Choosing the Right ATV Tires
When selecting new ATV tires, it’s essential to understand your riding style and the terrain you’ll be traversing. Different tire types are designed for various conditions, including mud, sand, and rocky surfaces. For instance, if you frequently ride in muddy areas, opting for tires with deeper treads can provide better traction and handling.
Additionally, consider the size of the tires for your specific rims. The right size ensures proper fitment and performance. Refer to your ATV’s manual or consult a specialist to determine the compatible tire dimensions. Installing the wrong size can lead to performance issues and even safety hazards while riding.
Preparing to Install

Before you start the installation process, gather all necessary tools, including a tire iron, a bead breaker, and an air compressor. Make sure your work area is clean and free of debris to avoid damaging the tires or rims. It’s also a good idea to inspect the rims for any signs of damage or corrosion, as this can affect the tire’s seal and overall safety.
Once you have everything ready, deflate the old tires completely by removing the valve stem core. This step makes it easier to break the bead of the tire from the rim. Use the bead breaker to separate the tire from the rim, taking care not to damage the rim in the process.
Mounting the New Tires
Begin the mounting process by applying a lubricant around the bead of the new tire. This helps the tire slide onto the rim more easily and reduces the risk of pinching the inner tube during installation. Carefully position the tire onto the rim, ensuring that it sits evenly on both sides.
Once the tire is in place, use a tire iron to push the bead over the rim edge. Be sure to work slowly and check for proper alignment. After both beads are seated on the rim, reinsert the valve stem core and inflate the tire to the recommended pressure. Remember to visually inspect the tires for any signs of misalignment or damage, as this could lead to imbalanced handling while riding.
