    In a bit of UTV tire quandary

    So my itp mud lites finally succumbed to dry rot ( 16 yrs old) ! I purchased this 2004 3010 transmule last year and I never liked these tires at least for the Sandy soils I work it on. I’m in Sandy country and if it gets a bit wet/soggy those aggressive itp’s just dig down too deep and once they’ve broken the crust it’s game over. It has 28’s on it and I’m going back down to 26’s but 11 wide in the front and 12 wide on the rear for less ground bearing pressure. I’ve looked online but I haven’t found any info for a (at) type tire and the only other thing i see are paddle tires and that’s definitely a no go.

    Hepp a man out green screen.

    I hear good thing about Tusk Terrabites. That’s probably what I will go with when it’s time to replace the stock tires on my Mule

      Check out the tires on the Gators they use on golf courses.

        Look up SUNF tires on Amazon. That’s what I put on mine. They do pretty good in the sandy soil I hunt in. Wide footprint,not too aggressive.

          Man I put these on my Kubota and am forever fixing flats. It’s probably my bad as I should have put sealant in them from day 1. Tread has held up great but I’d definitely put sealant in them.

              Are these fairly smooth on hard ground?

                I have the Tusk Terrabite Aramid tires. They are the Kevlar lined version of the regular Terrabite. I went ahead and put sealant in them also. They’ve held up great so far to the south Texas mesquite, cactus, etc

                    10 ply With sealant? I think you are very well prepared!

                      Thanks for the heads up. Yeah I think for most of Texas sealant is a must, they have to better than the crappy 4 ply stocks I’m running now

                          Bighorn 2.0s are ok in soft soil and hard pack. Id look another direction if you have any rocks or brush. Have had them on 4 different machines now, and I’d never pay to put them on a machine. They came factory on all of our Can Ams. We’ve torn up a handful, and have to fix a flat just about every time we want to ride. That is with Slime in them as well.

                            I definitely think the bighorn is more durable than the mud lites he was happy with for 16 years. And the bighorn probably is one of best hard pack sandy tire out there.

                              You can pick up a pair of slightly used bighorns cheap.
