Selection criteria

The nature of the terrain is also important in the choice of tires. So if the competition takes place on sandy ground, you will choose very aggressive tires with a large pallet structure that propulsera the quad efficiently.

This type of tire has a flexible structure and rounded profile and offers little resistance to punctures. The front tires have a few studs in the form of bars placed in the direction of travel in order to stay on course. The rear tires have large studs to give maximum traction in this type of ground.

The practice on quad on “in deep mud” ground justifies the choice of adapted tires. This type of tire has excellent mud traction and will not be used on a dry surface. It is a very stiff and puncture resistant tire. Due to its rigidity, it does not absorb the imperfections of the terrain and is uncomfortable for the driver. Its enormous studs give it incredible traction. Designed for sloughs or very wet areas such as swamps, this tire easily deteriorates paths by digging ruts. Fitting this type of tire increases ground clearance.

In competition, the choice of tire rubber can be decisive. Usually these are the most widely used "medium" erasers (blue logo). They grip well on wet ground and do not wear out too quickly on dry ground.

Tip

A pressure between 0,4 and 0,7 bar for sporty quad tires is recommended.
