It is essential for drivers to realize the importance of the right tires for their ATVs. Tires that suit your vehicle perfectly make sure that you get the best drive you possibly can. There are many types of ATV tires. These types include the gigantic mud tires, sand tires, trail tires, the O.E type tires and the race tires that are specifically designed to provide extra grip. Goodyear, Maxxis, Gator and ITP are famous manufacturers of ATV tires.

The purpose of the ATV tires is to provide a good enough performance on the road as well as when the vehicle is not on the road. The tires are designed to bear all sorts of terrestrial conditions when it comes to off road driving. Different tires are designed for different terrains. This can be seen in their varying tread patterns. The All Terrains would have a much tight tread as compared to the forceful mud tires. This also allows them to have a less noisy street ride than the humungous mud tires.

The following things need to be kept in mind regarding ATV tires. The ply rating of your ATV tire is essentially determined by the conditions in which you are taking your vehicle. Therefore, while riding through rocky terrain it would be advisable to use tires with higher ply ratings as this would substantially lessen the chance of puncture. The ply rating can be determined by checking the number of stars imprinted on the sidewall of your ATV tire. Each star refers to 2-ply. So, three stars imprinted on the sidewalls of the tire mean that the tire has a rating of 6-ply.

It is not necessary that you use the maximum air pressure that is listed on the sidewall of the tire. Rather, it is advisable that you run the air pressure that is recommended by your tire manufacturer. Optimal air pressure is essential for good mileage. If you are experiencing air loss in your ATV tire(s), you should check for punctures, impact damage on the tread part of the tire and cracks. Also, valve stem and core should be checked for leakage. This is because an old or damaged valve stem and a loose valve core can be the cause of air loss in your tire.

The sizing of the ATV tires uses a general format of AT25 x 10-12. The dash can be replaced by the letter "R" which represents the radial construction of the tire. The first number will give the overall diameter of the tire and the second number gives the section width. Wheel diameter is given by the third number. Inches are used as the units of measurement. These numbers are merely approximations and originally, the sizes may differ in individual tires.

Maintenance of air pressure is essential to prevent cracking of side wall or premature wear of the tires. Regular visual inspections should be made on the tires. Also, care should be taken to check for any foreign matter on the tread of the tire or the sidewall. To get the best performance out of your ATV tires proper care is a must.
