One of the simplest steps in
maintaining your all terrain vehicle has to be with
the ATV tires, yet it happens to be one of the most
important steps. An ATV
frequently referred to as a 4-wheeler or wheeler is
often very basic, possibly with skid steering but
generally has little or no suspension. ATV balloon
tires are commonly used, but there are many to
choose from with various price ranges and uses.
When deciding on what ATV tire to buy for your quad,
there are a number of factors you should consider.
Below are a few ideas and tips to help you shop for
those tires.
Tips on where you
should buy your ATV 4-wheeler tires.
You’ve already made a great start by searching the
Internet for ATV product information on tires, ATV
wheels and rims. The best thing about going
through Internet merchants is that there are no
middlemen to pay, no high priced advertising costs
and tire merchants don’t have to worry about
window-shopping designers.
What does this all mean to you? Cheap atv discount
tires and wheel prices of course! When the ATV
merchants costs go down, so do the tire prices to
you the consumer, sometimes so low you’d think
you’re getting wholesale cost.
www.bikebandit.com is a great place to start as
they sell hundreds of ATV 4-wheeler tires and
rims from over a dozen major brands such as Dunlop,
Maxxis, Ohtsu, Carlisle,
Outlaw, Goodyear, Gator, ITP, Kenda, Vampire,
Swamp, Pirelli, Hoosier, Titan,
Interco, Mudlite, Chengshin and more.
Whether you own a Honda ATV,
Kawasaki, Yamaha, Polaris, Suzuki, Bombardier, Rocky
Mountain, Can Am, Kazuma, Banshee or any other atv,
you can find a dealer online with an atv sale just
for you. There are tire sales for your atv all over
the world including Canada, USA, Europe and even
Asia.
Deciding on your
all terrain vehicle tire budget.
Depending on your needs will
depend on what to budget. Prices online can range
from as low at $35.00 for a basic ATV street tire
and as high at $175.00+ for the best mudzilla ATV
mud tire with massive tread bars giving maximum
traction in mud. If you have a little more money to
add to your budget, you can spruce up your ATV with
some colored tires!
Tip:
When comparing tire prices, be sure to compare the
total delivered price with applicable taxes
included.

Where you go with
your ATV will determine what tire tread pattern to
buy.
There are 4 main tread patterns to consider before
buying your tires: ATV Mud tires, Sand tires, racing
tires and trail tires.
ATV
Mud Tires
–have an inside to outside angled tread pattern so
that the tires grip well to the mud making for
better traction. These tires generally have wide
gaps between the tread and are very tall off the
ground.
ATV
Sand Tires
– known as paddle or scoop tires, these are
specifically made for the sand only and have a
raised edge running down the center of the tire or
horizontal ridges for
stronger grip.
ATV
Racing Tires
– were developed specifically for high-speed races
on medium to hard-packed trails and courses.
You can recognize them by their flattop, crooked
type construction.
ATV
Trail Tires
– are the tires known as the “all-terrain” tire and
have an overlapping tread made best for various
terrains. Unfortunately these have no
specialty to them except that they work well in a
wide range of topography.
What tire size do
you need?
ATV’s range in tires sizes of
13x5x6, 15x6x6, 16x8x7, 15x7x6 and 17x7x7 to mention
a few. We suggest reading online consumer tire
reviews and ratings on atv forums as well as view
the details that the atv manufactures offer on their
websites to get a better idea of which tires are
right for your ATV.
There are many discount a.t.v.
rim sizes to choose from also as small at 5” and 6”
to a medium 9” or 10” and as large as 12” or 14”.
To save even more money, you can buy an atv wheel
and tire kit to get cheaper tires and rim sales.
Once you’ve done all the
necessary tire research, the hard part is choosing
which atv dealer to buy from as many websites offer
free shipping and handling as well as speedy
delivery right to your door! Suggested ATV
accessory items to include with your tire purchase
would be tire chains, an a.t.v. tire changer and be
sure to include an atv tire manual or guide to show
you how to change you’re a-t-v tires.
Below are a couple of great ATV
tire merchants to check out while doing your
research.
