People often overlook important details regarding the maintenance of their car, thus most of the time shortening its lifespan and in some extreme cases even putting lives in danger. Although tampering with vehicles is not recommended (and is also illegal in most countries), the owner still has an active role in deciding which parts can fully meet their needs.
When it comes to vehicles, there are two elements that must be properly known and understood: services and parts. Generally, automotive services such as oil changes, wheel alignment or brake repair are carried out by professional mechanics, in authorized services that can guarantee their quality of work. However, this basic product is not a reason why people shouldn’t know how to perform a simple oil change when needed. When it comes to oil changes (and most automotive services), most countries make it mandatory that they be done at least once a year. A simple oil change is one of the actions that can prolong the car’s working life and may be necessary between three and twenty-four months, depending on the driver’s habits and, of course, the type of vehicle.
Even if a certain quality control is imposed for all services, things tend to change when talking about the auto parts industry. Most of the time it happens with a poorly made mirror or headlamp, but when important elements such as tires are not properly made, the safety of the driver and passengers can no longer be guaranteed. This is even more relevant for ATV enthusiasts, who rely heavily on the quality of their tires.
There are different models of ATV tires, and although some of them are considered “the best for any terrain”, you really need to know what you need them for. The main choice is usually between comfort and resistance on rough terrain. When used daily, most manufacturers typically recommend less aggressive ATV tires, for more “nice” wrinkles; however, if used infrequently and in extreme driving conditions, an 8-ply carcass tire is likely to be a much better fit for your needs. The same comfort factor is essential when choosing between radial and bias ATV tires. Of course, most dealers and manufacturers offer guidance on the decision process, so you should always direct any queries to specialist staff.
No matter what you want to invest in, always look for products with a quality guarantee because they will almost always prove to be reliable in the long run.
