The size of ATV tires is printed on the side of its tires.

An all-terrain vehicle, or ATV, is designed for off-road. As such, its tires have treads designed for dirt and mud. The size of the tire is printed on the side of the tire and uses the format 25-14-8. These numbers correspond to the height, width and rim size, respectively. However, you can measure these numbers yourself with just a tape measure to confirm sizes.
