I contacted Superwinch for their thoughts on installing a Superwinch LT2000 ATV Winch such a long distance from the battery and they suggest using 6 gauge wire.

We have a winch wiring kit with 6 gauge wire, part # BDW20307, that is 10 feet long. We also have a part # BDW20026 that has 24 feet of 3 gauge wire.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
