ITP Mud Lite XTR ATV Quad And UTV Tires In The Chap Moto 25 Inch Tire Shootout

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 ITP Mud Lite XTR ATV Quad and UTV Tires:



The Mud Lite XTR is better than average, it came in the top ten in three out of the five tests and the two tests that it was out side the top ten it only missed the mark by  a couple spots. It has a rather intimidating treat pattern with some thick, deep lugs and its that unique tread that allows it to push, pull, bite, and chug its way through a variety of terrain and challenges.
