List of Cheap Mud Tires

Finding good Off Road Tires for your truck or SUV is easy, but finding cheap mud tires that are good is most often a whole different story. That is unless you know where to look. This article has been written to help you and people just like you learn how to buy good, but cheap mud tires. As well as to compare several of the cheaper brands of mud tires so that you will know that you are getting your money’s worth.

 

The first thing that you need to do it to determine the tire size that you will be needing. You can do this by reading the writing that has been embossed onto your existing tires. It will be around the outer edge of your tire. If you want to put a larger size tire on you will need to check the owners manual for your vehicle. Do not put tires on your vehicle that are larger than what the owners manual suggest. It could cause damage to the vehicle or cause you to wreck.

 

Now that the size tire that you need has been determined you will want to start looking at mud tires. A good mud tire will usually cost around 200.00 per tire or more. Some tires and their prices are listed below.

Top Cheap ATV Mud Tires

When choosing an ATV tire price is almost always a consideration especially given the current financial climate. However, saving money doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice quality. Cheap ATV mud tires do exist. In fact, there are several options available.

 

Duro HF243 tire:



One option for cheap ATV mud tires is the Duro HF243 tire. With an MSRP ranging from $80.00 to $120.00, it can easily appear to be a less reasonable “economy” tire. However, these tires are often on sale starting at around $64.00USD or even less. Many online retailers offer this tire in the forty to fifty dollar range depending on the size you need. Speaking of size, it is available in a variety of sizes, including 21x12x8, 22x11x8, 22x11x9, 22x11x10, 23x8x11, 24x9x11, 24x11x10, 25x8x12, 25x10x12, 25x12x9, and 25x12x10.

 

ITP Mudlite AT:



Another option in this price range is the ITP Mudlite AT. It has close to the same MSRP range as the Duro, but differs in that rather than having the 2- or 4-ply rating featured on the Duro, it offers a 6-ply rating. This is a good thing to know when choosing the tire that fits your own personal needs. As previously stated, this tire will run in the same sale bracket as the Duro and will save you a large amount of cash by avoiding that $100.00 mark that is becoming the standard in the industry. The sizes for this tire include 22x8x10, 22x11x8, 22x11x9, 22x11x10, 23x8x10, 23x8x11, 23x10x10, 24x8x11, 24x8x12, 24x9x11, 24x10x11, 24x11x10, 25x8x11, 25x8x12, 25x10x11, 25x10x12, 25x11x10, and 25x12x9.

 

Sedona Mud Rebel:



A third option that you should consider before making a decision regarding cheap ATV mud tires is the Sedona Mud Rebel. Also sporting a 6-ply rating it may or may not have an edge over the ITP based solely on price. While also running in the same bracket as both the Duro and the ITP offerings, it seems to have a larger discount from aftermarket resellers, easily being found in the upper fifties in terms of price (again, depending on the size needed). It is offered in the following sizes: 24x8x12, 25x8x12, 25x10x12, 25x11x10, 26x9x12, 26x10x12, 26x12x12, 27x10x14, and 27x12x14.

 

All three of these tires offer varying warranties as well, allowing you peace of mind when choosing a more frugal mud tire for your next ATV adventure. To investigate the extent of this coverage, always contact a dealer specifically and ask particular questions that you may have. And if that fails, contact the manufacturer directly in order to avoid any misunderstandings. But again, all three of these tires will provide you with hours of enjoyment and off-roading pleasure proving that cheap doesn’t mean “cheap”.
