Howdy..
I have a 2005 Honda rancher 350-ES..
It's full time four wheel drive..has always steered a little bit on the stiff side.
Was wondering?
All I do with it is trail ride and check cows and fences.
Soo ?? Do they make a single ribbed front tire ?
Be eazy to steer.. I really don't need 4x4 for what I use it for.

Ive forgot the cost ?
But it's been awhile since I put it on.. I've never put it back in four-wheel drive . Strictly two wheel drive now.. the shifter knob is stuck .
I was wanting single rib front tires.. but my original front tires are almost slicks now.
I keep them in the high side of air pressure.. helps make the steering lighter
I did buy some aggressive mud/rice tires on the rear . Bloody little thing will go anywhere I want it too.
It took awhile to get my bike set up , that's just about perfect for me
If ? If? I ever buy another bike..
I doubt it.. but if I do.. it'll probably be a 250 Big Red three wheeler........

Yes.. my brother has a new Honda 4x4 with power steering.. it's very nice.. but ,? Sadly I'll never be able to afford anything new again
Heart attacks and disability.. so I'm very low income these days.. still have the 05 and the 2019 4x4 rancher..
Bought the 2019 extremely cheap from my neighbor.. he had cancer.. super nice guy.. sold it to me at a very good price.. I miss him.. great neighbor.
But I've got my 05 set up pretty good now.
I so much enjoy the ES.. for us old folks is great
