1000 bucks each!  I’ll limp home on a flat.  Centripetal force will keep a flat ATV tire alive to get you home. They only need about three or four psi anyways.  I was about to buy a tire repair kit years ago and the shop owner told me about this. Works.

 

That's IF you can find them...  PS: These don't need ANY psi or centrifugal, they only need replacing when you eventually run out of tread.

You can run 6 ply Kenda Bearclaws completely flat as a cheaper "poor man's tweel" alternative. I put them on my 450 Grizzly with no air and rode with 4 "flats" a few miles around my neighborhood just to see how well it'd work, I could barely tell they had no air in them, they'll get me out if I need them to, the sidewalls are burly enough to keep the tire round, even sitting still.

Worked well enough I tossed 4 onto my SidexSide too, and even being 500lbs heavier, they actually still run without air on the SidexSide too just fine. Just can't tear around corners and pop the bead. Slow and steady no problem.

$350 vs $4000. I'd take the tweels if I had the cash. But the poor man's run flat works ok too. 😋

Only downer is that because it's based on the military version, of course it has to be different and the bolt pattern on the hub is different so I'd have to get four new hubs as well as the wheels and tires... easier just not ride it.. LOL

I mainly bought if for when I was travelling longer distances, like out at Rye etc.. .now that I'm staying closer to home I should covert it to normal tires.
