ITP Mud Lite Tire Review  | Hunt or Shred

The ITP Mud Lite Tires have stolen the show with high-performing all-terrain tires with budget-friendly prices. So what sets these tires apart?

All ITP Mud Lite Tires are made with a six-play rating recommended for ATVs since these rides are meant to haul in the wilderness and tough conditions. The six-ply rating accompanied by attack-dynamic design makes these tires strong enough to conquer several terrains.

The ITP Mud Lite is a tire range that consists of five different tires, each with its own unique quality, yet all tires offer jaw-dropping performances on various terrains. Mud Lite AT, Mud Lite XL, Mud Lite XXL, Mud Lite Sport, and Mud Lite II are the five tire variations this range has to offer. However, these tires are available in various sizes, so make sure you choose the right one for your ATV/UTV.

As an ATV enthusiast, I’ve used multiple tires in this range. As a result, I’ve compiled this ITP Mud Lite Tire Review to tell you all about ITP Mud Lite Tires, including their features, performance reviews, how they differ from each other, and what users have to say about them. It will help you make an informed decision before you buy any tire for your ATV. The specifications and features mentioned in this article are thoroughly researched from authentic sources only.

ITP Mud Lite Tires - What Do They Offer?

The ITP Mud Lite tire range has one of the most versatile tires on the market. While other tires offer better all-terrain performance, they fail to perform exceptionally well on any tougher terrains. These tires are specifically built with a wear-resistant rubber compound with a six-ply rating that extends the tire’s life despite successfully conquering tough and uneven mud terrains.

All of the ITP Mud Lite tires come in a dynamic tread pattern. The dynamic tread pattern is a V-shaped pattern having all the lugs meeting in the center and pointing towards the same direction. This display allows the tire to scoop out whatever hurdles it steps on - whether it is mud, water, snow, or rocks. The V-shaped pattern allows the tire to attack the ground, and whatever hurdle comes in the way is forced to flow out through the directional channels between the lugs. Such attack dynamics make the ITP tires have increased ground contact, resulting in better handling than most tires.

All tires in the ITP Mud Lite tire range are bias-ply except the Mud Lite XTR. The said variant has a radial tread pattern better for harder patches and offers higher speed and comfort. But more on that later. Most of these tires have a bias-six-ply rating, so you can deflate them to keep your ATV from sinking. This is a big aid when riding on softer terrains, especially for sporting activities.

Traction is a highly focused feature to get these tires to perform well in damp and slippery conditions. All tires are equipped with sufficient lug heights to keep them moving forward. While the lug height varies with each tire and its size, the range boasts a minimum lug height of 3/4-inch and a maximum of 1.3 inches.

The lug height is the key to gaining traction over surfaces. Since ATVs are widely used for sporting activities, mud trailing, farming, and hunting, they require extra lug heights that claw the ATVs way through the mud and paddle them forward no matter how deep or wet the surface is. Therefore, being specially made for muddy terrains, these tires have higher lugs to excel without any difficulty. However, rarely does any tire in this range have lugs high enough to perform well in deep mud. For this reason, these tires are not recommended for plow farming.

Nevertheless, the Mud Lite tires are one of the people's favorites for moderate abuse and durable tires. Many users have regarded these tires as the best option for those with high off-roading experiences and some on paved roads. Yes, despite being specialized for muddy and rocky terrains, these tires perform well on paved roads and snow-covered paths. Most mud-terrain tires perform poorly on roads due to their large lugs, resulting in bumpy rides and decreased speed. However, the ITP Mud Lite tires offer a true one-of-a-kind experience in its weaker areas.

The best part about these tires is that they offer supreme value in a budget-friendly price range. The price range extends from $90 to $280 for these tires.

Now, let's look at the specifications of each tire separately. The specifications include their available sizes, ply-rating, dimensions, load capacity, tread depth, and weight.
