Jeff at the quad shop has used them. I don't know anything about them chewing up the sidewalls though.

13 of the top 15 GNCC pros are running Tire Balls this year. Myself, William Yokley, Traci and Rick Cecco did the testing for them last season.
Yes, they are that good!!!:clap:

Jeff what kind of price are we talking about here?

Can we install ourselves or do we have to send them out?

I think it is a grand and they are the installers only. They will change them from your old tires to your new though when they wear out... that is the best info I have on em... www.tireballs.com too.

They are $250 per wheel and you can install them yourself. They have an instructional video.

i imagine the tire balls would add some weight?but the advantages out weigh the dissadvantages it looks like?

Its very little weight at all.....maybe 1/2 pound a tire at the most.

Thanks for clearing that up Jeff, I had previously heard that they would only install them. Cool news, still darn expensive... I wonder if I could make my own... LOL.

The price won't go down because they are very expensive to manufacture. This is just like buing an aftermarket frame or shocks. You only have to buy them once.
