ATV & UTV Sand Tires

Tear up the dunes with our selection of ATV and UTV sand tires from Cycle Gear. You aren't going anywhere on sand with a normal off-road tire setup. Instead, you'll need dedicated UTV or ATV paddle tires to keep up momentum in this tricky terrain. Shop a full selection of the meanest sand tires from top manufacturers proven to perform on the dunes. Bear in mind, these tires are a little different from other specialized off-road tires as you'll need to select different tread patterns for the front and back. Let's break down each separately.

The back tire is the most important choice you'll have to make when selecting ATV and UTV paddle tires, so let's start there. Back tires often get the "paddle" designation because they feature large, well-spaced treads that grab sand to create traction in this loose terrain. A straight or flat paddle tire is the most popular variant, and while it provides the best power in sand, it does suffer from a wider turning radius. You can take tighter turns with V-paddle tires, but you won't get quite the same “push” or power as a straight paddle. If you're running a lighter machine in sand, then you'll want to check out an off-set paddle tire for the best performance.

You also have a choice on UTV and ATV front sand tires. If you want to save a little money, you can simply re-purpose your all-terrain tires as front sand tires. However, an all-terrain tire is hardly designed for sand, so for better traction and turning, ribbed front tires are the way to go. Just note that a ribbed tire will slow you down a bit in thick sand. Smooth sand tires offer a faster alternative, but they are harder to turn since they lack any treads to bite into the sand. To combat this drawback, some companies now design smooth tires with ribbed edges to improve turning.
