Has anyone experienced problems with Mud Lite XTR tires that seemed to have a twisted belt? Tire sets up steering wobble that only grows worse with speed. Have had them remounted and the rim is straight, still no joy. Mounted on 2019 Sportsman XP 1000. Tire is 27x9x14.

Jack the wheel off the ground and put a block of wood real close to the tyre and then see if the gap changes as you turn the wheel.. You'll only be able to check from knob to knob but it might show up an out of round or a bulge.  Try the same thing at both sides to check for side bulges.

Sorry to hear about the issues you've been experiencing with your Mud Lite XTR tires. It sounds like you've already tried remounting them and checking the rims for straightness, but the steering wobble persists. It's possible that there could be a problem with the tire itself, such as a twisted belt, which can cause these types of issues.

In this case, you may want to consider reaching out to the manufacturer of the tire to see if they can help you diagnose the problem or offer a warranty replacement if the tire is found to be defective. Alternatively, if you purchased the tires from a dealer or retailer, they may be able to assist you with resolving the issue.

If the wobbling is severe or affecting your ability to safely operate the vehicle, it's best to avoid using it until the problem is resolved.

      Trail Tire Valve Replacement
      By Gwbarm
      Have you ever been on the trail and your tire valve goes bad. No way to break down the wheel and replace it. A lot of you probably know about this already i had heard of it but never used one. Just punch out the old one insert and tighten down the nut
       

       

       

       
      So far it has worked very well.

      Cheap tires
      By P_syko
      Are the cheap tires from Amazon any good? I know nothing last forever, but don’t want them to dry rot in a year.

      1996 Polaris Sportsman 500 4x4 Issues with high gear
      By Sportsman500guy
      I bought a 1996 Sportsman 500 4x4 about a month ago, and I love it. Unfortunately, I've been experiencing a few problems with the high-range gear. The first problem is that the gear selector will intermittently pop out of high and into neutral. This problem will sometimes occur when starting from a stop and sometimes will also occur while at cruising speed. The last time this happened I stopped and put it back into gear, however, as soon as I tried to throttle the machine would die. I turned it on again with no problems put it back into high and it died again. Once again I turned it on with no problems put it into low instead and it worked fine with no problem. I drove in low down the road slowly for a little and then shifted back into high with no issues. 
         I plan on working on it this weekend and would just like some opinions or feedback from anyone who may have experienced these problems before. I'm very mechanically inclined but im unsure of exactly where to start as this is the first Polaris ATV that I've owned. Any feedback is appreciated and thanks in advance
