TIRES MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Melissa Coons | 05/04/2021

ATV tires are something that will eventually need replaced. Perhaps since purchasing your ATV you have found some favorite riding spots and really put those tires to the test.  Is your favorite spot rugged, sandy, muddy or partially paved? Since terrains are different in every environment, it’s important to outfit your ATV with the appropriate tires for the terrain you are most often riding on.

TRAIL

All terrain tires come standard on most ATVs. They are extremely versatile and can handle a multitude of riding conditions. These tires tend to last longer than other tires and they are a popular choice. With a deep tread and large contact patch, trail tires provide traction and a smooth ride.

 

Mud

With an aggressive look and deep tread depth, mud tires really shine with their performance capabilities. The tall lugs act as paddles to help get good traction in soft muddy terrain. While these tires are perfect for the mud, they will offer a less than comfortable ride when using them on harder surfaces.

 

Turf

Turf saver tires are special made for lawns, turf or pavement. Other forms of tires will damage turf. These types of tires offer a tread that is similar to a lawnmower tire. Turf saver tires are truly the best choice for driving on harder surfaces.

 

Not all tires are created equal, especially when considering the terrain. ATVs and More offer a wide selection of tires to fit your needs.  Not sure what size you need? No problem! Our staff is here to help you. Call us at (618) 548-1360 today!

MUST HAVE ACCESSORIES FOR YOUR UTV

Melissa Coons | 03/02/2021

Owning a UTV is fun and practical. The standard models have everything you need for your traditional driving experience. However, those who are looking for more safety features, greater comfort and an enhanced driving experience will want to purchase some additional accessories. Here are the top five accessories you should consider adding to your UTV.

Mirrors

Adding a rear-view mirror to your UTV is a smart idea. It will help you have better awareness of what is around your vehicle. Adding side-mirrors will also give you added awareness of your surroundings. Plus, if you live in an area where UTVs are permitted on public streets, having a rear-view mirror will keep you street legal.

 

Roof

While there is nothing more exhilarating than the wind in your hair, it will become less thrilling in extreme weather conditions. Don’t let the rain or extreme heat keep you from enjoying your time in the great outdoors. There are both fabric and hardtop options available to meet your needs.

 

Windshield

Adding a windshield to your UTV will help keep you safe from debris when driving on trails and more rugged environments. It also helps protect you from dust, wind and weather elements. No matter what terrain you’re traversing, a windshield makes the perfect layer of added protection.

 

Cargo Net

When you’re zipping over the hills and through the woods the last thing you want is your belongings flying out of your UTV. Cargo nets are a great way to secure items. This easy solution will save you time and money.

 

Winch

Taking your UTV on muddy trails or sandy dunes may land you in a tight spot. You’ll never have to worry about getting stuck when you have a winch! These are incredibly convenient for the avid trail rider. They are also durable and tend to last for several years with proper maintenance.

 

If you are looking to enhance your driving experience while increasing safety and comfort, then these accessories are a must have for any UTV enthusiast. At ATVs and More, we offer a large selection of after-market parts and accessories. Our experienced team is ready to help you find the perfect accessories for your UTV.
