ATV Rear Tires

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which rear ATV tire tread is best for mud, sand, rocks, or mixed trails?

  For mud, choose deep, self‑cleaning lugs; for sand, go with paddles or ribbed designs for flotation. Rocks and hardpack favor reinforced sidewalls with tighter, grippy tread, while mixed use calls for balanced all‑terrain patterns.
• Can these rear tires be used on motorcycles?

  No—these are engineered for ATVs and UTVs, with different profiles and mounting specs than motorcycle tires. Always follow your vehicle’s specified rear tire size and construction to avoid safety or damage issues.
• How do I pick the right rear tire size and ensure proper fit on my ATV/UTV?

  Match the size, rim spec, and construction in your owner’s manual, and keep overall dimensions close to stock to preserve handling and clearance. Confirm wheel width compatibility and check clearances if you run lifts, spacers, or beadlock wheels.
• Should I choose radial or bias‑ply rear ATV tires, and what ply rating makes sense?

  Radials deliver a smoother, more stable ride and even wear at speed, while bias‑ply tires add sidewall flex and toughness for rough, technical terrain. Go higher ply for heavy loads and puncture resistance; lighter constructions suit agile, sport riding.
• Any install and maintenance tips to get the most life from rear ATV tires?

  Mount with directional arrows aligned, seat beads evenly, and inflate to your vehicle’s recommended pressure. After the first ride, recheck wheel hardware, then maintain proper pressure and inspect lugs and sidewalls for cuts or embedded debris.
