Always use the same size and type of tires recom-
mended in this owner’s manual. The tires that
came with your Rhino were designed to match the
performance capabilities and to provide the best
combination of handling, braking, and comfort. It is
best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that
is not possible, you must replace the tires in pairs
(front or rear) with tires of the same size and type
as the originals. Never replace just one tire.

fect handling and stability. This can cause a
