[@paulhorvat8750]

Great video, but could you explain about the yellow dot and the red dot thanks

[@rmatvmc]

Yes, the yellow mark on the sidewall is the point at which the valve stem should be mounted next to for the best balance. If there is a red mark on the tire, that indicates the point of max radial force variation/high point in the tire. Both of these marks just help whoever is installing be aware of the high and low spots on a tire to get them balanced as best as possible. Hope that helps a little bit!

[@twiz8789]

Maybe ATV/UTV tires are different than truck tires as far a being a bias ply or a radial. He stated the radial is tougher. Offroading with Jeeps I want a bias ply. I've seen way too many radials give up the ghost on the sidewalls because they aren't as strong as a bias, and you can air a bias ply into the single digets. Do that with a radial and you are just asking for a ripped or pinched sidewall

[@Thekylico]

What would yall recommend for a 2015 Polaris Sportsman 570 for mudding that wont get me stuck not will break anything?

[@rmatvmc]

+BuckShotAirsoft309 If your machine is stock i would check out the ITP Mud Lite series or the ITP Mayhem line up. Both models of tires provide a good footprint for those more muddy conditions. I think the 570 will perform better with a lighter mud tire than a heavier one. You don't want to overload your machine with a tire you can't push. We guarantee your stock tire size to fit. If you're looking to go bigger than stock, you'll have to measure to see just how much bigger you can go without hitting. Check out our tire selection here: www.rockymountainatvmc.com/c/165/ATV-Tires

Are there any issues with running a BFG K2 tire on my SXS ?

[@rmatvmc]

Those are made specifically for a truck so they are going to be heavier, which means more rotating mass and could be pretty stressful on your clutch, so you may want to tune your clutch for those tires.

[@forcast11]

I HAVE A CF MOTO UFORCE 800 with 9000 miles on it I HAVE HAD FOR 4 1/2 YEARS now and i have bought a lot of tires over those years now i do a lot of hard pack trails and 1 to 2 feet of snow plowing and ether stuff what tire do you thank will last

[@NavigateOffroad]

I would consider looking into an all terrain tire that still has some beefy tread on it to help you on the snow and mud you encounter along the trail. Otherwise you could consider snow specific tires but now you are talking multiple sets of tires.

[@chemaross3604]

What do you think about tire sealant that some ATV/UTV shops use? My tires current have the sealant in them and I've never had a leak despite going through some pretty trashy properties. I wonder if it throws off the balance of the tires at higher speeds.

[@tomsommer54]

Is there a Thorne/ rock proof tire. I’m in northwest Arkansas/Ozark mountains. I am getting a lot of rock damage in my tires. There about 2 years old. Yamaha wolverine x2 2021. I am mostly concerned in a tough puncture resistance.

[@rmatvmc]

Hi Tom, you should be looking at the higher 8-10 ply rated tires. These are going to be tougher and more puncture resistant than your typical stock tires. A couple standout tires are the EFX Motovator that is 8-ply rated and has steel belting to resist punctures. Another super tough tire is our Tusk Aramid Terrabite 10-ply rated tire. The Aramid belting is bead to bead so more sidewall protection over steel belted tires (which are heavier and typically only found in the tread, not the sidewall). Both of these tires would be improved protection than your stock tires. - Wes

[@rylanfisher630]

If my 4 wheeler has 23x10x12 tires, would i lose a lot of tork and power if I put 25x10x12's on? By the way my machine is a 350 wolverine

[@rmatvmc]

I don't think it would be to noticeable but yes, you would see a little loss there. You would gain a little more ground clearance. I would just recommend you check your clearances, just to make sure you won't have any rubbing going on.

[@fordf350superdutie]

I have a Can-Am maverick trail that comes with 12" x 6" rims, can I put 11" wide tires on it or is that pushing it to far

We recommend 3" as the maximum a tire should be wider than the wheel. I have seen some manufacturers go 4" over but you will want to check with the tire and wheel manufacturer.

Will work

[@randythacker3778]

My stock tires are smaller in the front. Is it recommended to always run smaller in the front, or can you put the same size front and rear??

[@rmatvmc]

Some machines will come with narrower front tires to help the steering feel light and to avoid rubbing and other ATV's can also have different size wheels on the front and rear. Most of the time it's no problem to run the same size tires all around but it can cause problems on some vehicles. What machine do you have?

[@charliekirsch8051]

Could I put 22x11-8 tires on a 11 inch wide wheel, if not, what size would you recommend?

[@rmatvmc]

A good generic rule of thumb; rim width needs to be 2 inches or less (no more than 5 inches) than the tire width. So regarding tire size “22x11-8”, anything wider than a 9 inch rim or less than 6 inches would most likely cause issues.

If my tire is too inflated will that cause wobble? Or if the tire isnt sitting on the rim right? Also my tire sidewall has a small bump on it

[@rmatvmc]

Over inflation usually wont cause a wobble but it can make the ride a lot harsher and wear your tires unevenly. Also, I would recommend to keep a close eye on the bubble in your sidewall and replace it as soon as possible. Most sidewall bubbles are from impacts so there is a chance you bent your wheel or axle and that's where your wobble is coming from so I would check both of those too.

The max PSI is not the maximum pressure for seating the bead! The max pressure is the maximum pressure the tire is designed to have Never mix this up as the seating pressure.

[@lordTowle]

Why wouldn't a person put 15" rims on their UTV and buy truck tires, like TSL 29X9.5's? You get all the performance benefits plus, they would be street legal. The problem I see with UTV tires is, most of them are street legal. Here in Arizona we are allowed to take our UTV's on the street. If you did this you might have to buy bead lock rims and run very little air pressure but, you would still come out ahead.
