Tires for Xplorer

I have two Xplorer's 1997 and 2000 both 400 CC with AWD. They both have the original tires and they are all really worn out. My main use for these is on my hunting property where there is everything from Ceder swamps to high hill country. I like the tire configuration but there is not much grip left.

Can anyone recommend a tread pattern/size/manufacturer and possibly where to obtain?

Happy New Year!

Sportsman 500 fan running while plowing.

Just wondered if there is something I should look into since I have noticed the cooling fan running while I have been plowing. I only notice it when bending in front to change the blade angle, so don't know how long it is on.
The first few times were in the 20'sF but yesterday it was under 8F and could also smell a touch of antifreeze. In the summer, I can hear it kicking on and off when going slow on trails, but didn't know if it is common for this to occur when it's so cold.
Also, the coolant reservoir showed full, but the level changes when engine is cold vs hot.

Thanks!

How to keep quad from freezing

Does anyone have any tips or tricks to keep your atv from freezing without a heated shop?
I store my quad in a shed but use it a few times a week but all my buttons freeze and I can't start it should I put dielectric grease in the buttons??
I have a 1999 sportsman 335

Wasnt there a recall for heat issues?

I've been away for a while but I thought a few months ago I read there was a recall on (some or all ??) 570's for the right side heat issues. If I remember right it said that dealers/Polaris would be contacting owners. I figured at the time I would wait until I heard something instead of just dragging mine in. I bought 2016 570 brand new last summer just before the 17's came out. Is there a recall for these and if so shouldn't someone have contacted me. Just curious, thanks
