UTV tire test reviews

-- Testing them on Wasatch Beadlock wheels -- By the staff of Dirt Wheels Tread with fresh edges just grips the dirt in such a satisfying way. Double that feeling when you get a tire that is perfectly suited to the terrain you drive. Rocky Mountain ATV MC’s house brand Tusk offers the Terrabite radial tires and have been joined in new sizes including 32x10-15. The tires measure 31.5 inches tall, and the 15-inch rim size is popular on the Polaris RZR S. The RZR S has nice, light conventional wheels with 32-inch ITP…

-- Testing traditional trail traction -- By the staff of Dirt Wheels UTVs keep changing quickly. When 26-inch-tall tires were the norm, we knew exactly what fit each machine for your favorite terrain, but now there are UTVs with 32-inch-tall desert tires running 15-inch rims with more power and suspension than most need.

Braven Offroad is part of Tire Mart, and Tire Mart has been in business for 77 years and owned by the same U.S. family. Interestingly, Braven starts the information about its new Berserker UTV tire by saying that there are “hundreds of tires to choose from” in the UTV market. As far as Braven goes, the only tire it sells at the moment is the…

-- Testing DOT-rated desert treads -- By the staff of Dirt Wheels We are stationed in Southern California, which means we have a ton of desert trails to ride. Mud and tight, wooded terrain is a lot more difficult to come by, so we do a lot of testing in rocks and wide-open desert. We test what matches that terrain, like the Maxxis Liberty UTV tire. This well-designed piece of rubber has been out for a while, but we wanted to get some hard miles on a 30-inch set before we wrote down our thoughts. THE TREAD…
