Build a UTV tire and wheel setup that fits the work.

Browse UTV tires and wheels by exact fitment, terrain, load, size, offset, pressure, and machine clearance.

Fitment, terrain, and machine-load path

Choose the tread, size, and wheel as one system.

A UTV tire or wheel is a machine-fit decision before it is a style decision. Start with bolt pattern, diameter, width, offset, load, and brake clearance, then match the tread and casing to mud, rock, hardpack, snow, pavement, or mixed trail use.

The same nominal tire size can measure differently by brand and rim width. Confirm the exact machine, hub pattern, offset, tire position, load, pressure, suspension, brake clearance, gearing, and whether a listing is for one tire or one wheel before ordering.

  1. 01

    Lock the fitment numbers

    Record the current size at every corner, bolt pattern, wheel diameter and width, offset, center bore, lug hardware, and the space around brakes, steering, suspension, fenders, and bodywork. Use the maker's application chart instead of assuming a tire will fit because the diameter looks close.

  2. 02

    Match the casing to the route

    Mud-biased tread can clear soft ground but may add noise and wear on gravel. Radial all-terrain casings can smooth mixed hardpack and rock, while a lighter tire may be easier on steering and bearings. Choose around the route, load, speed, pressure, and seasonal changes you actually run.

  3. 03

    Price the complete four-corner change

    Check whether the listing is for one tire or wheel, then add valve stems, lug hardware, mounting, balancing, spare strategy, pressure setup, and any gearing or clearance work. Added diameter and unsprung weight can change steering, braking, bearings, and service costs.

01

Mixed-trail all-terrain

Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 Radial ATV/UTV Tire

A strong starting point for rocky, rooty, and hardpack access trails. Maxxis describes the Bighorn 2.0 as a lightweight radial version with slimmer lugs and a non-directional pattern. Confirm the exact front or rear size and load before building a set.

02

Mud and value

ITP Mud Lite XTR ATV/UTV Tire

Choose the Mud Lite XTR when soft ground and mud clearing matter more than quiet pavement miles. Compare the bias or radial construction, exact size, pressure, and the way aggressive tread will wear on gravel before ordering a full set.

03

Wheel fit and finish

ITP SS212 14-inch Aluminum UTV Wheel

A proven one-piece aluminum wheel route for owners who already know the hub pattern, diameter, width, and offset they need. Verify the exact SS212 variant, bolt pattern, load rating, lug hardware, and tire pairing before checkout.

What to compare

Start with these three questions.

Once you know how and where you will use the gear, the specifications become much easier to compare.

  1. 01

    Exact fitment

    Bolt pattern, diameter, width, offset, tire size, load rating, suspension, and brake clearance all must agree.

  2. 02

    Terrain

    Mud, rock, hardpack, snow, pavement, and mixed trail use reward different tread, carcass, and sidewall choices.

  3. 03

    Machine impact

    Added size and weight can change gearing, steering, braking, bearings, clearance, and warranty coverage.

Category FAQ

Before you choose.

How do I know what UTV tire size will fit?

Start with the exact make, model, year, trim, current tire at each corner, wheel diameter and width, bolt pattern, offset, suspension, and brake or fender clearance. Use the tire maker's application data and measure the actual machine. Nominal size alone does not confirm steering, body, or suspension clearance.

Should I choose radial or bias UTV tires?

Radial tires can give a smoother ride and more stable contact on mixed or faster routes, while bias tires can be a lower-cost choice for slower utility and mud work. Compare casing, load, pressure, terrain, heat, pavement use, and replacement cost for the machine rather than treating one construction as universally better.

Can I run different UTV tire sizes front and rear?

Some UTVs use different front and rear sizes, but the exact machine, drivetrain, wheel width, clearance, and manufacturer's guidance control the answer. Confirm the rolling diameter, load, pressure, and four-wheel-drive requirements before mixing sizes or changing only one axle.

Do bigger UTV tires change how the machine drives?

Yes. Added diameter, width, and unsprung weight can change gearing, acceleration, steering effort, braking, bearings, clutch or belt load, clearance, and the accuracy of the speed display. Check the machine's limits and plan for the complete change, including pressure and service.
