UTV tires are about as varied as the machines themselves, so choosing a new set for your side-by-side can seem like quite the daunting task. Make it easier on yourself by shopping from our massive collection at Rocky Mountain ATV/MC. With tires broken down by brand, size, terrain, ply rating, construction, and certification, our easy-to-use website makes it simple to narrow down the options until you find the tire you need.
The type of tire you need depends on the type of riding you’re doing. Are you rock crawling? Tearing through the dunes? Cruising through mountain trails? Wherever and however you ride, we have the tire for you.
An important element of SXS tires is their size. There are three numbers that indicate a UTV tire’s size. The first number represents height, the second represents width, and the third represents the rim diameter. There is room for customization in UTV tire size if you want your machine to be higher or wider, but it’s best to check your owner’s manual before making any drastic changes.
The tread pattern is another point to consider. Different types of tread handle better in different areas. For example, an aggressive tread pattern with deep lugs can bite loose terrain and keep you moving faster. The height and width and spacing of the lugs, as well as the specific design, are carefully developed to optimize the performance of UTV in varying terrains. Loose terrain like mud, snow, and sand respond well to deep, paddle-type lugs, while many tires designed for rocky terrain use a crisscross or zig-zag pattern to maximize grip. Look for the tread you think could handle the terrain you’re going to be riding on.
Side-by-side tires also come in different ply ratings. Ply ratings indicate the tire’s strength – the higher the ply rating, the stronger the tire. Tires will come in 4-ply, 6-ply, 8-ply, and 10-ply ratings. SXSs typically require heavier ply tires as the machines are considerably heavier than ATVs, so a good rule to follow is: the more rigorous you’re riding, the higher ply your tire should be.
You will also want to be aware of the tire’s construction. Some side-by-side tires use a radial construction, others use a bias construction. The difference beteween the two is how the cords are laid inside the tire. In radial UTV tires, the cords are laid at a 90° angle, making the tires stiffer and more durable. Bias UTV tires are made from cords laying at 30° and 60° angles. This makes the tires more flexible for harder, rockier terrains, but also allows them to break down faster.

Replaced stock Raptor tires with these XCT before heading to Hatfield McCoys Pocahontas and Indian Ridge trails. These get great grip on rocks and sidewall ruts. Only negative is one seems more rounded than the other at the same psi.

Great tire for the desert and everything in between. Would only use Maxxis's for anything off-road

Overall pretty good, they did wear alittle faster than expected but hooked good

Excellent choice for the value. As is typical with this design, you do get some drift trying to steer in snow and mud. But the traction is all there when you need it. I went with matching tires and wheels on all 4 corners. It is worth noting that they run small. My 26x9x12 are just over 24 inches tall.

These tires are incredible. If having to much traction is a problem then don't get these tread monsters. They are by far the best mud tires I have ever run.They work fine in the summer also.You might want to get fender extensions because these baby's throw fist size mud clods.

I received my tires in a matter of a few days. They were installed on 12 inch rims and are 27 inch tires. These tires are a lot quieter on the black top than the stock tires. They have been good in the mud and are a little bit rougher riding in the woods but I think it's because of the 8 ply rating. I highly recommend these tires.
