Tyres

Tyres for pit bikes, mini dirt bikes and quad bikes

The right tyres are important for transferring power to the ground, handling and the way your vehicle behaves off-road. When replacing them, choosing solely by the appearance of the tread is not enough – the key is the correct tyre size and its intended use on the specific wheel and vehicle.

Our range includes tyres for pit bikes, mini dirt bikes, minibikes, children's quad bikes, ATVs, buggies and motorised bicycles. The current range includes 78 products, from small 6" tyres to 18", 19" and 21" motorcycle tyres and larger ATV sizes.

Pit bike tyres

Pit bikes commonly use different front and rear wheel sizes. Our range therefore includes separate front and rear pit bike tyres for various wheel sizes.

Currently available examples include front tyres in sizes 60/100-12, 60/100-14, 70/100-19 or 80/100-21 and rear options such as 80/100-12 or 110/100-18.

Always choose according to the size of the original tyre and rim, rather than simply relying on the “pit bike” label.

Tyres for mini dirt bikes and minibikes

Smaller children's motorcycles use correspondingly smaller tyres. The current range includes, for example, 2.50-10 mini dirt bike tyres, tyres for mini quads and dirt bikes, and small slick and treaded tyres in sizes 90/65-6.5 and 110/50-6.5.

When replacing a tyre, we recommend comparing not only the size but also the type of the original tyre and its intended use.

Tyres for quad bikes and ATVs

Tyres for children's quad bikes and ATVs make up a large part of our range. You will find smaller sizes for mini quads as well as larger ATV tyres.

The current range includes, for example, 13x5.00-6, 16x8-7, 18x9.5-8, 19x7-8, 20x7-10, 21x7-10, 22x7-10, 22x10-10 or 23x7-10.

Front and rear quad bike tyres often differ in width, so always check the size for the specific axle.

Buggy tyres

Some sizes are also intended for buggies. The current range includes, for example, an ATV/Buggy tyre in size 22x7-10 or a 16x6-8 front tyre for the HammerHead GT80.

For buggies too, choosing solely by engine capacity or the approximate size of the vehicle is not advisable. The specifications of the original tyre and wheel are what matter.

How do you read a pit bike tyre size?

On motorcycle tyres, you may come across a marking such as 70/100-19.

• 70 indicates the nominal tyre width in millimetres,
• 100 expresses the ratio of the sidewall height to the width as a percentage,
• 19 indicates the rim diameter in inches.

A 70/100-19 tyre is therefore intended for a 19" rim, but when choosing a tyre you need to take the full size into account, not just the last number.

How do you read an ATV tyre size?

Quad bikes often use markings such as 21x7-10.

In this case:

• 21 indicates the approximate overall tyre diameter in inches,
• 7 its approximate width,
• 10 the rim diameter in inches.

A 21x7-10 tyre therefore cannot automatically be replaced with, for example, a 21x10-10 tyre simply because both fit a 10" rim.

Front and rear tyres are not always the same

On pit bikes, motocross bikes and quad bikes, it is common for the front and rear wheels to use different tyre sizes.

Before ordering, we therefore recommend reading the marking directly from the sidewall of the original tyre. If you are replacing both, check the front and rear wheels separately.

Choosing a tyre tread for the intended use

Alongside size, the tread pattern is also important. A coarser off-road tread is designed to work on loose surfaces, whereas a finer tread pattern or a slick tyre serves a different purpose.

Base your choice on where you actually ride your vehicle. For children's quad bikes and pit bikes intended for off-road use, the tyre's ability to perform on soil, grass, gravel and other loose surfaces is often important.

How do you choose the right tyre?

The easiest starting point is the marking on the sidewall of the original tyre. Then check the rim size, whether the tyre is for the front or rear, and the required tread type. If, for example, the original tyre is marked 80/100-12, do not automatically choose a different 12" tyre. The same rim diameter does not necessarily mean the same width and profile.

The same applies to quad bikes – 10" is only one part of the full tyre size.

When should you replace a tyre?

It is advisable to check tyres regularly. Reasons for replacement may include significantly worn or damaged tread, cracks, deformation, sidewall damage or other mechanical damage.

On vehicles that have been standing unused for a long time, check the condition of the tyres even if they appear to have plenty of tread. Tyre material also ages over time.
