Only a few years ago, a 32-inch UTV tire might be found on elevated vehicles deep in the marshes of Louisiana or East Texas.
While giant mud machines still rule the swamps, big-bore UTVs have gained in popularity, as have their tires. In just a few short years, the 32-inch tire has become the desert’s undisputed king—and for good reason. The new big-bore machines have more pulling power and better ground clearance than ever before. Another benefit that goes unmentioned is the increased comfort that comes with increased rollout as the larger tire covers tougher terrain.
Ready 32-inch tire alternatives. Here are 12 desert-driven 32-inch tire options for your big-bore UTV.
