Which Brand Of ATV Tires Is The Best
Doug Mahopac
There are numerous brands of tires available on the
market specifically designed for all terrain vehicles
(ATVs). Quite often, when it comes time to purchase
new tires for your ATV, the options are overwhelming.
Although it is a great debate raging regarding which
specific brand of ATV tire is the best, the question
should be which brand ATV tire is the best for your
needs?
There are several popular brands of ATV tires on currently
on the market, ranging from the economical to the budget-busting.
Tire pioneers Firestone, Goodyear, Pirelli, Dunlop,
and Bridgestone produce ATV tires. These brands are
most familiar with most tire consumers, as they produce
automobile tires. Goodyear produces a wide variety of
tires, including the popular choice for those interested
in riding their ATV in muddy environments, the Tracker
Mud Runner. Since the Polaris Sportsman 700 Twin was
named 2005 ATV of the Year, Goodyear has become even
more popular with ATV owners, since their Rawhide Grip
tires are a feature of the 700 Twin.
For ATV owners wanting something out of the ordinary
and are looking to after market tires to beef up their
all terrain vehicle. Whether you want a tire that will
out perform the typical treads available on ATVs straight
out of the showroom or a tire that has a certain look
that appeals to you, these after market tires are becoming
more and more popular. Look to the High Lifter’s Outlaw
tire if you want to lift the entire ATV for additional
clearing space underneath the vehicle. If you choose
this option, be sure to also purchase a lift kit so
that your new tires will fit. Keep in mind that any
lifting of an ATV can reduce the stability of the vehicle,
so do these modifications with the utmost of care. Furthermore,
brands like GBC produce fantastic tires that are designed
to travel in sandy environments, specifically the Sand
Shark brand of tire.
If you are interested in racing your ATV, look no further
than the Maxxis brand of tires. Their popular model,
the Maxxis iRazr is a great model for anyone wanting
a top performance ATV tire. Also by Maxxis is the Razr,
Razr 2, and Razr MX. Also for racing are tires produced
by Carlisle, especially the Carlisle S-Trac Radial and
the Badlands models. These models are perfect for individuals
who want control without compromising their top speeds.
Keep in mind that racing tires should only be used for
racing and are inappropriate and dangerous for any other
use. These tires have flat, knobby treads that allow
the ATV to travel at maximum speed, but in turn, have
decreased stability and control, especially on muddy,
sandy, or uneven surfaces.
