"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is David and I'm here to tell you about ATVs and accessories that go with them. One of the common changeovers that people like to do with their machines is to convert from a stock tire to something a little fancier, along with wheels also. Here's an example of a stock wheel. Basic black, works well, lasts forever, but some folks want a little bit more. So we do have optional wheels available. Some of our machines actually come with the wheels installed already. This is the best way to go if you decide you want to have this, go ahead and order the machine with the wheels on and you'll save yourself a lot of money. This is an example of an after market wheel. In this case it is a genuine Polaris item. This is aluminum alloy; it looks real nice, takes a nice polish. It's somewhat lighter than some of the steel wheels, but again, depends on what you're after. You can install tires of various sizes and shapes; you can even get radials these days, which really helps in more aggressive driving. The wheels themselves, after market wheels will range anywhere from a hundred dollars on up for the wheel. Tires starting at about sixty dollars and, again going right on up. So, your options are endless. Installation: installing these tires, some people can do it in their home shops, but it does require special tools and a lot of elbow grease. We here at the shop can install them on an ATV for fifteen dollars a piece, and we recommend you do it that way. We can do it quickly and easily and it won't damage your fancy wheels."
