                                  Corona, CA (8/9/2013) - 
                                    STI Tire & Wheel had the opportunity 
                                    last week to become the first aftermarket 
                                    company to bolt tire and wheel products onto 
                                    the new, 2014 Yamaha Viking 700 side-by-side.
                                  We were invited over to Yamaha headquarters in Cypress, California. We brought along a set of 28-inch Roctane XD tires mounted on HD2 wheels (4/110 bolt pattern, 5+2 offset - same as the Yamaha Rhino). The lug nut studs are 12mm so we used STI Lug Nut Part # LUG8, which is a 12mm x 1.25 tapered lug nut.
                                  We learned that 28” Roctane tires can 
                                    be used with no clearance issues on the Yamaha 
                                    Viking SxS
                                  With the Roctanes and HD2s in place, the 
                                    new Yamaha Viking looked good. Real good. 
                                    This UTV comes stock with small tires and 
                                    plain, black steel wheels. Upgrading to STI 
                                    makes a massive difference in appearance.
