ATV Nonpneumatic Tires

TMW - 3-28-2014 at 12:17 PM

The Polaris Sportsman WV850 uses a nonpneumatic tire with a honeycomb design. This tire has been posted on Nomad before as a possible car tire. Now it's in use. We'll see how good it is over the long term.

Funny Goat, a Hummer with no-flotation tires... what a joke... but so is lowering a 4WD into a street cruiser.

TW, that looks great... The biggest pain with my kids' Kawasaki 110 motor bike was the constant flat tires it got.

Replacement tires for the WV850 are $1000 each!!! My local dealer got one in and it sold right away. $15,000!!! That's a pricey ATV. It would be good for Baja if you are not into going real fast. 2 gas tanks and a winch come standard.

says the military tested them by shooting them with an AK-47. wonder "who's" military that was :?:

When I found this valueless screwdriver in my quad tire many miles from home last week, I just pulled it out, put in a plug and rode it home on the air that was still in the tire. I figured I saved $13,000.00 on the quad, which I can afford to spend on tire repairs and a tanker truck full of gasoline. I rarely encounter automatic weapons fire in the course of my recreation and this was only the third "flat" tire on a dirt machine since the 70's. I think I'll continue to risk it!!!
