Sedona Mud Rebel RT ATV Quad And UTV Tires - 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 Sedona
Mud Rebel RT
Featuring a distinct arrowhead-like center lug the Mud Rebel was
able to really stick it to the mud and cruise through our makeshift
pit in the third best overall time. The thick lugs on this tire
were also very useful in biting down on the soft pack dirt in the
downhill braking run almost making it the best performing tire in
that test. Unfortunately those tall lugs weren't a very good match
for hard pack, high-speed braking.
