He has only had tire wear issues.

To me it follows logically that ATV's do not have a tranny as complicated as a car but I would think the same issues that effect a cars tranny while being towed could happen to the ATV. The ATV tranny usually operates on a centrifical clutch while the Car's are usually hydrolic. SO anything tha wold cause the tranny to turn or spin could effect the ATV more thanthe car. I still come back to the fact that if you have any trouble with the tranny on the ATV you could easily spend as much fixing it as you would for a trailer to haul them on.

I live less than 20 miles from where I do most of my riding and I would not use nor trust it. Any riding on packed gravel or paved roads will cause the tires to wear at a faster rate. Most ATV manuals say they are not designed to be used on roads. They do not specify what type of roads.

If you do decide to try it then I would change my oil frequently and check it for lots of metal shavings as that would be a sign of trouble.
