Looking for recommendations for more of a street friendly tire for both on, and off-road, riding.  Currently on the OEM soft tires that come on the 2023 Trail.

Suggestions?  Do not want to change wheels.

So many out there now to choose from. Basiclly anything with a full bar and long bar chevron like BHs or mudlites is out...any for use in loose materials and mud with large and tall bar-type treads. Anything with a block pattern like Sedona Ripsaws or Rock-a-billys is what you want. Many make something like that. Look at one size up and the same widths and in an 8-ply radial...although the radial isn't all that necessary they are just a little better on soft stuff and nicer on the road.

Thanks!  Just curious as to the recommendation to go one size up.  From 26 to 27.

Your choice but one size gives a bit more clearance and off-camber control and clutch re-tune is optional.. not mandatory.

The BF Goodrich Mud Terrain UTV is a fairly popular option. I wanted to buy Braven Ironside tires for my Zforce, but they were not available last fall when I was ready to buy, the manufacturer had no idea when shipment would arrive from China. I also seriously considered the QuadBoss QBT846. I ended up with Tusk Terrabites, which from what I can tell is by far the most popular utv tire, likely 'cuz it is the lowest price, in addition to being tuff.

The issue I have with the Terrabites is they flat spot even after just sitting for about 30 minutes, it's almost like driving a trampoline until they heat up. Even so, the tires still felt slightly out of round. No tire shops around here would balance them, claimed utv tires don't need to be balanced. Total B.S.! A friend suggested tire balancing beads, which I bought. The balancing beads made a HUGE difference. After tires heat up, the ride is really smooth in my 2022 Zforce 800 even at 50mph+ on pavement.

I cannot say how long Terrabites will last driving mostly on pavement, as they are a fairly soft compound rubber. They are designed primarily for offroad use as are all utv tires. I've read reviews that peeps are getting over 3,000 miles, even over 5,000 miles on the Terrabites, mostly offroad, no flats. I carry a GlueTread brand tire plug / sidewall repair kit and tire inflator just in case.

I bought them as a package deal, the ad reads like this - Tusk Terrabite Set Of 4 UTV ATV Tires (27x9-14 / 27x11-14)
