FAQs

Is this tyre suitable for rear ATV use?

No, the Maxxis MU09 Bighorn 2 Radial Front Tyre is specifically designed and optimized for use on the front axle of ATVs.

What does the '6PR' rating mean?

6PR (6 Ply Rating) indicates the tyre's strength and load-carrying capacity, equivalent to older tyre constructions with six actual plies. It signifies enhanced puncture resistance and durability.

Can I use these tyres on public roads?

The tyre is E-marked, which signifies compliance with European safety standards. However, you must verify local regulations regarding the use of specific ATV tyres on public roads in your area.

What is the difference between this and the original Bighorn tyre?

The MU09 Bighorn 2 is generally lighter and more competitively priced than the original Bighorn, while still offering excellent performance with its advanced radial construction and tread design.

How should I maintain tyre pressure?

Always refer to your ATV's owner's manual for the recommended tyre pressure. Maintain consistent pressure for optimal performance, handling, and tyre longevity.

What are the main benefits of radial construction for an ATV tyre?

Radial construction typically provides a more comfortable ride, better handling, improved stability, and enhanced traction compared to bias-ply tyres.

Troubleshooting

Tyre does not hold air pressure

Check for punctures, ensure the valve stem is properly sealed, and verify the tyre bead is seated correctly on the rim. Inspect the rim for damage or corrosion.

Uneven wear on the tread

Check wheel alignment and balance. Ensure tyre pressures are consistently maintained according to the ATV manufacturer's recommendations. Rotate tyres if applicable and feasible for your setup, though this specific tyre is front-only.

Reduced traction in specific conditions

Ensure the tyre tread is clear of mud or debris. Verify correct tyre pressure for the terrain. Consider if the terrain type exceeds the optimal performance range for this tyre model.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This tyre is specifically designed for the front of ATVs and has a rim size of 14 inches, a width of 9 inches, and an outer height of 27 inches. Ensure your ATV's wheel specifications match these dimensions before installation. The tyre is rated for a load index of 54 and a speed index of K. Always consult your ATV's manual for approved tyre sizes and specifications.

Installation: Professional installation by a qualified technician is recommended to ensure proper seating and safety. Ensure the tyre is mounted in the correct rotation direction as indicated by markings on the sidewall.

Care: Regularly inspect tyre pressure and maintain it at the manufacturer's recommended level for your ATV. Check for any signs of wear, damage, or foreign objects lodged in the tread. Keep the tyres clean from excessive mud, oil, or chemicals that could degrade the rubber compound. Proper maintenance will maximize the lifespan and performance of the tyre.
