TIRE SIZE
! WARNING
Use only Arctic Cat approved tires when replacing tires.
Failure to do so could result in unstable vehicle opera-
tion.
The Wildcat Trail is equipped with low-pressure tubeless
tires of the size and type listed in General Information.
Do not under any circumstances substitute tires of a dif-
ferent type or size.
! WARNING
Always use the size and type of tires specified. Always
maintain proper tire inflation pressure.
CAUTION
Do not mix tire tread patterns. Use the same pattern
type on front and rear. Failure to heed warning could
cause poor handling qualities of the vehicle and could
cause excessive drive train damage not covered by war-
ranty.

fied in the General Information/Foreword section.
