Carlisle AT489 II All-Terrain ATV/UTV Tire
Give your ATV or side-by-side a confident, all-around upgrade with the Carlisle AT489 II. It grips packed dirt, light mud, gravel, and grass, and keeps the ride smooth and predictable. A sturdy casing carries work loads, and open tread channels clear debris to maintain traction. If you want reliable, easygoing performance in mixed terrain without sacrificing comfort, the AT489 II is a smart value.
Specifications and Key Features
Staggered lugs and open voids maintain bite on loose surfaces and help the tread clean itself. Rounded shoulders improve steering feel and keep the tire tracking predictably in ruts and across uneven ground. A reinforced casing resists cuts and impacts, and a balanced compound aims for long wear with dependable grip in varied temperatures. Many sizes are tubeless ready for standard ATV/UTV rims, and together these features deliver a versatile mix of traction, comfort, and work-ready stability.
Performance on Different Terrains
On hardpack and gravel, the AT489 II tracks steadily with predictable braking and cornering, while its channels shed small stones. In grass and light mud, staggered lugs dig in for forward bite and resist spin. The rounded profile rolls smoothly from center to shoulder, so steering stays confident as terrain changes. For deep mud or technical rock crawling, a more aggressive pattern is better, but for work sites, hunting paths, and weekend trails, this tire strikes a practical balance.
Sizes and Fitment Guide
The AT489 II comes in popular ATV/UTV sizes to match common OE fitments. Start by confirming size, load rating, and recommended pressure on your owner’s manual, door jamb label, or current tire sidewall. Keep overall diameter and width close to stock unless your wheels and suspension allow the clearance and gearing changes. Not sure what fits? Share your year, make, model, and current size and we’ll verify a compatible option.
Pricing and Value
Price varies by size, construction, and availability. Larger diameters and higher load versions typically cost more, and regional inventory can influence checkout totals. In return, you get a versatile all-terrain tread with dependable manners and a durable build for recreation and light utility. Add your size to cart for current pricing, shipping options, and delivery estimates, and watch for promos on common OE sizes.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
For best results, have a powersports shop mount the AT489 II with the proper safety equipment. Match the tire to the recommended rim width, set pressure to your vehicle specification, and re-torque wheel fasteners after installation and after your first ride. Rotate front to rear when sizes match to even out wear, and inspect tread and sidewalls for cuts or embedded debris after rough use. Adjust pressure for heavier loads or sustained higher speeds, staying within the limits on the sidewall and in your owner’s manual.
Carlisle AT489 II vs Alternatives
Riders often compare the AT489 II with both its predecessor and other all-terrain trail models. It emphasizes everyday usability, staying steady on hardpack, capable in light mud, and comfortable over longer rides. If you need sharper rock traction or deep mud evacuation, a more aggressive, terrain-specific pattern may fit better, while utility-focused treads can prioritize longevity over grip. Match tread aggressiveness to your terrain mix and load needs for the best value.
AT489 II vs Carlisle AT489 (original)
The AT489 II keeps the approachable, OE friendly character of the original AT489 and refines tread geometry and casing support for stability and predictable handling. Riders coming off worn OE AT489s will find a familiar feel with cleaner manners on mixed terrain. If you liked the balance of the original, the AT489 II is a natural replacement with updated performance.
AT489 II vs Maxxis Bighorn
Compared with the Maxxis Bighorn, the AT489 II usually rides more comfortably for everyday trails and light utility work. The Bighorn’s more aggressive lugs can add bite in rough rock and deeper mud. Choose the AT489 II if your riding skews toward comfort and mixed surfaces, or the Bighorn if you regularly face rock gardens or sloppy mud. Always verify size, load, and clearance before switching.
AT489 II vs Kenda Bearclaw
The AT489 II aims for balanced, predictable trail performance and a smoother ride. The Kenda Bearclaw’s claw-style lugs can boost forward bite in softer soils. If you prioritize comfort, even wear, and day-to-day versatility, the AT489 II fits well. For consistently soft, rutted, or muddy routes, the Bearclaw’s added aggression may be advantageous.
