There are several specific kinds of ATV tires, including ATV mud tires, race tires, sand tires, trail tires, and OEM replacement tires.
The features of each type of ATV tire is different, based on the type of terrain or use for the tires.
ATV mud tires are tires that are made especially for muddy terrain. Mud tires have tread designed to clear out quickly when the tire is being used in heavy mud conditions. The treads on ATV mud tires are wide-spaced and irregular for the best grip in muddy conditions. Mud tires are excellent for the mud, but not so good for other trail conditions.
Several ATV tire manufacturers make decent mud tires for all-terrain vehicles. For examples, see the lists below.
ATV race tires and ATV sport tires are made for racing. Some are better for different types of race tracks than others so you have to watch out for those differences. In racing, the type of tire and wheel you choose is more important than ever.
ATV trail tires are usually designed for durability. Cut and impact resistance is important for trail tires and many other kinds of tires. Trail tires often are engineered to handle a variety of terrains, although you can easily find tires made for specific kinds of terrain.
ATV sand tires are more commonly known as paddle tires. These tires are especially made for use in sand, on the beach, etc. If you use these tires, be prepared to trailer the ATV directly to the sand, because riding on this type of ATV tires in other conditions and on other terrains can damage your tires.
OEM tires are original equipment replacement tires. You might find these tires already on new ATVs and buy them when you want to stick to original equipment.
