9 Tips for Buying a Used ATV

Start With the Tires

Shine your flashlight around each tread block and around both sidewalls to look for cracks and missing chunks of rubber. ATV tires age and crack, just like car tires. Once they develop cracks, they’re dangerous to ride on. If one tire is cracked and has the same wear as the others, plan on replacing the complete set. That can easily cost upward of $480 with mounting labor.
