TIRE & WHEEL TECH
New offerings from the top companies
The tire and wheel business is booming, especially in the UTV segment. Not only do we see new sizes and fitments when machines are released, but these companies are chasing racing success as well as coming up with the latest styles to stay ahead of the competition. We asked the top tire/wheel brands to show off their latest products here, so you can see them before your buddy does. Then you can surprise your riding group with fresh new shoes the next time you ride.
