Tires

! WARNING
Always use the size and type of tires
as specified. Refer to the specifica-
tions chart for proper tire inflation
pressure, and always maintain proper
tire inflation pressure.
Tire Tread Condition
48
The use of worn-out tires on this vehicle
is very dangerous. A tire is considered to
be worn out when the depth of the tread
is less than 3 mm (1/8 in.). Be sure to
replace the tires before reaching this min-
imum specification.
The use of worn-out tires is danger-
ous and can increase the risk of an
accident.
Tire Replacement
This vehicle has low-pressure tubeless tires.
Air is sealed by the contact surfaces of the
inner wheel rim and the tire bead. If either
the inner wheel rim or tire bead is damaged,
air may leak. Be extremely careful not to
damage these areas when replacing tires.
It is very important to use the proper
tools when repairing or replacing tires to
WT106A
prevent damage to the tire bead or wheel
rims. If proper tools and related items are
not available, have this maintenance per-
formed by an authorized Arctic Cat
dealer or a qualified tire repair station.
When breaking the tire bead loose
from the wheel, be extremely careful
not to damage the inner wheel sur-
face or the tire bead.
Use only Arctic Cat approved tires
when replacing tires. Failure to do so
could result in unstable operation.
Tubeless Tire Repair
Should a leak or flat tire occur due to a punc-
ture, the tire may be repaired using a plug-
type repair. If the damage is from a cut or if
the puncture cannot be repaired using a plug,
the tire must be replaced. When operating
the vehicle in areas where transportation or
service facilities are not readily available, it
is strongly recommended to carry a plug-
type repair kit and a tire pump along.

Wheels

1. Park the vehicle on level ground, shift
