ATV Nonpneumatic Tires
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.

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.

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!!!
