TIRES
Using tires of a dierent size or type than the tires originally equipped on
your ATV can change the ATV’s handing characteristics. Dierent handing
characteristics can result from dierences in carcass construction , sidewall
strength, thread pattern, etc.
For the riders safety, check your vehicle’s tires before each use of the vehi-
cle, to make sure they have proper pressure, enough thread depth, and no
damage.
Operating the vehicle with excessively worn tires can cause skidding due
to decreased traction. It is recommended that the front and rear tires be
replaced when the depth of the tire thread is 4mm (0.16in) or less.
