The first step is ensuring the bolt pattern of the kit matches your Can-Am Maverick R as trying to get around the bolt pattern is simply a waste of money. Being such an advanced UTV, the Can-Am Maverick R uses a rather rare 6x139. 7 (6x5. 5) bolt pattern which means that it is a lot more specific compared to UTVs on sale. To alleviate yourself from matching your bolt pattern with your new wheels and tires, simply pre-select the Can-Am Maverick R from our shop, and we’ll match them for you! A mismatched bolt pattern can lead to improper fitting, compromising safety and performance. While adapters exist, they may not always provide the ideal solution, especially since they add more cost to the mix.
The aesthetic appeal of your Can-Am Maverick R matters as much as its functionality, especially since it’s so advanced in so many ways. Select wheel designs that complement your UTV's style, whether it's sleek machined finishes or rugged beadlock designs. Material choice is equally as important. Lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum wheels offer a blend of style and functionality. Steel wheels, though heavier, provide added strength for rough terrains. Beadlock wheels are beneficial for demanding off-road adventures, ensuring tire integrity even under extreme conditions. Tires with steel or kevlar reinforcement add durability and puncture resistance, key for enduring rough trails or high-speed pursuits.
Do keep in mind that you need to use tires designed for the environment you tend to drive over. Sand tires are perfect for dune adventures and desert explorations, mud tires excel in swampy trails, and snow tires are indispensable for winter escapades. All-Terrain tires provide a versatile option for varied landscapes. The tire compound is also crucial, affecting grip, wear, and performance in wet or high-speed conditions. Ensure the tire's design and compound are suited for your usual driving conditions for the best experience with your Can-Am Maverick R.
Buying your tires is only a part of the equation since maintaining them is also very important. As such, the correct tire pressure is essential for the handling, efficiency, and longevity of your Can-Am Maverick R. Regular checks and adjustments according to the manufacturer's guidelines are vital, considering your driving conditions. Regular inspections for damage and wear extend tire life and maintain performance. Rotation and proper storage of tires enhance their lifespan. Similarly, regular wheel maintenance, including cleaning brake dust and avoiding impacts, preserves their condition and functionality.
Consider how easily the pre-mounted kits can be installed on your Can-Am Maverick R, and it’s a very good idea to do it yourself since you don’t have to mount them. Kits that offer straightforward, hassle-free installation save time and effort. Additionally, assess if the wheel and tire combo allows for easy future upgrades or modifications, such as adding larger tires or changing wheel styles. This flexibility can be valuable as your needs and preferences evolve as you can do everything yourself.
