All of these sizes are now available except the 26×9-14 and 26×11-14, which will be coming soon. This sizing is ideal for most popular utility/4WD ATVs and side-by-side UTVs. This tire was rolled out at the recent High Lifter Mud Nationals in Texas and was an instant hit, selling out as fast as they could be brought out. It’s easier on the machine, and when comparing costs, it’s also much easier on the budget. This allows for smoother, more versatile performance when not slinging mud in your favorite bog. The lugs range from 1.125 to 1.250 inches tall depending on tire size. It still delivers maximum traction in deep mud from its distinctive, aggressive, widely spaced tread pattern, but with less bulk. The Silverback-XLite takes most of the features of the original Silverback and puts them in a lighter and more value-oriented package. This new tire is based on one of the most successful mud tires of all time-the Gorilla Silverback-but the XLite is more accessible and useful to more riders. Mud enthusiasts around the country spoke, and we listened. I’ve worked at ATV dealerships in sales, parts, and also service.STI Tire & Wheel is thrilled to announce the release of its all-new Silverback-XLite. I have also owned many different ATV’s (mostly Can-AM) and side by sides. Yet, all over the internet, everyone claims the best tire is the Kenda Bearclaw. Sure it’s a great tire and I know why so many people like it (it’s priced right). The Gorilla Silverback 32' tires are the largest and most aggressive ATV tire on the market The Gorilla Silverback 32x10x14 6 Ply rating weighing in at 49 Lbs. I don’t consider the Bearclaw the best ATV tire your money can buy. The most aggressive tread available on an ATV tire. What I consider the best tire for an ATV has stemmed from years of use and abuse. The tire that has not let me down and got me through the worst of terrain and still keeps on going, the Carlisle A.C.T HD ATV Tire. *This completely changes when it comes to side by sides as I prefer the Maxxis BigHorn 2.0. This could all change in 2017 or 2018 when they come out with new tires. For now, I consider these tires to be one of my go-to recommendation for ATV tires.Īfter reading many odd reviews by people who seem to have never seen an ATV or Side by Side, I’m not sure how they come to the conclusion that the Bearclaw is the best. The Bearclaw to me is just the “spare tire” or I’m broke and need a basic tire. Now the Bearclaw will work just fine for most, but swapping it out and then riding on pavement you can tell the Carlisle is a better-built tire. Not everyone is going to need the same tire. Some people need mud tires, and some need snow tires. The Carlisle Tire I mention is a good all-around tire. No matter if its mud, snow, gravel, or pavement it will work just fine. If you spend more time in the mud, then the Carlisle ACT HD tire is not going to be good enough. 6 Ply rating Features the deepest tread pattern available at 2.5 inches Lug wraps all the wat to bead. A tire that will be good enough is the Gorilla Silverback. The Gorilla Silverback is the largest ATV tire on the market today. I consider the Gorilla Silverback to be one of the best Mud ATV Tire on the market, and a lot of manufacturers of ATV’s see that and are putting these things on stock machines. The Silverback is also a great snow tire for that deep powdered snow. Since everyone needs an ATV tire for different needs, I’ve compiled a list of the tires I consider to be the perfect tire for that category. The Best Tire for:Īll-Purpose/ Trail: Carlisle A.C.T HD ATV TireĬompacted Snow/ Using Snow Plow: Maxxis MU09 26x9x14 Big Horn 2.0 When Is It Time For New Tires?ĪTVs don’t have wear bars like a car or truck would have, but you can see an ATV tire wear out a lot better than a car. When the nubs on the tires of the ATV start to disappear, then it is time to get new tires.Īnother and more often obvious is when the tires start to dry rot. This happens due to the tires being aged beyond their regular use or left exposed to elements. It’s best not to drive on dry rotted tires as they will soon go out. If your tires look like the tires below, then it’s way beyond time for new ones. This is an example of mine from an old ATV I had that I ran into the ground. Never let your tires end up like this, there are no nubs anywhere on this tire, and the steel belting is showing.
