Quad Tyres
We stock a huge range of quad tyres suitable for use on many of todays sport and racing quads. Our quad tyres include various patterns that are suitable for use across the many different types of terrain that modern quad riders traverse. Our dedicated road patterns from Maxxis, Duro, Wanda & Innova all offer better on road manners, quieter running and improve tyre life, not to mention increased grip and traction, when used solely on the road. If you only ride your quad on road, there is no better choice than a dedicated road pattern tyre and we have options to suit all budgets.
We also stock a wide variety of different 'knobbly' tyres in the most popular sizes. These tyres are ideal for green laners who use their sport quads on mixed surfaces such as gravel, road and turf. The knobbly patterns also give an aggressive look an perform extremely well across the variety of surfaces they are used on and really are a jack of all trades. We have premium quality tyres from Duro and Maxxis, namely the RAZR 2 that has been the go-to choice for many riders seeking the very best performance grip and tyre life. We also have some great mid range options from CST and Wanda that offer a great balance of performance and price. As most of our customers have registered their sport, leisure and racing quads for the road, the majority of our quad tyre selection does carry an E-mark for road use. You can tell from our product titles if they have an E-mark and we try where possible to also include the load and speed index.
No matter what you use your quad bike for, we can provide the perfect solution for you and our team are here to help advise you in getting the best and most suitable setup for your requirements and budget. We pride ourselves on being specialists in all things to do with quad bike tyres. Our vast range of quad tyres includes most of the leading brands of tyre including Maxxis, BKT, Duro, CST, Kenda and many more. Our range has been developed to offer the best value for money tyres available in the market today. We stay clear of brands that are not up to our high quality standards as we believe they do not offer the value for money that our customers have come to expect from Terrain Tyres. As quad bike enthusiasts, we try and test all of our products to ensure that when you need advice, we can give you an honest opinion based on our own experience. We also have reviews on our tyre ranges that enable customers to give us feedback on the tyres they have purchased. The combination of our own experience and our customer feedback gives you the peace of mind that you are getting the right quad tyres. Above are all of the available Racing Quad Tyres that we sell including all the different ply ratings and tread patterns. By clicking on any of the product images above you can access more detailed information on the tyres including stock availability, ply ratings, prices and other important specifications and information.
Finding the correct tyre for your quad bike involves knowing the correct tyre size. The size is usually written on the sidewall of the tyre and can be displayed in a number of different ways. We have detailed an explanation of how the different methods of measuring the tyre can be written below:
Imperial Tyre Sizes - e.g. "21x7-10"
This measures the size of the tyres in inches. The first number denotes the overall diamter of the tyre which in the example above is 21". The middle number is the overall width of the tyre which is 7" in the example above. The last number is the diameter of the rim (wheel) in inches. in this example it would be 10"
Metric Tyre Sizes - e.g. "165 / 70 - 10"
This is the newer, 'metric' measurement where the first number is again the width of the tyre, but is measured in mm. In this case 165mm. The second digit represents the tyre sidewall profile (height) as a percentage of the width. In this example the sidewall height would be 70% of 165mm (approx. 115mm). The last digit is again the diameter of the rim (wheel), still measured in inches.
There is more to choosing a quad tyre than just the size required. Quad tyres are made and tested to work under certain criteria and limitations and the marking found on the sidewall of the tyre, all help choose the correct tyre for the application.
Maximum Inflation Pressures
Show what the maximum pressure that should be used to 'seat the beads' of the tyres onto the rim. Quad tyres are notoriously difficult to fit and it is tempting to inflate the tyre pressure far beyond the maximum pressure marked on the sidewall. This can cause premature failure of the structure of the tyre and is something that should be avoided at all costs. The use of the correct tyre lubricant and fitting equipment is always recommended to ensure the safe operation and continued reliability of the tyre.
Operating Pressure
Shows what the optimal tyre pressure is to use in the tyre. If the tyre has a load speed index, the operating pressure is where the maximum load and speed are achieved. Inflating the tyre beyond the recommended operating pressure will not increase the carrying capacity or performance of the tyre.
Load Index
Is the limit of weight that the tyre can safely carry at the recommended operating pressure. ATV Tyre manufacturers design the tyres to operate within certain weight parameters. Once the tyre has passed the tests, it is awarded a load rating. It is essential that the correct load rating is used for ATV tyres. Most all terrain vehicles used around the farm are worked hard and fitting a tyre that doesn't meet the requirements of the conditions can lead to premature wear, tyre damage or failure. Load indices are usually denoted by a number. The number itself is not the actual weight carried but represents the maximum weight that the tyre has been designed and tested for. Most tyres have a load index between 0 (45kg's) and 90 (600kg's). For more information on the ATV tyre load index, please visit our load index chart page.
Speed Rating
is the maximum speed that the tyre has been designed to operate at. As with the load index, the speed rating is an important part of any tyre purchase. Ensuring you have the correct tyre for the job means better operation, reduced downtime and associated costs and increased overall value. ATV tyre speed indices are usually shown as a letter ranging from C (37mph) to N (87mph).Some ATV tyres may not have any load speed index marked on the sidewall, but most e-marked tyres will show the load speed index. The load speed index is usually clearly marked on at least one of the sidewalls of the tyres.
Ply Ratings
can be quite confusing in modern times and used to be the standard way to represent the overall strength of the tyre. Ply rating used to show how many plies of rubber that were used to make up the construction of the tyre. For example, if a tyre had a 6ply rating, it would be made up of 6 plies (layers) of rubber. Modern advances in all terrain vehicle tyre technology have lead to other materials than rubber being used and construction methods increasing the strength of the tyre. The PLY rating is less commonly used to convey the number of plies and is now more relevant in showing the strength of the tyre AS IF it had that number of plies of rubber. ATV tyre ply rating is still useful in assessing the overall strength and puncture resistance of the tyre.
E-Marks
show the specific number allocated to the tyre, that have been allocated for use by the EU. The 'E mark' or 'e number' shows that the tyre has been manufactured to a specific criteria and recorded by the EU for use in the EU. All tyres used on PLG registered vehicles including All terrain vehicles must have e marked tyres to be classed as roadworthy / legal. E marks are also a requirement to pass an MOT test in the UK for PLG registered vehicles.
