Way off - I run 6 - 8 depending on the type of riding, i.e. hard or soft ground.
Ooops! Wrong quote; I meant to include the one that said tires were rated for 36psi.
Does anyone have a 2-up atv? We are looking at the 2015 Polaris 570 and 850. We are wondering if the 570 is enough for approx. 500lbs on the wheeler(2 people, auger, some gear). And towing a shanty behind, probably 100-200lbs. We are thinking the 850 would be a little better in some deeper snow with all the weight. But is the 850 over kill? Or would the 570 do the job? We just dont want to have to struggle in some situations! Thank you guys!
Thank you for the quick reply! That was very needed, we have been calling all around the northern part of the state looking for 850's. I still think that the 570 down the road at the Polaris dealership is the better option. What amount of snow/slush limits you?
We ended up purchasing a 2015 Can-Am Outlander MAX 650 xt. It really has all of the specs we wanted and more. Looks like it will be a great quad and definitely worth the money.
RIght on the chains fitting - the Polaris 500s with the strut suspension (don't know about the 570s) do not have clearance between the tire and strut for chains. No the end - you can use tire screws up front. To be honest - I would never go back to chains, not after using ice screws. And I would not go smaller than a 500. You get into some snow and slush you will need the power of the 500 - not to mention they have bigger frames with more ground clearance. Also, get a winch and be prepared to "pull" yourself out.
We couldn't get the grizzly because it doesn't legally hold 2 passangers. They don't make a 2 up machine.
