Well my used 2014 700i I noticed the side wall on my rear was patched on the sidewall and is leaking. Also front right is worn really bad. Thinking all new tires I guess which sucks as the other two are fine.
They are maxxis and I can't find the same ones so I can't just replace the two so looks like I'll just replace them all.
Any suggestions? I don't want to pay too much.

I found good prices on SunF tires both on e-bay & amazon, they have several different tire patterns, I got this set of street tread for $255 shipped, every other street tread tire was at least 75% more

Yeah thanks, I just went with the same brand SunF and got the All Terrain for 245 out the door. Bought a tire changer from harbor freight so looking to do it myself. Haven't done it yet but I feel confident lol.

Good looking tread pattern on those offroad tires, are they 6ply? What about the weight of the tires? The big horn impressed me as they were the lightest weight 6 ply tire out there. But if only a couple pounds than that wouldn't mean much.
-
Thank you, yeah I thought they looked alright for what I will be using them for. They are 6 ply but I am not sure about the weight. Shipment weight for all 4 is 40lbs haha but I know that doesn't help you out much. Here are the specs listed.

Size: 25x8-12
Position: Front
PLY: 6
Tread Depth(mm/in):21.00/0.83
MAX P.S.I: 28

my new tires are much quieter and smoother on the road, they also handle the corners much better on pavement

Looks good! I just got mine done yesterday, much better. Sucks one of the rubber covers for the axle nut is missing. Probably damn near impossible to find one.
-
I still have the rubber covers, but the centers of the Yamaha wheels are smaller diameter and do not fit on the wheels that are currently on my 450i

I'll buy them from ya! Lol.

So already have pickers stuck in my tire... slow leak in another... seriously so easy and they get punctured. 6 ply I need like 20... what tire pressure does everyone use?

Should be easy to order one thru any dealer, check the Kymco website for a parts listing and give that number to the dealer for ordering. I have done that with no issue, and they also tell you what the part sells for so the dealer can't rip you off. Now for the tires....punctured by a thorn? Do you have really big thorns? Is the 6 ply on the tread only? What about the side wall? Where was your puncture? Sorry for so many questions but will be looking at tires for mine soon.
-
Yeah pretty decent size thorns. And they are 6 ply, punctured in both tread and tire itself. Nothing in the sidewall I could see. Ice tires but that seems a bit crazy to have thorns give me a flat but as others tell me that's common I guess it might be and I shouldn't be going far off the path like that

But just wondering what pressure everyone runs? Manual says 10 front and 14 back. I usually go by manual as I read when I owned motorcycles that you should go by manual not by tire. Seems strange as you might change tire and size so things would differ? For these ATV wheels I wonder if 10 and 14 and too much... maybe do a 10 - 12 or something?

Nice looking Tires.
Who did you get the tires from?

I also follow mfgrs instructions, on my quads I only ran 4-6lbs, but on the SxS my fear is rolling the bead off of the rim if to soft. The 450 also has 12" wheels where the atv's had 10" wheels. I know some of the guys I rode up north but had 6-8ply tires and bead lock rims but not sure what pressures they were running. At the speeds we were going thru the trails, a blow out was of concern for me!!
-
Yeah I am running 9 for front and 11 in back right now. Going to see how that works for me.
As for the tires, I found them on Amazon and paid like 255 for all 4.

What were the dates on the tires you just bought? The reason for the question is it sounds like a really good price.

best I can tell from research, and lack of information, SunF is a relatively new tire company, manufacturing their tires in China, is that they are attempting to make inroads to the powersports tire market

I just looked as my SunF tires, the fronts were made the 17th week of 2017 and the rears were made the 5th week of 2017
can't get much newer than that

Thanks, Really Fresh tires they are, some motorcycle tires are hard to get that fresh at least the sizes I need.

Just bringing this thread back up. Had 2 flats this past weekend. I just HAD to drive that feeder the last 100yds in..... Cyprus knee got one while I was trying (and failed) to avoid a buried jagged metal drum. Went with 8ply Blackwater Evolutions this time around. Not too sure how the 450cc will take em but we'll find out.
-
a year later and not many miles on the SunF A021 tires I posted about earlier in this thread
my reason for buying them was the amount of street miles I do, and they do handle much better on the street than a conventional off road tread, no doubt about it
my rear tires are wearing well, still plenty of tread, front tires however are nearly gone with only 400 miles or so, 2 wheel drive miles, so it's all steering wear, I will post up pics later
they do surprisingly well off road, even with high, 20psi, haven't done much recreational stuff, mostly work

Here's the Blackwater Evolution 8plys I got. Going with 8ply I decided to stick with the 25's in lieu of 26's. The 25's are still an inch wider than the stock tires.
