ATV Tire Measurements
ATV tires are commonly measured by Height x Width x Inner Wheel Diameter (HxWxID) in inches.
Term definitions:
Radial: Radial constructed tires utilize both ply and breaker (or belt) cords. The ply cords extend from bead to bead at approximately 90 degree angle to the centerline of the tire. The breaker (or belt) cords are placed on top of the ply cords across the width of the tire. Advantages: Adding breaker (or belt) cords results in a stiffer carcass which helps provide a longer tread and tire life, better steering control and handling, overall smoother ride and ride comfort, and higher tread puncture resistance.
Bias: Bias tires typically have the ply cords that extend diagonally from bead to bead at a range of 30 to 60 degree angles from the centerline. Each successive ply is laid at an opposing angle, forming a criss-cross pattern. Advantages: The design allows the entire tire body to flex easily, giving a comfortable ride on rough surfaces.
ATV Wheel Sizing and Offset
To determine the diameter of a wheel: Measure the width of the bead area of the wheel (not the outer rim). In the diagram above, the diameter measures 12 inches.
To determine the offset and width of a wheel: Measure from the center weld to the center of the tire bead area on both sides of the wheel. The outer measurement will be the one with the valve stem. The offset of a wheel is stated by reading the measurement of the inside first, then the measurement of the outside (valve stem side). For example: In the diagram above, the offset is 5+2; meaning the inside half of the wheel measured 5 inches, and the outside (valve stem side) measured 2 inches. Add these 2 numbers together to find the total width of the rim (7 inches).
Note: If the rim has a tire on it, usually the tire will have the rim diameter imprinted on it (8", 9", 10"...). You can also measure the rim from inside using the diagram above and getting the measurements as close as possible.
Warning
The charts and info on this page do not imply interchangeability. Consult your machine’s manual to determine correct replacements, clearances, compatibility and stability, load-bearing capacity, speed rating, radial vs. non-radial recommendations, pattern and tread compound requirements, inflation recommendations and front-to-rear tire matching. Wrong selection can result in tire failure or loss of control with serious injury or death.
Common ATV Tire Terrain Types
All Around: Medium tread pattern for general use on various terrains.
Performance: Lower profile with tighter, aggressive tread patterns.
Sand: Paddled rear tires and smooth or ribbed front tires for great flotation and hook up.
Rocks: Heavy duty tires that usually have high ply ratings. Medium tread pattern.
Mud: Aggressive, wide and deep tread pattern. Heavy duty construction.
Snow: Aggressive, wide and deep tread pattern. Heavy duty construction.
Ply rating: ATV tires come in different ply ratings: 2-ply rating, 4-ply rating, 6-ply rating, 8-ply rating, etc. The higher the ply rating, the stronger (but heavier) the tire. For example: The most aggressive mud tires are built with higher ply ratings for ultimate strength.
Maintenance
Checking tire pressure is the most important tire maintenance function you can perform. Check cold tire pressure frequently with a good-quality gauge that holds a reading – and always before extended trips. Inspect tires frequently for damage, and always heed warning signs such as vibration, handling instability, rubbing or tire noise that occur during the operation of your ATV.
Maintenance: Regular inspection of the ATV generally, and of wheels/tires in particular, is suggested because tire mileage and performance are adversely affected by a poorly maintained vehicle.
Sidewall treatment: Use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls, white striping or lettering. Rinse off with plain water. Never apply any other material, cleaners or dressings to enhance sidewall appearance. These may degrade the rubber and remove inherent ozone-cracking/weather-checking resistance.
Tire storage precautions: The treatment that tires receive during extended periods of inactivity may directly affect their mileage and performance.
- Temperature: Try to avoid frequent and varied extremes of temperature during storage. Do not keep tires next to radiators or sources of heat. Tires subjected to these conditions will age more quickly than those stored in a cool, constant environment.
- Sunlight: Tires stored in direct sunlight for long periods of time will harden and age more quickly than those stored in a cool, constant environment.
- Ozone: Do not store tires where electric motors are present. The high concentration of ozone will accelerate tire aging.
- Oil and gasoline: Prolonged contact with oil or gasoline causes contamination of the rubber compound, making the tire unsuitable for use. Wipe off any oil or gasoline immediately with a clean rag. Do not use any tire that has been exposed to oil, gasoline, corrosives or non-rubber-compatible liquids.
Safety Precautions
Safety tips: Refer to your machine’s documentation for proper maintenance. Always give tires a gentle “run-in” period to get the feel of new tires. Always match the front and rear tires for optimal handling, safety and performance. Mixing radials with bias or belted-bias tires may adversely affect handling and stability. Worn/unworn tire combinations and worn tires used in wet conditions can result in deteriorated handling.
Inspection: Condition: Check for cuts and gouges that may cause air leakage. Also check the tires for missing knobs and excessively worn tread. Wheels: To avoid loss of control or injury, make sure axle nuts are tight and secured. Grasp each tire at the front and rear and try to rock it on its axle to detect worn-out bearings or loose nuts. There should be no free play or slip as you rock the wheel.
Tire mounting guidelines: Only specially trained persons should mount tires. Improper mounting can cause tire explosion and serious injury. Never exceed the tire manufacturer’s recommended maximum pressure when seating any tire. Never inflate above your tire manufacturer’s recommended psi amount to seat beads. Maximum pressure can be found on the sidewall of each tire.

Dirt Bike Tire Measurements
Dirt bike tires are commonly measured by in millimeters by Width / Aspect Ratio x Rim Diameter (inches).
Term definitions:
Aspect Ratio: The aspect ratio is the height of the sidewall in relation to the width of the tread. For example, on the tire size above, the aspect ratio is 90% of the tread width (the first number in the tire size), creating a 99-millimeter sidewall height.
Radial: Radial constructed tires utilize both ply and breaker (or belt) cords. The ply cords extend from bead to bead at approximately 90 degree angle to the centerline of the tire. The breaker (or belt) cords are placed on top of the ply cords across the width of the tire. Advantages: Adding breaker (or belt) cords results in a stiffer carcass which helps provide a longer tread and tire life, better steering control and handling, overall smoother ride and ride comfort, and higher tread puncture resistance.

Maintenance: Regular inspection of the dirt bike generally, and of wheels/tires in particular, is suggested because tire mileage and performance are adversely affected by a poorly maintained vehicle. Refer to the owner’s manual for recommended suspension settings. Improperly maintained components and incorrect or unbalanced front fork pressures will affect stability. Low suspension pressure will generate excessive tire stresses.
Sidewall treatment: Use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls, white striping or lettering. Rinse off with plain water. Never apply any other material, cleaners or dressings to enhance sidewall appearance. These may degrade the rubber and remove inherent ozone-cracking/weather-checking resistance.

Safety Precautions
Safety tips: Refer to your machine’s documentation for proper maintenance. Always give tires a gentle “run-in” period to get the feel of new tires. This means they should not be subjected to maximum power, abrupt lean-over, hard cornering, etc. Always match the front and rear tires for optimal handling, safety and performance. Mixing radials, or mixing radials with bias or belted-bias tires, may adversely affect handling and stability.
Air pressure: Always maintain the recommended tire pressure for the type of motorcycle that is being ridden; check the owner’s manual. Underinflated tires may cause wheel damage when ridden on rocky, rough terrain and allow the motorcycle to squirm or wander on smooth, hard terrain. Overinflation may damage the tires and cause an unnecessarily harsh ride. To accurately measure tire pressure, use a standard tire-pressure gauge.
Inspection: Condition: Check for cuts and gouges that may cause air leakage. Also check the tires for missing knobs and excessively worn tread. Wheels: To avoid loss of control or injury, make sure axle nuts are tight and secured. Grasp each tire at the front and rear and try to rock it on its axle to detect worn-out bearings or loose nuts. There should be no free play or slip as you rock the wheel. Inspect wheels for broken or loose spokes and for cracks on the hub or rim.
Tire mounting guidelines: Only specially trained persons should mount tires. Improper mounting can cause tire explosion and serious injury. Never exceed the tire manufacturer’s recommended maximum pressure when seating any tire. Never inflate above your tire manufacturer’s recommended psi amount to seat beads. Maximum pressure can be found on the sidewall of each tire.
Signs you could need new dirt bike tires: The primary thing to look at with tires is the tread. Is it worn too short? Are the knobs rounded? Are they showing other signs of wear (like cracks)? If so, it might be time for new tires. Worn/unworn tire combinations and worn tires used in wet conditions can result in deteriorated handling.

Dual Sport / ADV Tire Measurements
Dual sport / ADV tires are commonly measured by in millimeters by Width / Aspect Ratio x Rim Diameter (inches).
Load Index This number represents the load-carrying maximum capacity at maximum pressure.
Example: 58 = 520 lbs. 69 = 720 lbs.
Speed Rating This letter represents the maximum speed under recommended load capacity
Example: S = 112 mph W = 168 mph
Term definitions:
Aspect Ratio: The aspect ratio is the height of the sidewall in relation to the width of the tread. For example, if you have a tire that is 110/80R-18, the aspect ratio is 80% of the tread width (the first number in the tire size), creating an 88-millimeter sidewall height. Note to remember: Width is in millimeters, aspect ratio is a percentage, and rim diameter is in inches.
Radial: Radial constructed tires utilize both ply and breaker (or belt) cords. The ply cords extend from bead to bead at approximately 90 degree angle to the centerline of the tire. The breaker (or belt) cords are placed on top of the ply cords across the width of the tire. Advantages: Adding breaker (or belt) cords results in a stiffer carcass which helps provide a longer tread and tire life, better steering control and handling, overall smoother ride and ride comfort, and higher tread puncture resistance.
Bias belted: A bias belted tire utilizes ply cords that extend diagonally from bead to bead (relative to the centerline) and a stabilizer belt across the width of the tire. Advantages: This type of tire provides a smooth ride that is similar to the bias tire but lessens rolling resistance due to the belt's increasing tread stiffness. The plies and belts are at different angles, which improves performance compared to non-belted bias tires.
Bias: Bias tires typically have the ply cords that extend diagonally from bead to bead at a range of 30 to 60 degree angles from the centerline. Each successive ply is laid at an opposing angle, forming a criss-cross pattern. Advantages: The design allows the entire tire body to flex easily, giving a comfortable ride on rough surfaces.

Each tire/wheel package includes 2 tires mounted on 2 wheels.
Selecting New Tires
When selecting new tires, make sure they meet the requirements of your UTV and its expected usage. Always refer to the owner’s manual and tire manufacturer’s website for recommended tire size, construction, performance and suggested air pressure.
UTV Tire Measurements
UTV tires are commonly measured by Height x Width x Inner Wheel Diameter (HxWxID) in inches.
Term definitions:
Radial: Radial constructed tires utilize both ply and breaker (or belt) cords. The ply cords extend from bead to bead at approximately 90 degree angle to the centerline of the tire. The breaker (or belt) cords are placed on top of the ply cords across the width of the tire. Advantages: Adding breaker (or belt) cords results in a stiffer carcass which helps provide a longer tread and tire life, better steering control and handling, overall smoother ride and ride comfort, and higher tread puncture resistance.
Bias: Bias tires typically have the ply cords that extend diagonally from bead to bead at a range of 30 to 60 degree angles from the centerline. Each successive ply is laid at an opposing angle, forming a criss-cross pattern. Advantages: The design allows the entire tire body to flex easily, giving a comfortable ride on rough surfaces.
UTV Wheel Sizing and Offset
To determine the diameter of a wheel: Measure the width of the bead area of the wheel (not the outer rim). In the diagram above, the diameter measures 12 inches.
To determine the offset and width of a wheel: Measure from the center weld to the center of the tire bead area on both sides of the wheel. The outer measurement will be the one with the valve stem. The offset of a wheel is stated by reading the measurement of the inside first, then the measurement of the outside (valve stem side). For example: In the diagram above, the offset is 5+2; meaning the inside half of the wheel measured 5 inches, and the outside (valve stem side) measured 2 inches. Add these 2 numbers together to find the total width of the rim (7 inches).
Note: If the rim has a tire on it, usually the tire will have the rim diameter imprinted on it (8", 9", 10"...). You can also measure the rim from inside using the diagram above and getting the measurements as close as possible.
Warning
The charts and info on this page do not imply interchangeability. Consult your machine’s manual to determine correct replacements, clearances, compatibility and stability, load-bearing capacity, speed rating, radial vs. non-radial recommendations, pattern and tread compound requirements, inflation recommendations and front-to-rear tire matching. Wrong selection can result in tire failure or loss of control with serious injury or death.
Common UTV Tire Terrain Types
All Around: Medium tread pattern for general use on various terrains.
Performance: Lower profile with tighter, aggressive tread patterns.
Sand: Paddled rear tires and smooth or ribbed front tires for great flotation and hook up.
Rocks: Heavy duty tires that usually have high ply ratings. Medium tread pattern.
Mud: Aggressive, wide and deep tread pattern. Heavy duty construction.
Snow: Aggressive, wide and deep tread pattern. Heavy duty construction.
Ply rating: UTV tires come in different ply ratings: 2-ply rating, 4-ply rating, 6-ply rating, 8-ply rating, etc. The higher the ply rating, the stronger (but heavier) the tire. For example: The most aggressive mud tires are built with higher ply ratings for ultimate strength.
Maintenance
Checking tire pressure is the most important tire maintenance function you can perform. Check cold tire pressure frequently with a good-quality gauge that holds a reading – and always before extended trips. Inspect tires frequently for damage, and always heed warning signs such as vibration, handling instability, rubbing or tire noise that occur during the operation of your UTV.
Maintenance: Regular inspection of the UTV generally, and of wheels/tires in particular, is suggested because tire mileage and performance are adversely affected by a poorly maintained vehicle.
Sidewall treatment: Use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls, white striping or lettering. Rinse off with plain water. Never apply any other material, cleaners or dressings to enhance sidewall appearance. These may degrade the rubber and remove inherent ozone-cracking/weather-checking resistance.
Tire storage precautions: The treatment that tires receive during extended periods of inactivity may directly affect their mileage and performance.
- Temperature: Try to avoid frequent and varied extremes of temperature during storage. Do not keep tires next to radiators or sources of heat. Tires subjected to these conditions will age more quickly than those stored in a cool, constant environment.
- Sunlight: Tires stored in direct sunlight for long periods of time will harden and age more quickly than those stored in a cool, constant environment.
- Ozone: Do not store tires where electric motors are present. The high concentration of ozone will accelerate tire aging.
- Oil and gasoline: Prolonged contact with oil or gasoline causes contamination of the rubber compound, making the tire unsuitable for use. Wipe off any oil or gasoline immediately with a clean rag. Do not use any tire that has been exposed to oil, gasoline, corrosives or non-rubber-compatible liquids.
Safety Precautions
Safety tips: Refer to your machine’s documentation for proper maintenance. Always give tires a gentle “run-in” period to get the feel of new tires. Always match the front and rear tires for optimal handling, safety and performance. Mixing radials with bias or belted-bias tires may adversely affect handling and stability. Worn/unworn tire combinations and worn tires used in wet conditions can result in deteriorated handling.
Inspection: Condition: Check for cuts and gouges that may cause air leakage. Also check the tires for missing knobs and excessively worn tread. Wheels: To avoid loss of control or injury, make sure axle nuts are tight and secured. Grasp each tire at the front and rear and try to rock it on its axle to detect worn-out bearings or loose nuts. There should be no free play or slip as you rock the wheel.
Tire mounting guidelines: Only specially trained persons should mount tires. Improper mounting can cause tire explosion and serious injury. Never exceed the tire manufacturer’s recommended maximum pressure when seating any tire. Never inflate above your tire manufacturer’s recommended psi amount to seat beads. Maximum pressure can be found on the sidewall of each tire.
