ATV tires are designed for rough roads, and so if you have any plans to go on a trip where you know there are muddy, snowy, or sandy roads, you will need to get some ATV tires.
The difference between ATV mud tires and regular tires is that they will grip the road and stop your vehicle from slipping and sliding. In other words, they will protect when the going gets rough.
In fact, the entire tire industry has tires for muddy terrain, snowy terrain, and even narrow dry gravel mountain side roads or coastal roads where there is quite a bit of slippery sand. You can tell the difference from the tread and size of the tires. Mud tires have wide treads to allow for a firmer grip on slippery and unpredictable surfaces.
ATV tires also are designed specially for sandy dunes, however, unlike mud tires, these tires are balloon-like and smooth with horizontal treads similar to what you would find in bicycles. You cannot use these kinds of tires on any other surface because it is too risky since the grip is different.
For winter time, shift to snow tires which have wide treads and a smooth surface. The treads look like snow chains that will help you from slipping when the icy snow hits the ground and you have to go out. Other kinds of tyres are for racing and for going on trails where the terrain is sometimes not even familiar territory.
You can get all types of ATV tyres from excellent tyre companies like Cavalier, or find cheaper mud tires when the tire dealers go on sale, or if you are willing to get used mud tires. Since tires are a major expense, tire manufacturers have end-of-season sales regularly, not just to dispose of old stock, but also to keep loyal customers from straying to a competitor tire company.
Mud tires and other tyres are essential vehicle purchase and should not be compromised. What you can do to save a little is get a good second-hand, barely used ATV tires which you might find in the classified or online. Otherwise, wait for the factory sale which is sure to happen before the end of the year.
