Side by Side Tire Recommendations

[Chance Love]

Kanati Mongrels on my Mule Pro FXT. Also ran them on my Ranger EV I had before I got this Mule. They are DOT rated and a 10-ply. You're pretty close to me if you ever want to swing by and take a look. There is almost nothing I won't drive them through. My Mule came with Sedona Mud Rebels (the Kanati's were not an option at the dealer I bought the machine from). They looked cool, but didn't hold up like I thought they should. And they were just an 8-ply. Whatever you get, make sure it's at least a 10-ply.

I have use Kanati Mongrals on 2 buggies but have Moto Hammers on 2 Muke Pros in STX also. I like the 27x11 tire size for a Mule.

The down side is alot of the radial tires will require new 14" wheels.

The was a brand I found that had them in 12" wheels bit I can remember the name.

These are 8 ply radials that have 12" wheel sizes.

I run my FXT through a lot of South TX Brush and knock on wood, very few issues.

I put a small lift on mine and changed to 14" wheels. Yokohama Mud Terrain Light Truck Tires. They are holding up extremely well after 3 years.

You will never convince me that the "ply's" in an ATV tire are of equal quality to a light truck tire that is rated for highway use. 10 layers of cheap rubber isn't better than 6 layers of quality rubber.

Kanati for sure. Pick a direction and run over everything. DOT rated. Best there is. Anything that makes it back from multiple trips to west Texas is good in my book.

I worry about the weight and wear and tear of the truck tires. The Mule is not exactly a power house. Even with the 27x11s if you get in sand it can suck you down quick. I admit I put the Mules through hell but I eat up belts also. Even with the clutch kits sand and being loaded down takes its toll.

I have ITP Blackwaters on my 2017 Mule Pro FXT. They are excellent tires

here is a pretty good compilation on UTV tire weights. I was concerned as well when I was picking mine out 2 years ago. Mine gets a workout just about every day around the ranch. I installed a clutch kit, and keep it in low range when driving slow, loaded, or going up an incline. So far I have had no issues with my belt.

Thanks again for all the great suggestions....definitely got a nice short list of tires to look at after deer season!

I did the same on my Ranger. I had a set of Kuhmos, no slime, and two years of driving through everything in south Texas and never had a flat.

Look at the Roctane XDK. They make the regular XD but no kevlar. They are great in the conditions you are in. They will even run flat for a little bit. STI makes them and they aren't super heavy. I have 1200 miles on mine and still in great shape.

The weight difference is negligible. Even if it is 10# more per tire, what is 40 lbs? I will admit though, I am not doing any heavy mudding - mostly gravel and dirt roads.
