Aftermarket tires and rims
The tires and rims that came with your Rhino were designed to match the performance capabili-
ties and to provide the best combination of handling, braking, and comfort. Other tires, rims, sizes,
and combinations may not be appropriate. Refer to pages 8-44–8-46 for tire specifications and
more information on replacing your tires.1RB7A_EE.book Page 9 Tuesday, April 24, 2012 9:07 AM

Tire replacement
Always use the same size and type of tires
recommended in this owner’s manual. The
tires that came with your Rhino were de-
signed to match the performance capabilities
and to provide the best combination of han-
dling, braking, and comfort. It is best to re-
place 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.
WARNING
Installing improper tires on your Rhino
can affect handling and stability. This can
cause a loss of control.
