Finally in—my new RTV1100C

[tinsnip]

Just back for the dealer and signed papers for an RTV1100C. I ordered it 6 months ago(!). The Boss v-plow is also in and both need to be prepped and set up before they’ll deliver by the end of the year. I’m very psyched.

While there, I took a photo of the tires so I can order a set of chains for the rears (I live on a hill and ice will defeat any tire without chains). I noticed an image of a handgun on the sidewall and wonder what it means. Anyone know?

Thanks! I’ve been plowing my 1,000 foot driveway with an ATV for 20+ years and am now ready to be in a warm cab.

That's a strange marking. I have never seen it before.
My previous street bike had an elephant image where the tire transitioned into sidewall, which I always took to mean slow down.
There's no circle with a line through it, so maybe it's saying that it is safe to shoot the tire!

blow out risk for highway speeds. Basically non DOT approved.

Thanks. I thought it might be like that.

Very nice! The handgun image means you got the armored version, everything is bulletproof.

Bond. James Bond.

The gun is the tire brand. They are called 357 Mag or something like that? The full name is on the sidewall.....at least it is on mine.
I like those tires. They work well for plowing, pavement and trail riding.

Congrats. You will love it and the Boss plow.

Bulletproof tires!
