Whether you own an ATV, UTV, tractor, or lawnmower, it’s essential to inflate tires without damaging them. And it should go without saying to never drive on a flat tire.

You count on your tires to support your vehicle so you can work or play without any worries. By knowing the tire pressure they need and monitoring their condition, you can ensure they’re working efficiently.

It’s essential to keep the right amount of air in your tires by adequately inflating them. This process includes monitoring your tires’ air pressure and knowing when to put air in them. Tires don’t perform at their best and can present a safety hazard when low on air pressure.

At Tires4That, we want to help you get the most out of your work or recreational vehicle. We offer ATV, UTV, tractor, lawn mower, forklift, and trailer tires for sale online, in addition to wheels, assemblies, tubes, and flaps.

How to Inflate ATV Tires

The most common tire pressure for an ATV is 5-6 PSI (pounds per square inch), but it varies depending on the rider’s skills, the terrain, and the ATV itself. You should be able to find a recommended tire pressure range on the side of your ATV’s tires.

You’ll need an air pressure gauge made for an ATV that can give you accurate readings on changes as small as 1 PSI. Also, a portable air compressor is the easiest way to add air to your ATV’s tires.

To inflate tires without damaging them on your ATV, don’t exceed the highest number on the tire pressure range written on your tires. Adding air to an inflated tire past the highest recommended limit can burst the tire.

How to Inflate Tractor Tires

Tractor tires usually have an air compressor fitting, which lets you fill them without removing them from the wheel. Use an air compressor by attaching a tire chuck to the connector on the wheel hub, then use its pressure regulator to set airflow.

You can also use an air tank to inflate your tires manually. To do this, puncture a hole in the tire with a tire deflator, then place it over the valve stem on the wheel hub. Next, attach an air tank hose to the wheel hub’s connector, and open the valve to start inflation.

How to Inflate Tubeless Lawn Mower Tires

Most riding lawnmowers use tubeless tires. Tubeless lawn mower tires don’t use a separate rubber tube to hold air. Instead, the pressurized air is contained inside the tire, enabling it to support the lawn mower’s weight.

To inflate tires without damaging them on your lawn mower:

  1. 1. Use an air pressure gauge to record the air pressure inside each tire.
  2. 2. Connect the air pressure hose to the valve stem, and fill the tire with air.
  3. 3. Ensure it’s filled to the recommended level of air pressure, which you can find on the side of each tire.

How to Inflate Trailer Tires

You should inflate trailer tires to their maximum PSI of air pressure as listed on the tire's sidewall. When carrying maximum air pressure, the tires will perform and wear at their best and get better gas mileage. On the other hand, an underinflated tire can cause the sidewall to heat up, which can eventually cause tire failure.

You should always inflate trailer tires to their maximum pressure when cold. The slight increase in PSI is usual when they warm up on the road. The manufacturer bases the recommended tire pressure on cold inflation pressure.
