ATV Tires and Wheels

Safety Tips

Keep your ATV quiet - too much noise stresses wildlife and annoys the owners of property as well as other recreation users. It also contributes to your very own riding fatigue. With less noise, you can ride a longer distance more comfortably.

Always obey trail markers and closure signs. The actual reasons might not be too obvious. Trails may be closed due to fire hazard, refuge for wildlife or plant life, also possibly safety hazards to you (the ATV rider). If you see a trail is posted as "CLOSED", make sure to stay out.

Always make sure to leave gates and fences the way you found them - do not close them up if they're open, as you might be preventing livestock from getter to water; don't leave gates open if you found them closed, you might let livestock out.

Be courteous to others you meet on the trail. Always give the right-of-way to horseback riders. Don't drive up from behind them, and when they approach from the opposite direction, pull off the trail and turn off your engine. The rider will probably talk to their horse and it doesn't hurt to do the same, this will allow the horse to feel that you are not a threat.

When talking to a landowner, take off your helmet. The helmet might make you appear intimidating and unfriendly. Be honest and friendly in all your discussions with the property owner -- remember, you are their guest!
