2019 Brute Force 750 on OEM tires

[SirSniffAlot]

My dad bought me a used Brute Force 750 and I mostly use it for pushing snow around.
Took it on some 50inch trails and quickly realized those DURO 2ply tires have sidewalls softer than butter. What a bummer.

Was just plowing the driveway, then thought I'd cut loose and do some donuts in 2WD.

Well, I hit a slick spot where the snow had melted, and that thing rolled a good 80 degrees!

I threw my leg out and thankfully stopped it from going belly up. Maybe that 54inch blade acted like a stabilizer and saved my bacon.
Luckily, it rolled right back onto all fours. I even pushed my luck and got my BF up to 60 mph once (yeah, totally stupid with those stock tires). Definitely learned my lesson there!

Glad that you're okay! this is like, a great lesson learned without major injury, which is always the best outcome. If you're going to keep pushing snow and hitting trails, a tire upgrade is probably next on the list. Look for tires with a higher ply rating and stiffer sidewalls for better stability and puncture resistance.

Oh man, I feel you, did something similarly stupid last year. The stock tires are crap, get 6 or 8 ply ones and start enjoying your 750

I'm partially in the same boat as @Theenforcer1. Did something stupid as well, so a new pair of tires should be the first thing people do with these bikes

I had a pretty close call with my friend's old Grizzly not too long ago. We were out there plowing some snow, just having a little fun, when we hit a slick patch of ice mid-donut. The whole thing tipped over pretty hard. Just like you, I managed to throw my leg out and keep it from going all the way down. Those stock 2-ply tires can really give you a scare with how flimsy their sidewalls are. Since then, I've been super selective about the tires on anything I ride. I'm glad you and the Brute came through it all right

I totally get what you're feeling. A few winters ago, I was at my cousin's place helping him clear his long driveway with his old Kodiak. It was exactly the same, I hit a slick spot while making a slow turn, and the whole thing started to tip. I jumped off the high side and somehow managed to keep it from flipping over. Those stock tires are just too weak under pressure. I switched to a set of ITP Mud Lite XTs the following week, and it's been running great since then. I'm really glad you made it out alright too

The previous owner of my 650 had a similar story with the oem set of tires and after a while he replaced them with maxis bighorn and says that they're lightyears better than the factory ones. Might consider them.

Also, glad you're okay and got away unharmed
