Best UTV Tires for Mud

What Makes a Mud Tire

Mud is a traction problem with a cleanup problem stacked on top of it. A real mud tire needs tall, widely spaced lugs that bite down to something solid, big open void between those lugs so the tire can paddle and then throw the mud back out instead of slicking over, sidewall lugs that keep pulling when the tire is buried to the rim in a rut, and a carcass that survives being aired down and spun against roots and stumps. Everything else — highway manners, tread life, quiet — is a distant second. These are the mud tires we stock, from dedicated bog rubber down to all-terrains that hold their own on a mud day, and most of them pair with the beadlock setups mud riders run to air down safely.

The Lineup

High Lifter Outlaw Max — The Dedicated Mud Tire

The Outlaw name is the one mud riders measure everything else against, and the Outlaw Max is the current flagship: a purpose-built mud tire in sizes from 28 inches all the way to a 44 for full portal builds. If your riding is bogs, swamp trails and mud parks, this is the tire the rest of the page is compared to. The Outlaw M/T is the slightly more trail-tolerant sibling for riders who mud hard but still cover ground between holes.

Single: Outlaw Max 28x10R14 $259.95 · 32x10R14 $311.95 · 35x10R20 $369.95 · 44x10R24 $518.95 — High Lifter Outlaw Max · Outlaw M/T 28x10R14 $261.95 · 35x10R15 $385.95 — High Lifter Outlaw M/T

EFX MotoHavok — Ag Tread, Big Sizes

The MotoHavok borrows its tread idea from agricultural rubber: a 6-ply tire with a deep, chevron-style pattern made to dig and clean out in soft ground. It runs tall — 30 inches up to a 45x10-24 — which makes it a favorite for lifted and portaled mud builds that have outgrown standard sizes. Our portal gear lift guide covers the hardware that usually comes with tires this size.

Single: 30x8.5-16 $238.00 · 32x8.5-16 $228.00 · 35x8.5-20 $276.00 · 37x9.5-22 $344.00 · 45x10-24 $503.00 — EFX MotoHavok

System 3 XTR370 — The Mud / All-Terrain Crossover

The XTR370 is what to buy when mud is half your season instead of all of it: an 8-ply rated carcass under tall, squared lugs that dig into soft ground and clean themselves out, with a shoulder design that guards the sidewall when the trail turns rocky between mud holes. It is the most versatile tire on this page, and the one we would pick for a machine that has to do everything.

Single: 28x10-14 $279.45 · 30x10-14 $298.29 · 32x10-15 $329.67 · 35x10-15 $420.81 — System 3 XTR370 (sets of 4 in the Tire Package Deal collection)

Atturo Trail Blade Boss — Most Aggressive, Least Money

The most aggressive side-by-side tire Atturo makes: deep 23/32-inch lugs with rim protection, made to claw through deep mud and still hold on rock, with functional sidewall lugs that keep biting in a rut. The carcass is 8-ply rated, and Atturo's Trail Hazard coverage is included — flat repairs and prorated replacement protection for 24 months at no extra charge. Aggression per dollar, nothing else here touches it.

Single: 28x10R14 $207.00 · 30x10R14 $227.80 · 32x10R15 $248.60 · 35x10R15 $300.60 — Atturo Trail Blade Boss

Sedona Mud Rebel and Mud Rebel R/T — Two Takes on the Same Job

Sedona's mud line comes in two constructions. The Mud Rebel R/T is the radial, 8-ply version in the sizes modern UTVs run — 25 to 28 inches — and rides the best of the Sedonas on the trail between holes. The original Mud Rebel is a bias tire in the smaller ATV and early-UTV sizes, at the lowest prices on this page. Both are built around the same idea: open, self-cleaning tread that keeps working when the hole gets deep.

Single: Mud Rebel R/T 25X8R12 $175.95 · 28X10R14 $244.95 — Sedona Mud Rebel R/T · Mud Rebel 25x8-12 $128.95 · 27x10-14 $187.95 — Sedona Mud Rebel

Tusk Megabite — The Budget All-Terrain That Handles Mud Days

Not a dedicated mud tire, and this page will not pretend otherwise — but the Megabite's large open, self-cleaning tread channels and stepped sidewalls make it the best mud-capable all-terrain at its price. If your mud is the occasional flooded trail rather than a dedicated bog, the Megabite gets through it and still behaves on hardpack the rest of the year. Our full take on how it compares as a value pick is in the 32-inch tire guide.

Single: 28x10x14 $194.99 · 30x10x14 $239.95 · 32x10x15 $259.95 · 34x10x15 $274.95 — Tusk Megabite
Set of 4 (tires only): 32x10-15 $915 · 34x10-15 $970

Before You Buy

  • Size for the hole, not the driveway. Dedicated mud tires start making sense at 30 inches and up; below that, a crossover like the XTR370 usually serves better.
  • Big mud tires need gearing help. A 35-inch mud tire on stock gearing runs hot and slow. Portals exist for exactly this — read the portal guide before ordering the biggest size on the page.
  • Air down with a plan. Mud grip improves aired down, and aired-down tires debead. The beadlock guide explains the trade.
