Best UTV Tires for the Can-Am Maverick X3

Start With Clearance, Not With a Catalog

The Maverick X3 makes tire shopping easy to get wrong, because the machine will turn almost anything and the catalog will sell you almost anything. The deciding fact is clearance. No listing anywhere states a tire size the X3 clears on stock arms in so many words, so we will not invent one — what our own catalog does verify is the top of the range: with the forward offset A-arms we stock, the X3 clears up to a 37-inch tire. That ceiling, and the full machine-by-machine picture, is laid out in our tire sizes by machine guide. Everything below is a tire we stock in sizes an X3 runs, from the all-round 32 to the full-send 37 — and if you are between sizes, the honest answer is to measure your machine and call us before you order.

The Lineup

Maxxis Roxxzilla — The Rock Tire

The X3's natural habitat includes rock gardens, and the Roxxzilla is the tire built for them: a soft, high-grip tread in standard and competition (sticky) compounds, with the sticky version trading tread life for outright climbing grip. It is the tire X3 owners graduate to when the trail turns vertical. Our sticky vs standard guide covers when the soft compound earns its keep, and the rock crawling guide puts it in context against the rest of the rock shelf.

Single: 32x10x15 competition $389.00 · 35x10x15 competition $414.00 · 37x10x17 competition $387.00 — Maxxis Roxxzilla · Set of 4 with repair kit: 37x10x17 sticky $1,350.00 — Roxxzilla 37 set

Maxxis Carnivore — The All-Terrain Answer

Where the Roxxzilla is a specialist, the Carnivore is the X3 tire for everything else: a light truck-inspired all-terrain that handles desert, trail and rock without giving up road manners between them. It runs 28 to 35 inches as singles, and the 37 exists as a set for the arm-equipped builds. If your X3 sees mixed terrain instead of a single discipline, this is the default recommendation.

Single: 32x10R15 $345.00 · 35x10R15 $369.00 — Maxxis Carnivore · Set of 4 with repair kit: 37x10x17 $1,250.00 — Carnivore 37 set

System 3 XTR370 — The Crossover With Shoulders

The XTR370 earns its place on an X3 by being two tires in one: an 8-ply rated all-terrain with squared, protected shoulders that keeps working when the trail turns to mud or rock between the fast sections. The 35 is the size X3 owners ask for most when they want one tire for a whole season of mixed riding.

Single: 35x10-15 $420.81 — System 3 XTR370

ITP Terra Hook and Savage XT — The New School

ITP's two newest trail lines both size up to a 35 for the X3. The Terra Hook is the rock-biased trail tire — big biting edges, reinforced shoulders — and the Savage XT is ITP's aggressive all-terrain, sold as singles and as discounted sets of four, in standard RG2 and harder HARC compounds. Both are covered in depth in our trail tire guide.

Single: Terra Hook 35x10r15 $396.31 — ITP Terra Hook · Set of 4: Savage XT 35x10R15 RG2 $1,510.00 — ITP Savage XT set

Before You Buy

• The 37 is an arms-first purchase. The verified 37-inch ceiling comes with forward offset A-arms fitted. On stock arms, stick to measuring your machine at full lock and full compression — or ask us; X3 fitment is a conversation we have daily.
• Bolt pattern is 4x137 on the X3. It matters the moment wheels enter the picture — our bolt pattern guide covers it, and our mounted wheel and tire packages include X3-fitment kits like the Terrabite on a Can-Am-pattern V07 beadlock at $2,095.00.
• Compound is a real decision. Sticky tires grip and wear; standard tires last. On a machine with the X3's power, the wrong compound choice is the expensive one.
