To help make shopping for ATV tires or side-by-side tires easier for its customers Chaparral Motorsports put together a 25" ATV/UTV Tires Shootout pitting 21 of our most popular tires against each other.

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.
