I bought a set of tires that have nearly worn out in less than 500 miles. I have not pushed them at all no off road riding yet just easy riding on the street, to the store, bank and the like. I called the place where I bought them and he gave me the number for the factory. I called them and the guy I talked to basicly said to bad we got your money just deal with it. I have had 3 sets of tires on my t2 and none of them came anywhere this close to wearing out this fast. I got at least 11/2 years on the others. The tires are rated at 1000lbs. and they are DOT approved. I bought them because they were approved for the street. The tires in question are EFS Moto Grip A/T, made by Colorado Components. They are in Colorado but I could not find an address for them. If anyone is thinking about buying any tires that are made buy them I think you should maybe consider buying from someone else. This is one of the big problems we have as consumers, we buy American and then when there is a problem with whatever we buy we are told to bad we already got your money now take a hike. Oh and buy the way they are $600.00 a set. It would make me feel a lot better if just one of you went to someone else to buy your next set of tires.

That's too bad, thanks for head up about Colorado tires. Edelbrock did the same thing to me i bought their fuel fittings and then it broke loose on my project and caused a fire destroying the project. Edelbrock said too bad we have your money and won't do a thing about it

Quit wasting your money on the little boy tires. Get new 15" rims for roughly $100/rim ($400), buy some used 15" tires on Craigslist off a Jeep (I paid $100)(big boy tires) and save some money ($400+100=$500)($600-500=$100 saved). You will never wear out the Jeep tires. After two years my tires showed no new wear and the tread was half gone when I bought them. Also everyone that has gone to 15" rims say it is one of the best upgrades ever, including me!

I'm still trying to find decent 30" here for my stock rims. It's a losing battle.

Maybe u can get in surrounding country for better prices?

I just picked up my tires today they just came in store this morning..i understand rocmoc and other members reasons for going to 15" wheels.

For me i want the most tread i can get and no truck tire can match a ATV tire in tread depth as far as i know...

Those are 29.5" tall outlaw 2 tires for 14" rims. Treads are almost 3" deep on the edges

Another member advised me that id need spacers to run those but i don't think so....u9ypuve5.jpgyvy7yhyj.jpg

Nice tires man!! U won't need spacers I have 30" Zillas on mine 9.5 inch wide in front I don't have any issues. If its turned all the way at full compression scubs a little but that's it good luck

I was wondering how deep is your treads?

Hey my tread depth is about 2 3/4 when they were brand new slightly less than that now if that helps any. Also I dont kbnow if I mentioned it before to you but when you mount the tires blow them up to 40-50 psi try to let them sit for 24 like that It will stretch the molicules in the rubber make the tire a little softer and when you run the real low pressure it will grab the terrian better. I did it with mine left them at 40 psi for 2 days I run 8-10lbs in front and 10-15 in rear depending on were I go and how much stuff I got with me.

Awesome thanks,

Yes i heard about that inflating tire then letting it sit for hours before airing it down to let rubber molecules stretch from you on this or other thread.

I'm not sure if i want to do that with outlaws since its real low pressure tire it even said mount max psi 35 where regular tire is about 60 psi.

Also i heard it weaken the outlaw since its so stiff and 6 ply thick.

I think ill be calling highlifter (manufacturer)

      Hisun Axis 500 Problems - Hesitation, struggles to go up incline, and low speed regardless of gear range
      By AlphaSerenity
      Hello,
      Before I invest $10k+ into a brand new UTV for the farm, I want to get my feet wet with a fixer upper and learn the mechanical side of things. I acquired a 2022 Hisun Axis 500 (Lowes-specific model) from an auction for $500. It has only 200 hours and 120 miles on the engine. It looks like the previous owner used it for ranch work and didn't drive it on trails, deep water/mud, or anything too crazy.
      While it runs and moves, it has some problems. It struggles to accelerate up any incline in high and low range and sometimes stalls when I let off of the throttle or change gears. When I apply throttle in neutral, it sounds like it is struggling for fuel/air and pops. When I decelerate, there is a grinding sound coming from the clutch, which I've read to be related to the one way bearing and is semi-common. The last thing I've observed is sometimes the speedometer display sometimes will show a much higher value for a few seconds after barely touching the throttle. Based on the documentation, if a problem is detected from the sensors, the instrument panel display should have an error code rendered on the screen in place of the time, but this isn't happening. Here is a video showing some of these issues (engine is exposed with console removed):
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFAkO5TaGps
       
      Here is another video of the clutches in action:
       
      I've done some research, but information on this specific unit and sister units is limited. There does seem to be transmission and clutch issues reported. I still need to check into the head gaskets. I don't have the equipment to test compression right now, but I do plan on ordering what is needed soon. I do have an order in place for some cables to read the diagnostics from the computer. There is a shop two hours away from me that works on Hisun products, but I am hoping the problem can be identified and is something within my ability to handle. Below is what I've already investigated.  I am leaning towards the primary clutch needing replacement right now.
      After getting it home and unloaded, I did the following maintenance/checks to it prior to operating it further:
      Changed the engine/clutch oil (and filter) and gear oils using manufacture recommended viscosity Changed the air filter and checked for cracks in the air intake flow. Verified good suction. Cleaned the throttle body Changed the spark plug and verified the gap was within spec (0.6-0.7mm) Changed the coil and coil wire Changed the fuel lines, fuel injector, and verified the fuel pump was outputting the correct initial prime pressure for ignition and continuous pressure after ignition. Also completely emptied the fuel tank and made sure octane 91+ fuel is being used per manufacturer specs. Ran seafoam through system too. Cleaned the spark arrester and verified no cracks or gaps in the exhaust flow Changed out the O2 sensor Checked all wired connections to ensure they were secured and no breaks were visible Checked the belt for tightness and for any signs of wear and tear Verified 4WD and the differential lock function as expected - still hesitates and struggles uphill Verified the fan gears in the shifter are not corroded and working as expected ECU was reset after replacing sensors and fuel-related parts  
       
      Thanks!

      Axis 500 cuts out at about half throttle
      By mike28honda
      I have an Axis 500 and never had any problems until now,it cuts out 
      at around half throttle. I changed the TPS with no difference, acts like the seatbelts aren't set but can get up to around 15 mph as long as I don't give it too much gas, thanks for any advice

      Bennche bighorn 500 idle issue
      By Nick Varnes
      So I have a Bennche Bighorn 500 that I bought used a couple years ago. Was working fine until this winter when I was plowing and I think it drained the battery. And had a difficult time starting and staying running. Idle seamed really low, and would only stay running if I pushed on the throttle. So I changed the battery, and the acm valve, fuel filter and spark plug it will start up and surgery to 3k rpm but comes back down and dies, unless I give it throttle. I am getting fairly good amount of fuel from fuel pump.  It does spit at stutter right before it dies. What should I try next?

      Bennche 500, replaced stator no fire
      By Hoppy one
      I replaced the stator on our Bennche 500 because it was not charging. It ran as long as you kept the battery charged. I replaced the stator now it’s not firing. The only problem I found was a wire in the new stator for the crank position sensor was in the wrong place in the plug. I switched it around but still no fire. Putting a meter on those wires and cranking the motor showed no voltage from the crank position sensor. Something I did or a bad “new “ part? Thanks for any ideas.

      Best place to find info on Hisun or Massimo UTV's
      By Eman85
      I have been searching and can't find much info on these units. Pretty surprising as every other thing I own I find a lot of info on. Researching for tech info and such it's like no one owns any of these yet I see them everywhere.
