H1 (65A) - All-terrain, hard pack, fast, street/city use, with extra long tread life. Users can expect upwards of 4,000 miles with the H1 compound. What are durometer ratings? IS THE TANGO DOT APPROVED? No. The Tango UTV Tire is not a DOT certified tire. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states that Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) and All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) tires offered for sale in the United States incorrectly labeled and marketed as being compliant with DOT Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) are prohibited. This means that the symbol “DOT” cannot appear on any ATV, UTV, or Not for Highway Service (NHS) tire. Only tires intended for a vehicle certified to the FMVSS are legally permitted to be marked with “DOT” and may be marketed as conforming to the FMVSS. Language that tires are “approved,” “certified,” or “compliant” with DOT standards are also prohibited per FMVSS standards. Refer to NHTSA and FMVSS statement below: According to 49 U.S.C. § 30102, a “motor vehicle” is defined as: (7) ‘‘motor vehicle’’ means a vehicle driven or drawn by mechanical power and manufactured primarily for use on public streets, roads, and highways, but does not include a vehicle operated only on a rail line. Based on this definition, there are no FMVSS that apply to UTV or ATV tires, because UTVs and ATVs are not manufactured for use on public roadways. Additionally, 49 C.F.R. § 574, Tire Identification and Recordkeeping states: 49 C.F.R. § 574.5(e)(1) - The DOT symbol constitutes a certification that the marked tire conforms to an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. And: 49 C.F.R. § 574.5(e)(3) – The DOT symbol must not appear on tires to which no Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard is applicable.

TANGO LOAD RATING / SPEED INDEX The Tango UTV tire follows the NHS/TRA speed/load index specifications. Tires that have NHS in the tire size or designated on sidewall are designed for off highway applications ONLY. They must not be used in normal highway service. NHS tires are not intended for the speeds, temperatures, or stresses of highway use. TIRE SIDEWALL MARKS EXAMPLE: VTT-320950R15H1 VTT - Valor Alpha Tire 32 - Tire diameter 0950 - Tire width (9.50") R - Radial construction 15 - Wheel diameter H1 - Tire compound Tire diameter refers to the overall diameter/height of the tire. For SxS specific tires, the tire diameter is always in inches and is typically the spec that people refer to when they talk about tires. Tire width refers to the width of the tire's contact patch or aspect ratio. This measurement is important for people who have vehicle width limitations (trailer or garage) as the wider the tire, the wider your vehicle will end up. 9-10" is a very common width range for SxS specific tires. Radial construction tires are built with cords, or plies, that run perpendicular to the direction of travel, and belts under the tread. This gives them a smoother ride and helps prevent heat build-up, which can make the tires last longer. If your tire is not Radial, you have bias-ply tires which are built with plies that are layered so they crisscross over each other. This creates a more rugged design, with greater puncture resistance in the sidewall. Wheel diameter refers to the available wheel diameter. In this example, a 15" wheel was engineered to work with this tire size. SxS wheels are typically 7" wide so the preferred wheel for this tire would be a 15x7". Tire compound refers to what materials/ingredients are used during manufacturing process to produce attributes like stiffness, rebound and adhesive. The H1 compound is a balanced medium soft compound with high grip and long lasting wear. What do my tire sidewall number and marks mean? WARNINGS We recommend having your utv wheels and utv tires mounted by a professional to ensure proper bead seating. When mounting any tire to a wheel, please take notice of maximum inflation PSI specification. This spec is located on the sidewall of all tires as required by law. It is the user's responsibility to adhere to this posted specification and NEVER overinflate past manufacturer's maximum inflation PSI. If you are having difficulty beading any tire on wheel during mounting, ALWAYS use a tire cage to pevent damage, injury or death. Damage to property, injury or death may occur if tire overinflation beyond maximum inflation PSI.
