Choosing ATV Chains

When changing the chains on your ATV, it's important to take a few things into consideration. First, the thickness of the chain should be about 1/4 the thickness of the original metal. Then, the chain should be tight enough to avoid catching on the tires. Many ATVs are plagued by chain catching problems. This is particularly problematic for the front wheels, but the rear wheels are usually less troublesome. Lastly, make sure that you deflate your tires before changing your chains. This is because the tires will expand to take up any slack in the chains.

Tire chains can add additional traction on snow, mud, or ice, but they are also great for dry ground. They can even be useful when pulling a load or pushing a large amount of soil. Four-wheel drive ATV owners may also choose to add tire chains to all four tires to get maximum traction in all conditions.

ATV chains come in many styles. You can get a simple flat chain or a more specialized diamond-shaped chain to improve traction. Both of these options can offer a higher degree of traction than traditional chains, but you should use the one that suits your needs best. If you need aggressive traction, go for a chain with two robotically welded studs on every other link. They also have a smoother ride and come in boomer-end fasteners for easy tightening.

The three most common types of chains used on ATVs are drive chains, tire chains, and tow chains. Each chain provides a specific function and should be maintained properly. Most ATV chains are made of high-carbon steel for strength and durability, but they can also be made from nylon or plastic.

ATV chains are available in two-link or four-link spacing. The number of links in between the chains is important because the spacing of the chains affects how they perform. The two-link chain has more links on the tire face, while the four-link chain has four side chain links in between. Two-link chain spacing is generally more advantageous, and the extra link will give you a smoother ride and more control of the steering.

When choosing ATV chains, it is essential to choose the right type of tire. Some riders prefer to install chains on the back tires, while others prefer to install studs in the front. Installing studs on your tires will help reduce the risk of damaging the bike. Regardless of which type of tire you choose, make sure that the tire's lugs are large enough to hold the studs.

The width of the chain should also be taken into consideration. Most motorcycle chains have O-rings between the outer and inner plates, which seal in a factory-applied lubricant while protecting the chain from dirt. However, it's important to note that the type of O-ring doesn't change the width of the chain. It's best to measure the width of the chain using a digital caliper. Most motorcycle chains fall into one of the seven standard sizes.
