    New tires for me this year, the stockers suck (bias ply dunlops). They're way too flabby on a heavy utility quad. Gonna get some radials with more of a trail profile--I don't do any heavy mudding/swimming.

    I've been eye-balling the Brute Force 750....the 2011 is pretty plain-jane looking, but cool nonetheless.

    You might want to wait one more year on that. I have heard there is a 900 brute coming out.

    Before my rzr, I had a 750 and it was an awesome machine. I was looking to get one again when I heard about this. I can't imaging how amazing it will be with a 900 in the frame. :biggrin:

    Yeah, but man they are getting expensive...most 750's are in the $9000-$10,000 range now...OUCH! My 750axi is actually a single cylinder 722cc, but has more than enough power for what I do with it. I got it for $7800 OTD in Camo.

    Considering the 750 does wheelies and pulls a trailer full of wood, that's all I need. I think 60mph top speed is plenty on those wheels.

    I bet the twin 750 hauls the mail!

    I'm surprised that 1000cc ATV's haven't been out years ago--the technology has always been there. Simplified motorcycle engine, tuned for max torque.

    I would look at the Maxxis Big Horns. If I had a utility those would be my first choice. There are a couple companies that make a knock off version. Atv tires are about as expensive as regular car tires. The original Big Horns have deeper tread and are a little heavier than the Big Horn V2. Both are radials.

    Rocky Mountain ATV is probably your cheapest mail order place. They offer free shipping on orders over $100 and it even applies to tire orders.

    Yep, the big horns are very popular in Southern Az due to the rocky trails. I'm also looking at the ITP Terra Cross and Maxxis Ceros. We don't do any mudding, mostly trail riding with some rock climbing mixed in.

    Another vote for the Big Horns. I roll with them on my Honda Rincon. Awesome tires.
