Tires are the single biggest performance upgrade you can make to an ATV or UTV. The right tire transforms how your machine handles. Here is how to choose by terrain type.
Mud Tires
Deep lugs (1.5" or more), widely spaced for self-cleaning, soft rubber compound. Top picks:
- Maxxis Zilla - Aggressive 1.5" lugs, excellent in deep mud, smooth highway ride for a mud tire
- ITP Mud Lite XTR - Budget-friendly entry, great for occasional mud
- Gorilla Silverback - Most aggressive option, competition-level mud performance
Rock Crawling Tires
Tight tread pattern, puncture-resistant casing, grippy compound over variable surfaces.
- Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 - Industry benchmark for rock traction and durability
- ITP Cryptid - Excellent puncture resistance, works in mud too
Sand / Dune Tires
Paddle design rear tires push through deep sand. Front ribbed tires steer without digging. ITP Sand Star and Dune Star are the go-to combo for most side-by-sides.
All-Terrain (Best Overall Value)
For riders who tackle mixed conditions, an aggressive all-terrain beats both mud and rock tires in everyday use.
- Maxxis Carnivore - Best all-around ATV/UTV tire on the market
- ITP Terra Hook - Outstanding cornering, works in soft and firm terrain
