Which tires fit the 2014 Sportsman XP 850?
The manual specifies 26×8-14 front tires and 26×10-14 rear tires, each at 7 psi (48.3 kPa). These are the manual’s published sizes and pressure, not a guarantee that any tire carrying those dimensions is suitable for every machine or wheel configuration. Confirm wheel compatibility, tire load rating, and the correct pressure for the exact tire and vehicle before installation or use.

Where to find the owner’s manual and parts information
Owner’s manual
Polaris’s 2014 owner’s manual is the controlling reference for safe operation, fluid specifications, inspections, and service procedures. A parts fiche from Midwest Polaris lists a physical 2014 Sportsman XP EPS 850/HO owner’s manual, part number 9924659, for model family A14ZN8EAB/C/I/M/P/S. Confirm the model before purchasing; the listing does not establish current inventory.
Replacement parts
Use the exact model code or VIN when checking diagrams and identifiers in a dealer parts fiche. Confirm the part number and documented fitment with a Polaris dealer or parts retailer rather than relying on the broad XP 850 name alone.

Safety and maintenance notes
Polaris’s 2014 manual begins: “Read this manual carefully. It contains important safety information.” It describes this as an adult vehicle and prohibits operation by anyone under 16. Follow the complete manual for safe operation and required service procedures.
The manual lists fluid capacities as reference quantities; capacity alone does not establish the required fluid specification or service method. For product selection, checks, and procedures, use the manual’s full instructions. Its product list names Polaris Fuel Stabilizer (2870652) and DOT 4 Brake Fluid (2872189), but those examples are not a complete compatibility specification.

What to verify before buying or servicing one
- Match the model code or VIN to the parts listing and any vehicle-specific status lookup.
- Check tire size, wheel fit, load rating, and pressure against the vehicle and tire requirements.
- Use the manual—not capacity figures alone—for fluid specifications and service steps.
- Do not infer a reliability rate or recall status from the model specifications; a specific vehicle’s status requires its VIN and an official vehicle-level lookup.
