Choosing the best ATV tires involves considering the intended use, reading manufacturer recommendations, and selecting a strong wheel hub. Painted or anodized wheels are best for wet conditions, and oversized tires are preferred for swamps and mud. Failure to choose the right tires can void the ATV’s warranty and result in injury or death.

When deciding on new wheels for an all-terrain vehicle (ATV), there are several factors to consider to ensure that the best ATV tires are chosen. One of the most important considerations is the intended use of the ATV vehicle. Some ATV tires are intended for show or street use and would be a poor choice for an ATV intended for trail or off-road adventures. The finish of ATV tires is often a determining factor in purchasing a wheel. ATV owners who don’t want to spend a lot of time polishing and cleaning chrome or polished aluminum wheels can purchase painted or anodized ATV wheels that can simply be hosed off and allowed to air dry.

It is estimated that more ATVs will be used on paved streets and facilities than are used in actual off-highway service. This has grown into a huge aftermarket business of manufacturing and selling ATV tires. One problem with this is the inability of many ATV owners to identify the right ATV tires for their needs. Failure to investigate the proper use and restrictions of a wheel’s intended purchase can void the ATV’s warranty and result in injury or death to the rider or operator.

Most ATV tires can be used on paved roads without a problem, however many tires cannot be used in off-road applications. To choose the best ATV tires, care should be taken to read the manufacturer’s warnings and recommendations on proper wheel use. When considering an off-road tire, a strong wheel hub will generally serve the best. A weak center can lead to a broken wheel if the ATV encounters a big jump or bump. A wider wheel is usually best suited for the large size tires used in most off-road applications.

ATVs used in swamps and wet regions will require frequent cleaning and maintenance if a polished wheel is used. In most cases, a painted or anodized wheel is the best option for these conditions. This will allow the operator to simply wipe the mud off the wheels and allow them to air dry. In this type of use, very tall tires are also preferred to increase clearance over mud and water. In this scenario, the best ATV tires are often oversized because they will allow a very tall tire to be mounted on the ATV with ease.
