Maxxis ATV Tires are legendary for their performance throughout the entire Motorsports community and I wanted an aggressive mud terrain ATV tire. I use my ATV for agricultural type applications as well as trail riding and the aggressive mud tread generates excellent pulling traction. The Maxxis Mud Bug ATV Tire offers both the renowned performance of Maxxis and the mud tire traction but isn’t as extreme as others on the market.
Where Did I Get Them?
I contacted Mike at Dicks ATV to make the deal. Mike hooked me up with a stellar price so it was set, I placed my order for the Mud Bugs and they were setting on my deck in three days. My hat is off to Dicks ATV. They provided down to Earth customer service, product expertise, and VERY competitive pricing. Upon arrival the Mud Bugs were just as promised, brand new, without blemish, and were well packaged in two large boxes delivered by UPS.

I chose to go with a 26/12/12 in the rear with 26/10/12 in the front. The Maxxis Mud Bug 26 inch tires weigh in at a hefty 28.4lbs and measured true to size at 26 inches on both the front and rear tires. The tread measured in at nearly 1 ¼” and seemed very aggressive.
Ride Quality
My first ride with the Mud Bugs was very impressive. To be such a heavy and aggressive tire, they ride unbelievably smooth at any speed above 5-6mph. They do get rough at speeds below that and are also harder to turn at most speeds, but that is to be expected with a mud tire of this caliber. How do they dig? Like a backhoe! They just keep asking for more! The Mud Bugs are a very stable tire and add a level of confidence when tackling a hill climb or mud hole and there were many occasions when I was the only quad still running in two wheel drive. I honestly can’t say enough good things about the level of traction these tires provide.

All in all I would, and already have, recommended these tires. I have made a few believers out of my riding crew and a few other innocent bystanders. Because these tires have pulled me out, up, and through technical and nasty terrain with plenty left over, I give these tires my stamp of approval.
Pros
Excellent Tread Depth/Design
Excellent Traction
Puncture Resistant
Cons
Weight
Throw Rocks
