How to Change an ATV Tire

Thứ bảy - 27/04/2024 01:11

Repair and service shops may charge an expensive fee to change an ATV tire for you--often so much that you could have bought new ATV tires after just a few seasons. If you're reasonably good with tools, however, you can change your own ATV...

Method 1

Method 1 of 3:

Separate the ATV Tire

You can do this quickly by removing the valve stems with a valve stem remover or slowly by depressing the nut inside the valve stem.

This is a wire rim in your ATV tire that sits in a groove in the wheel. You can break this seal by pressing hard on the sidewall of the tire.^{[1] X Research source}
In some models of ATV tire, you will find a tab you must flip to release the wire rim.

Method 2

Method 2 of 3:

Remove the Old ATV Tire

Step 2 Wedge the second tire iron in about 8 inches (20.3 cm) along the rim from the first.

Step 3 Slide the second tire iron around the rim of the wheel until it makes contact with the first.

With some tires, this will be sufficient to fully remove the ATV tire. With others, you'll have to repeat with the opposite edge of the tire.

Install New ATV Tire

Do this with the wheel lying on a wide, flat surface. The wheel won't be as stable as when you were removing the old tire.

Step 2 Lever one section of the tire onto the wheel using your tire iron.

Be careful not to cut or otherwise damage the new ATV tire.^{[3] X Research source}

Step 3 Slide the other tire iron in place and pass it around to set the tire on the wheel.

This is essentially the same process as removing the old ATV tire, reversed.
This step may be easier if you apply a thin layer of lubricant to the edge of the ATV tire.

Step 4 Repeat with the opposite wall of the tire, if necessary.

As with getting tires off, some models will require this step, while others will fall into place with just the first pass.

Step 5 Fill the new ATV tires with air using an air compressor.

Warnings

Working with tires is hard on the the hands. Wear a pair of thick work gloves throughout this process in order to protect them.
