Performance Plus Tire: Premium Side by Side Tires

Side-by-Side (SxS/UTV) tires take a beating—rocks, roots, ruts, dunes, and long stretches of hardpack. We stock purpose-built tread patterns, durable constructions, and the right sizes to match your machine and terrain, so you get the traction, comfort, and reliability your adventures demand.

Tread Types & Best Uses

  • All-Terrain / Trail: Versatile lugs with generous siping for mixed woods, gravel, and hardpack—balanced bite and road manners.
  • Mud: Deep, widely spaced lugs and scooped shoulders that self-clean in clay and bogs.
  • Rock / Crawl: Flexible carcasses, wrap-around side biters, and cut/chip-resistant compounds for grip on ledges and shale.
  • Desert / Hardpack: Continuous center ribs and stable shoulders for straight-line stability and reduced rolling resistance.
  • Sand / Dune: Paddle rears for thrust and ribbed fronts for steering—run low pressures and mind wheel width.
  • Snow / All-Weather: Sipes and winter-biased compounds; select models carry severe-snow (3PMSF) ratings.

Construction Choices

  • Radial vs. Bias-Ply: Radials ride smoother at speed and resist heat; bias-ply can be lighter with tough sidewalls for slow, technical work.
  • Ply / Load Ratings: Common “ply-rated” 6/8/10 PR designs (check load index) for payload, accessories, and passengers.
  • Sidewall & Bead Protection: Rim guards, extra plies, and side biters defend against pinches; choose beadlocks for very low PSI.
  • Weight Matters: Heavier tires add durability but can impact acceleration, clutch temps, and braking—we balance protection and performance.

Sizing & Fitment (We Verify Before Shipping)

  • Diameter & Width: Popular sizes range from 26–35"+; upsizing can require clutch recalibration and fender/liner checks.
  • Wheel Size & Offset: 12/14/15" common; offset affects scrub radius and arm/strut clearance.
  • Bolt Pattern & Hub: We confirm bolt pattern, center bore, and seat type for your make/model before mounting.
  • Spare Strategy: Match diameter and pattern for trouble-free trail swaps; consider a 5-tire rotation.

Pressure & Setup Tips

  • Trail PSI: Often mid-teens (varies by load/speed/tire). Air down further for rocks/sand; reinflate for transport/highway.
  • Beadlocks: Enable lower PSI for traction; torque rings in a crisscross pattern and re-check periodically.
  • Rotation & Alignment: Rotate every 500–1,000 trail miles (or sooner after hard use) and keep toe within spec to prevent cupping.

Packages & Services

  • Mounted/balanced SxS wheel-and-tire packages shipped ready to ride.
  • Beadlock assembly and torque spec guidance; valve-stem and sealant options.
  • Support on sizing, clutching considerations, and trail-specific recommendations.

FAQs: Side-by-Side (SxS/UTV) Tires

Radial or bias-ply—what should I choose?

Radials ride smoother, track better at speed, and manage heat on long runs. Bias-ply can be lighter with stout sidewalls—great for slow technical crawling. Pick based on terrain and pace.

What do 6-/8-/10-ply ratings mean?

They’re ply ratings (not actual plies) that indicate strength and load capability. Use the load index/pressure spec to match your machine’s weight and cargo.

What PSI should I run?

Depends on tire, load, and terrain. Many riders start in the mid-teens on trail, drop lower for rocks/sand (especially with beadlocks), and return to higher PSI for speed and transport.

Do I need beadlock wheels?

If you air down often for rocks or dunes, beadlocks help retain the bead. They add weight and require periodic torque checks—great for aggressive off-road use.

Can I drive SxS tires on pavement?

Yes, but knobby treads wear faster and can be noisy. If you need on-road use, consider DOT-rated patterns and watch heat at sustained speeds.

How big can I go without rubbing?

Clearance varies by model, lift, and offset. We verify diameter/width, bump/lock clearance, and may suggest clutch tuning for larger tires.

Do I need different tires for sand vs. trail?

For dunes, paddle rears and ribbed fronts perform best. For mixed trail use, choose an all-terrain or hybrid tread with good self-cleaning.

How often should I rotate SxS tires?

Every 500–1,000 trail miles (or after major trips). A 5-tire rotation with a matching spare spreads wear evenly.

What’s the benefit of side biters?

Raised sidewall lugs add lateral grip in ruts and protect the sidewall from cuts and pinches on rocks.

Why does tire weight matter on a UTV?

Extra rotating mass affects acceleration, braking, clutch temps, and suspension response. We balance durability with performance for your setup.
