Mud tires for Polaris ranger 900XP

Terminators. Solid tire and they aren’t that loud

Mega Mayhem’s are good tires but for going in duck ponds I’d chose another tire, they dig more than others. As suggested, terminators would be a good choice. I’d stay away from mudlites personally.

If you still have 12 inch wheels, interco tire has super Swampers on their blem list for CHEAP

Terminators are really heavy, one of the heaviest tires available. They will suck some of the HP out of a stock bike. Ride well on hardpack and do very well in the muck. Be prepared to shift to low alot.

Zillas are much lighter, have good manners on hardpack and are great in the muck. My favorite all around tire on my Rhino. They do not rob HP and I don't worry about the axles. I run 28's. They are extremely similar to the mayhems in tread pattern(ITP copied the tread) but the mayhems tread is closer together which ride hardpack better but don't clean as well in the muck. Mayhems have a stronger sidewall thus they are a little heavier and ride a little stiff, IIRC about 5 lbs difference. Either one is a good all around tire for a hunting SXS. I get the Zillas for a really good price through a friend and they are very light, if not for that, toss a coin between the two. I think you will be happy with those tires.

Mudlites are an okay tire. I'm not a fan. The Zillas ride and pull better and are just as light.

Swamplites are a good riding tire on hardpack but have to be spun fast to clean them out. Good for trails and occasional mud hole.

Vampires are on the heavy side but are darn near bulletproof. They can run with no air. Ride on hardpack is rough and they are hard on bearings. They will dig to China until they bite. When you get stuck, you are really stuck.


Outlaws are the ultimate mud/muck/swamp tire. If you just want to put around in nasty muck they are the best option. No need to spin them. A set of 27's and you would use 4wd less than half the time you do now. They just paddle through the swamp. They are tough and the ride on hardpack is extremely rough and hard on bearings. The bike will shake riding on concrete. They were made for mud, period. There is a radial version that rides smooth but doesn't pull nearly as well. I had a set of 30's on a lifted, modded, grizzly when I hunted in the swamp. Hardly ever needed 4wd through the nastiest crap. Amazing mud tire.

Gorillas are almost the same mannered tire as outlaws except they tend to dig more to bite where outlaws seem to ride on top of the mud.

The last time I went to the atv park, BKTs seem to be the tire of choice for a sxs.
