What Is the Lightest ATV Mud Tire?

When choosing an ATV mud tire, finding the optimal balance between weight and performance is key. Mud tires have aggressive thread patterns with large lugs, so the tire will paddle through the mud. In general, more aggressive tires are heavier.

Here are the lightest ATV mud tires divided into three levels of thread pattern aggressiveness.

Least Aggressive Mud TTires

  • Maxxis Zilla (30×11-14 weighs 30.8 lb)

Medium Aggressive Mud Tires

  • Interco Swamp Lite (28×11-14 weighs 35.0 lb)
  • ITP Monster Mayhem (30×10-14 weighs 40.0 lb)

Most Aggressive Mud Tires

  • Maxxis Mudzilla ( 30X11-14 weighs 44.0 lb)
  • CST Sludge Hammer ( 30×10-14 weighs 42.7 lb)
  • Interco InterForce II ( 32×6.5-14 weighs 48.9 lb)

Why Is the Weight of an ATV Mud Tire Important?

But why does the weight of an ATV mud tire matter after all? Well, here are a few good reasons.

Heavy Tires Rob a Lot of Power

Heavier tires reduce acceleration and speed by robbing engine power. Faster acceleration and more paddling-action is the most significant benefit of getting lighter mud tires.

Heavy Tires Cause More Strain on the Drivetrain

Accelerating and stopping a heavier tire cause more strain and wear on the ATV’s brakes and drivetrains, such as the axles, CV joints, and drive belt. It increases the risk of failing components when out riding.

Belt slippage is not uncommon when installing heavier tires without also upgrading the clutches.

How to Modify an ATV to Take Bigger and Heavier Tires?

Upgrade drivetrain components such as the axles to heavy-duty aftermarket options to make the ATV better capable of handling heavy mud tires.

Clutch kits are available for most ATVs and will make the machine better set up for larger and heavier mud tires.

Are the Manufacturer’s Weight Ratings Always Accurate?

Most ATV tire manufacturers list the weight of each type and each size of the tire they make. But how accurate are the numbers that are listed?

I scavenged a bunch of ATV forums as well as weighed some of my own tires. From what I found, you may expect the manufacturer’s tire weight rating to be relatively accurate, but a deviation of 1-3 pounds from the rated weight seems to be within what you can expect.

The listed rating can be a bit off in the first place, or the manufacturer may have changed the manufacturing process of a specific tire that, changes the tire weight. It is not uncommon that changes are made without updating their website. Resellers are even less likely to catch on to minor updates that can affect tire weight.

ATV Mud Tire Weight FAQ

How much does an ATV mud tire typically weigh?

The average weight of an ATV mud tire can range between 25 to 40 lbs, but it largely depends on the tire size and brand.

Does the weight of ATV mud tires affect performance?

Yes, heavier tires can add strain to your ATV’s drivetrain but may provide better traction and durability in muddy conditions.

How does the weight of a mud tire compare to a standard ATV tire?

Mud tires tend to be heavier than standard ATV tires due to their aggressive tread patterns and extra material for puncture resistance.

Can I use a lighter mud tire for less intense off-roading?

Yes, lighter mud tires can be a good choice for less challenging terrains, offering a balance between maneuverability and mud performance.

Our comprehensive comparison of ATV mud tire weights aims to simplify your selection process. Remember that the optimal balance between weight and performance is key in selecting the best tire. I hope this overview can assist you in choosing the right tire that suits your needs and helps enhance your off-roading experiences.
