1996BlackBauer Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 While I was at the fair this week I noticed that all the new side by sides, and ATVs have 14, and even 15 inch rims, with some beefy tires on them, with the lack of AT tires for 14, and 15 inch rims that would fit my Impreza (1996 Outback Sport), would these work? I mean those sides by sides are heavy, anybody else notice this? Should I try this? Maybe something like this? https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/723/50296/ITP-Ultracross-R-Spec-Radial-ATV-Tire?term=14%20inch%20atv%20tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosubarubrat Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 If it's not DOT certified it's supposed to be illegal to run them on the road. Not sure if it is or isn't. It says it's rated at R which is 106mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 My thought is that ATV tires are not designed for road speed applications, and so cannot withstand the higher amount of heat that high speed generates. They are designed for slow, off road application, and prolly should only be used for that purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 There are a handful of manufacturers that make 27x8.5R14 AT and offroad tires. General used to make the grabber AT2 in that size, they may still but I don't know for sure. Do some digging and you'll find some. They tend to cost less than those ATV tires as well.
