Not everyone is looking for the same thing when it comes to shopping for ATV or UTV tires. Some people may want the best overall tires that can do it all. Other people may want a tire that is really good at specific tasks. For example one person may want tires that can charge through extreme mud while someone else may need tires that can bite hard and stop fast. At Chaparral Motorsports we have hundreds of SXS and ATV tires from different manufacturers as well in a variety of models and sizes. The reason why we have so many tires is to meet the needs and demands of all our customers.

To help make shopping for ATV or side-by-side tires easier for our customers we put together a 25" ATV/UTV Tires Shootout. The Shootout consisted of 21 of our most popular tires. We came up with five different challenges to demonstrate how each tire performs in certain terrain and performing specific tasks. The results from this shootout will help you make an informed decision on your next tire purchase.

While we've covered The Best Tires for Specific Tasks, Top 8 Best Overall Performing Tires, as well as given an explainer on the 5 different challenges, in this article we are going to show you how one specific tire did in each test.

Obviously they all can't be winners but of the 21 tires and five different challenges, each tire did have its moment of shine. And this can be really important when tire shopping, because as stated not everyone wants or needs the best overall tire, some people just want the tire that's best for them.

So without further ado, here is the breakdown on the

Quadboss QBT446

If you're middle of the road type of person, the Quadboss QBT446 might be the ATV or side-by-side tire for you. With the ability to do a little bit of everything fairly well, the 446 isn't the best but is a good all around tire. It was in the top ten of almost every test except for the mud traction where if came in 11th place. With their 8 ply rating you know you'll be getting a durable tire that can withstand some serious abuse.
