Your CFMoto owner’s manual is the only source that guarantees the correct tire size, rim fitment, and cold pressure for your exact machine. Most ATV and UTV models run something close to AT 26x9-12 front and AT 26x11-12 rear, while motorcycles like the 700CLX use metric sizing such as 110/80 R18 front and 180/55 R17 rear. Always confirm against the manual for your specific model and year before you buy replacement tires.
TL;DR:
- Always verify tire size, rim fitment, and correct cold pressure against your specific owner’s manual before purchasing or installing new tires.
- Most CFMoto UTV and ATV models use 12-inch rims with 4x110mm bolt pattern, while motorcycles like the 700CLX have metric sizes such as 110/80 R18 front and 180/55 R17 rear.
- Proper inflation pressures are essential for safety and handling; specific recommended pressures vary by model and load, and should be checked cold before every ride.
- Mismatched rim width, incorrect bolt pattern, or wrong offset can cause fitment issues; always measure and cross-reference details before wheel swaps.
- Match tire tread type to your typical terrain, with all-terrain tires suitable for mixed conditions and mud tires for soft, wet environments, to maximize performance and longevity.

CFMoto Tire Size Chart by Model
Factory sizes vary enough between CFMoto’s ATV, UTV, and motorcycle lines that guessing gets expensive fast. The chart below pulls confirmed figures straight from manufacturer manuals and the ATVWheelSize CFMoto application chart, which cross-references tire size, rim size, offset, and bolt pattern across most production years.
These figures come from the UFORCE series owner’s manual and the 700CLX owner’s manual, the two most detailed public spec sheets CFMoto publishes.
CFORCE and ZFORCE numbers above represent common trims across recent model years, but CFMoto has adjusted rim width and tire diameter on certain sub-trims (the 1000 Overland versus the base ZFORCE 800, for example). If your unit doesn’t match these numbers exactly, check the VIN plate on the frame and cross-reference it against your specific manual before ordering tires. A one-inch difference in rim diameter is enough to make a tire physically impossible to mount.
How Do You Read a CFMoto Tire Size Number?
CFMoto ATVs and UTVs use inch-based notation, while its motorcycles use the metric format you’ll see on most street bikes. Once you know the pattern, reading either one takes about five seconds.
For ATV and UTV tires, a size like 26x9-12 breaks down as:
- 26 = overall tire diameter in inches
- 9 = tire width in inches
- 12 = rim diameter in inches
For motorcycle tires, a size like 110/80 R18 breaks down as:
- 110 = tire width in millimeters
- 80 = aspect ratio (tire height as a percentage of width)
- R = radial construction
- 18 = rim diameter in inches
You’ll sometimes also see a load index and speed rating printed after the size (like “58H”). Those codes tell you the tire’s maximum weight capacity and safe speed ceiling, and they matter more than most riders realize when swapping to aftermarket tires.
What Rim Size and Bolt Pattern Fit Your CFMoto?
Rim diameter and rim width aren’t the same measurement, and mixing them up is the fastest way to buy the wrong wheel. Diameter is the inside measurement where the tire bead seats. Width is the distance across the rim’s mounting surface, and it directly affects how the tire’s sidewall sits and how the vehicle handles.
- Most CFMoto UForce and CFORCE models run a 12-inch rim diameter with a 4x110mm bolt pattern.
- Larger ZFORCE and Overland trims commonly step up to a 14-inch rim, still typically on 4x110mm.
- Bolt pattern notation like “4x110mm” means four lug holes arranged on a circle with a 110mm diameter.
Pro Tip: Before swapping wheels, check center bore and offset, not just bolt pattern. A wheel can match the lug pattern perfectly and still rub the fender or throw off bearing load if the offset is wrong, so torque it down in the sequence specified in your CFMoto torque spec guide rather than a simple star pattern by feel.
What PSI Should CFMoto Tires Be?
Cold inflation pressure isn’t a suggestion. It’s engineered into how the suspension and CFMoto’s Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) work together, and running the wrong PSI throws that whole balance off. The 700CLX manual specifies example cold pressures around 250 kPa (36.3 PSI) front and 280 kPa (40.6 PSI) rear for certain load conditions, and ATV/UTV models carry their own separate figures for front and rear axles.
CFMoto’s manuals state plainly that operating a vehicle with improper tires or incorrect, uneven tire pressure “can cause loss of control” of the machine. That warning appears in the UFORCE 600 owner’s manual and is repeated in some form across nearly every CFMoto model line.
Check pressure cold, before the vehicle has been ridden that day, since heat from riding can add several PSI and give you a false reading. Re-check after hauling cargo or towing, since added load changes the ideal pressure. If one tire in a pair is worn unevenly, replace both on that axle together rather than pairing a new tire with a half-worn one.
Where Do You Find Official CFMoto Tire Specs?
CFMoto’s own owner’s and service manual repository is the first place to check, since it hosts model-specific PDFs with full spec tables. The ATVWheelSize chart works as a fast cross-reference when you need to compare trims side by side.
- Confirm your exact model, year, and VIN from the frame plate.
- Open the matching manual PDF and locate the tire and wheel specification table.
- Verify rim diameter, bolt pattern, and cold PSI before ordering anything.
Save the PDF to your phone or print the spec page. It saves an argument at the counter when you’re buying tires or having wheels swapped.
What Dirty Birdy Powersports Checks Before Installing Tires
Every tire fitment starts with the OEM size and bolt pattern straight from the manual, not a guess based on what “looks close.” Technicians measure rim width against the new tire’s recommended range and check cold PSI before the vehicle leaves the shop.
The most common mistakes we see: owners mounting a wider tire on a rim that’s too narrow for it, pairing mismatched tread depths front to rear, and ignoring the load index printed on the sidewall when upsizing for bigger terrain. Each one is avoidable with a five-minute manual check, and each one is a fitment problem we catch before it becomes a safety one.
How Do You Maintain Tires on a CFMoto ATV or UTV?
Tires on off-road CFMoto machines take a different kind of abuse than street tires, and a slightly different maintenance rhythm keeps them lasting longer.
Check pressure before every ride, not just weekly. Off-road terrain changes tire temperature and pressure faster than pavement does, and a soft tire on rocky trail is more likely to pinch or tear a sidewall. Inspect the tread for embedded rocks or debris after muddy or rocky rides. Small punctures often show up as slow leaks days later if they’re not caught early.
Rotate tires front to rear on UTVs and side-by-sides if you notice uneven wear, which is common on machines that see a lot of tight cornering. Front tires on most CFMoto UTVs wear faster on the outer edge from steering loads, so swapping them with the rear extends the set’s total life.
Watch sidewall condition closely on lower-profile ATV tires. Off-road obstacles like rocks and stumps stress the sidewall more than tread wear stresses the surface, and a cracked or bulging sidewall means immediate replacement, not a “wait and see.”
Store extra tires or seasonal sets away from direct sunlight and away from any oil or fuel residue on a garage floor, since UV exposure and petroleum contact both accelerate rubber breakdown. If your CFMoto sits for winter storage, either keep tires slightly overinflated to prevent flat-spotting or take the weight off them with a stand.
Which Tire Type Is Best for Your CFMoto?
The tread pattern matters as much as the size once you’re past the basic fitment question. All-terrain tires strike a balance of grip and longevity, and they’re the right call for most CFMoto UForce and CFORCE owners who split time between trails, gravel, and farm work. They wear evenly on mixed surfaces and don’t chew up pavement the way an aggressive mud tire does.
Mud tires trade everything for traction in soft, wet conditions. Deep, widely spaced lugs claw through muck that would clog a standard tread, but that same open design means more vibration and faster wear on hard-packed trail or road. If your riding is genuinely swampy or you’re running a ZFORCE in heavy backcountry, a mud-specific tire like the Braven Hellhound Uber XOR style construction earns its keep. If most of your riding is dry trail, it’s overkill that shortens tire life for no real benefit.
Street-oriented tires apply mainly to CFMoto’s motorcycle line, where the 110/80 R18 and 180/55 R17 sizing on the 700CLX is built around pavement grip and predictable handling rather than off-road traction. Matching tread type to actual riding conditions, not just the biggest lugs available, is where most owners either get real value out of a tire swap or waste money on capability they’ll never use.
What Actually Matters When You’re Choosing Replacement Tires
Factory size and load rating come first, full stop. Everything else, tread pattern, brand reputation, price point, is a secondary decision that only makes sense once the fitment is locked in. I’ve seen plenty of owners chase an aggressive-looking mud tire before checking whether their rim width even supports it properly.
Terrain comes second. Buy for the riding you actually do, not the riding you imagine doing twice a year. If you’re stepping outside stock sizing or adding wider wheels, get a dealership to check clearance and offset first. Nationwide delivery and parts support exist for exactly this reason: getting the right part shipped without guessing.

FAQ
What Is the Factory Tire Size for a CFMoto?
It depends entirely on the model. Most UForce and CFORCE ATVs run AT 26x9-12 front and AT 26x11-12 rear, while the 700CLX motorcycle uses 110/80 R18 front and 180/55 R17 rear. Check your owner’s manual for your exact model and year to confirm.
How Do I Find My Factory Tire Size?
Check the sidewall of your current tire, which stamps the size directly on the rubber, or pull up your model’s owner’s manual PDF and look for the tire specification table. The ATVWheelSize chart is a fast second reference if the manual isn’t handy.
Is CFMoto a Reliable Brand?
CFMoto has grown into one of the larger ATV and UTV manufacturers with detailed, publicly available service documentation for most of its lineup, which is a strong signal of manufacturer transparency. Build quality and reliability ultimately come down to maintenance, and following the factory tire and pressure specs in the manual is one of the simplest ways to protect the machine.
What Wheels Fit a CFMoto?
Wheel fitment depends on matching bolt pattern, center bore, and offset to your specific model, most commonly 4x110mm across the ATV and UTV lineup. Dirty Birdy Powersports checks all three before installing any wheel swap, since bolt pattern alone doesn’t guarantee a safe fit.
Where Can I Buy CFMoto Tires and Wheels?
