Polaris tires???

Two yrs ago, we purchased a Polaris Ranger (6 sitter). It is our 'work -horse', we use it for everything! But the tires that came with it are just trash.. We need some heavy duty 8ply tires.

Anyone have any recommendations of a brand or a place to purchase them..Do you have any experience with : ITP Blackwater , Korda K587 or STI Roctare XD ... Thank you QB

I have a couple of friends who are both certified Polaris mechanics who run
Mud Machine tires on their 4-wheelers

ITP is also a good brand

I don't know about tires, but would you buy another one? We have been looking at Rangers, both 4 and 6 wheel. Which would you get and why?

I have a 2012 ranger 800 XP. I need tires too.
I have used it a lot and really like it.

I briefly talked to my dealer the other day about tires he said they can run from 400 to 800 for a set but he was busy and couldn't talk about brand. Will try to follow up with what I find.

And for Molly.
I use mine for everything I don’t know how I got along without one. It is fairly good on gas and runs about 55 MPH. I go to the store with it and use it to haul fire wood from the wood lot. I have even taken it to church. I got a plastic windshield and a roof and a rear thing to keep the wind out. Mine also has a winch. The only thing I suggest is to get a safety glass windshield, with a windshield wiper. not a plastic one.

A place where we buy much of our snowmobile and ATV supplies is https://www.denniskirk.com/ It's a supplier you'll want to check for your tires.

Free shipping on orders of over $100.

Molly< we love our Ranger. We use it for everything. I use it more than dh. I am here more than he is. I use it for the bee yard, the orchard, vineyard, garden, animals and for just riding around the property. We have a dump bed and could be with out it. I am always hauling weeds, limbs, cones, rocks, soil, plants,bee keeping supplies. Yes, I would buy another one ... Dh will never be with out one..

Probably too new for the market and too expensive, but Polaris is now making non-pneumatic tires for the military.
