Maxxis Mud Bug ATV Tires - Conclusion

Almost 75% of owners said they would recommend these tires to fellow riders. That's not the highest rating we've seen but it's still solid.

Comparatively lighter weight and less rolling resistance due to the radial construction make these tires attractive for less powerful ATVs that still want to play in the mud.

The 14 inchers would be a good choice for an all around UTV tire. We think the Mud Bugs are a good choice for an all-terrain tire with the accent on mud performance. If that's what you're looking for - add these ATV tires to your list.
