ATV tires are one of the most significant parts of the ATV. At the time of their discovery, they used to possess balloon tires, but today ATV tires are heavy possessing deep treads and low pressure, which is approximately less than 10 pounds per square inch. These features of a tire enable to have a clutch on the road which will further help in traveling across the terrains like forests and wetlands with an ease and comfort.
Composition of ATV Tires
The main components of an ATV tire are belts, a carcass, and the inner lining.
a – The belts are composed of a series of steel, polyester, nylon, or Kevlar coated with the layers of rubber.
b – The main part of the tire is carcass, which is composed of wire beads and body plies.
c – The inner lining of a tire is composed of compounded rubber, which forms the inner side of a tubeless tire.
The ATV tire construction possesses two different types: bias-ply and radial designs. In case of bias-ply tires, the tires are composed of textile cords such as nylon or Kevlar whereas the radial tires are composed of reinforced-steel cable belts that are coated with rubber.
