Tires Wheels Kits -
Buyer's
Guide.
Improve looks and
performance with ATV tire and Wheel Combo kits.
Kits to replace stock ATV tires wheels are one of the most popular
accessories on anyone's wish list. Since these combo kits are a great
"bang for the buck", that seems reasonable to us. Now that we've
convinced ourselves we really need these, let's take a closer look.
Go Big or Go Home?The
first thing you'll notice is that most combo kits for ATV tires wheels
offers a choice of 12" or 14" diameter sizes. So which one do you need?
That depends on what type of riding you plan on doing and how much
money you want to spend.
The 12" kits are probably the best pick
for the majority of riders. There's an almost unlimited choice of tire
tread types, and the 12" sizes are usually less expensive.
The
12" ATV tires/wheels will retain close to a "stock" feel for ride and
handling. For riders that are happy with the overall performance of
their ATVs and just want to upgrade the stock wheels and tires - the
12" diameter is the way to go.
The 12" sizes rarely cause any
clearance issues and almost never cause any ride or handling problems.
They're about as close to a no-hassle modification as possible.
But
what if you want to split mud holes, scale huge boulders, or ride
terrain that looks like a moonscape? Then you would be a candidate for
the 14" size ATV wheels and tires.
The most serious mud tires
will be found in the 14" size. And if you need all the ground clearance
you can get, the 14's are what you need. But a word of caution - be
sure to check tire clearance with the fenders and steering and
suspension components first.
The 14" size ATV tires/ wheels can
have some other negative effects too. Raising the ride height of your
ride will reduce stability while cornering and may cause a feeling of
"tippiness". The bigger size wheels and tires also require more energy
to accelerate and brake than the smaller sizes.
As we've said
before, like so many of these mods, it really comes down to your riding
priorities. Our personal opinion? For the great majority of riders, the
12 inchers offer the best combination of tire choice, ride and
handling, and price.
However, if your normal riding areas
would be considered "extreme", then the 14" size will be the best
choice for you. Or maybe you just like the looks of the bigger wheels
and tires. Fair enough - it's your money!
