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.
