles for $2000 less than new. Used it 7yrs. Sold it for $250 less than I paid for it. There are deals out there. My example is just to show the loyalty and resale in the Hondas.

Any of the Polaris XP models hold value real strong also, along with Bombardier. Hard to beat a Honda for plowing the driveway though. I've thought about selling my XP and buying something more practical for my use now. Truth is, you could buy 2 nice Honda's for the price of either an XP or any Bomb. Being in Ohio, I don't think there's much use for either of the other two rigs either. Would be like buying Razer to go gather firewood, better ways to spend the money.

Giles- No offense at all here. You named the two brands which would be last on my list. I know few people who have had good luck with either.
