Can anyone tell me why ATV tires are so damn expensive lol.
Because they are luxury items, and not mass produced at the level car/truck tires are made. Plus, people pay the price, so why try to reduce cost and sell cheaper???
What do you want for performance out of the tires? Great snow tires suck for rocky trails. Great tires for durability in the woods and climbing logs suck in the snow. I suggest you buy for the predominant use and make do.
