Choosing the right ATV tire can be a duanting task, especially if one has had no prior experience in shopping for and purchasing an ATV tire. There are so many brands, styles and types available to consumers, that the whole process can be pretty intimidating. However, selecting the right ATV tire doesn’t have to be a troublesome process. Knowing specifically what the tire will be used for, and what price you are willing to pay for the tire before you start shopping will help you tremendously while you shop.
Knowing what the ATV tire will be used for sounds simple right? You may be thinking that your ATV just needs a new tire, and any tire will do. However, this isn’t always the case. There are mud tires, dirt tires, sand tires, tires with extended mobile technology, 4 ply tires, 2 ply tires and several other tires with terms the average human wouldn’t understand. Before you start shopping for an ATV tire, take a second to think about what kind of terrain your tire will be rolling over. How long do you want the tire to last? Will you be riding over rocks or bricks, or are you staying on a paved trail or road? Ask yourself these questions, and then look for a tire that correlates with your answers. If you want the tire to last long, and you’ll be riding over rocks, then you want a durable 6 ply tire, that has extended treads. If your just riding paved roads or beaten dirt paths, a knobby/smoother tires will do. Look at the specifics of the tire, or ask an atv tire dealer to help you.
Prices of ATV tires vary greatly by brand and tire style. Many brands offer the same type of tire, however, some brands will be cheaper than others. You also have to remember that some brands will have tires that look the same type and style, but the cheaper brand will be of lower quality and won’t last as long. Depending on how much you are willing to spend on quality tires, and how long you want the tires to last, you may have to sacrifice some quality for the price you are willing to pay. An ATV tire dealer will have all of the prices ready for you at your disposal.
When choosing an ATV tire, there are many factors to consider. Knowing what you want before you actually buy will help you tremendously in your quest for the perfect ATV tire.

Choosing the right bike tire size?
I’m trying to buy some tires to start rebuilding my girlfriends Cruiser we got at a garage sale, and I’m wondering whether or not I can switch out tires marked 26 x 1.75 with tires marked 26 x 2.125?
My girlfriend likes Hello Kitty, and Nirve has some 26 x 2.125 tires with hello kitty on them that I’d want to get if I could.
It should not be a problem. the 2.125 are just a little wider.

The 26 is the diameter and the 1.75 and 2.125 are the widths. Those 26 sizes use compatible rims so you can interchange them. But look at this page to see how complicated things can get.

it should not be a problem all that matters is that they are 26" the 1.75 are thinner and the 2.125 are a bit thicker but yeah you can switch them.

The rims should be able to fit the larger tire. But you need to check if you have that extra clearance on the bike frame. Just don’t mix fractional sizes with decimal: 26 x 1 3/4 is a different size than 26 x 1.75
In short, you’re probably good to go on the change.

The tires will fit your 26 inch rims. You will probably be OK, but take a look at the current tires on the bike to make sure you have some additional clearance between the tire and the fork up front and the stays in the back. If you have sufficient clearance for the wider tire, you should be good to go.

Your size is 700x26c the should fit and after you replaced them here’s one trick recheck your true because English to metric leaves a slight hop !

the rims wouldn’t be a problem, they would fit the 26 x 2.125. you should however check the clearance of the frame and the fork if the wider tires would fit both.
