ATV wheel add-ons add traction, flotation

Seems like many RV folk are also ATV folk. Once you get your RV out to the boonies, there's nothing quite as fun as being able to cruise around in the back country. Here's an aftermarket add-on that says it will not only improve your off-road traction, it could save your neck if you wind up in water.

The J-Wheel product bolts up to your ATV's existing 23 to 26 inch wheels, giving your wheels a wider profile, adding to traction and stability. Built out of a material similar to what plastic auto bumpers are made of. Containing marine-grade foam, a set of four J-Wheelz will add 310 pounds of floatation ability to your rig. A company spokesman tells us this is enough to float many ATVs currently used in the US. "It won't turn your ATV into a Jetski," he says, "but it will keep you afloat." A particularly useful thing should you take your ATV out ice fishing and (perish the thought) the ice breaks away under your off-roader.

While the company is building up a network of retailers you can still order your J-Wheel set from the company direct on the Internet. A set of four of these fabulous floaters runs a suggested retail of $590. More information is available at j-wheelz.com.
