A loaded Ranger XP 1000 crawling a rutted food plot in October, a 570 hauling fence posts across a wet spring pasture, a 1000 aired down for a weekend of gravel and two-track. The tire is the only part of your Ranger that ever touches the ground, and it decides whether the day goes smooth or sideways. This page carries 163 full-size Ranger tires across 17 brands, from 6-ply trail radials to 10-ply mud tires with 3/4-inch lugs, in 12, 14 and 15-inch fitments. That is the deepest Polaris Ranger tire catalog online, before you count every size and load option under each model.
Full-size Rangers run a common 4/156 bolt pattern and mostly leave the factory on 12 or 14-inch wheels, so most owners shop tire height and terrain more than fitment. The XP 1000 and the Northstar cabs clear taller 27 to 30-inch tires with room to spare, while a stock 570 or base 1000 usually wants a lift or wheel spacers before you jump past 29 inches. Maxxis, QuadBoss and Moose anchor the lineup here. We are the fitment experts. Text us at 644-5280, call (920) 214-8135 or hit the live chat on any page, and we will match a tire to your machine, your wheels and your riding before you spend a dollar.
Tires come down to two decisions: what terrain you run most, and what size your machine can clear. Start with terrain, because it sets the tread and the build you need.
| Tire type | Build (ply / tread) | Best for | What you give up |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-terrain | 6 to 8-ply, radial or bias, 26 to 30 in | Mixed farm, gravel, trail and daily driving | Ultimate bite in deep mud |
| Mud | 8 to 10-ply, deep 3/4-in and up lugs | Wet clay, swamp, food plots, deep ruts | Road manners, tread noise, faster wear on hardpack |
| Sand / paddle | Paddle tread, lighter 2 to 6-ply | Dunes and loose sand only | Traction anywhere off the sand |
| Street / turf | Smooth or turf tread, DOT options | Pavement, lawns, mixed road-and-property use | Aggressive off-road grip |
Ply rating is the load-and-puncture story. A 6-ply Maxxis Zilla rides lighter and softer for trail work, while an 8-ply steel-belted radial like the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain KM3 or a 10-ply GBC Kanati Mongrel shrugs off rock and stump damage under a loaded bed. Construction matters just as much. Radial tires like the Tusk Terrabite and the QuadBoss QBT846 flex for a smoother ride and more even tread wear, while a bias tire like the Sedona Coyote stiffens the sidewall for less flex under heavy loads and costs less doing it. Tread depth decides mud life, and the numbers are on the listings: the Zilla runs a deep 38/32 bite, the Terrabite a full 3/4-inch lug. One last tell separates the shelf-fillers from the real thing. If any of your miles touch pavement, look for a DOT-compliant tire like the QBT846, which is built and rated to run the road legally in most states.
The budget-friendly entry point runs from about $84 for a Moose Turf Trac up into the low $100s for a set of Sedona Coyote 6-ply bias tires. Honest trail-and-daily rubber that gets a working Ranger down the road without a big spend. Most full-size owners land in the $150 to $250 sweet spot, where the money actually sits on this page: the Maxxis Zilla from $152.50, the Tusk Terrabite radial from $167.19, the QuadBoss QBT846 at $221.08. These are high-quality 6 and 8-ply tires with most of the bite, wear and puncture resistance built in. The premium end climbs past $300 a tire, with the BFGoodrich KM3 steel-belted radial to $366.92 and the Maxxis Roxxzilla and Liberty radials to $412.50, where race-bred compounds and steel belts earn their keep in deep mud, sharp rock and hard miles.
Here is how the ranges break down by tire type, priced per tire unless noted, with popular sets as examples.
| Tire type | Typical price | Popular Ranger examples |
|---|---|---|
| Poalis Ranger Street / turf | $84 to $221 per tire | Moose Turf Trac ($83.95–$105.95), QuadBoss QBT846 DOT radial ($221.08) |
| Polaris Ranger All-terrain | $110 to $370 per tire | Sedona Coyote ($135.95–$230.95), Tusk Terrabite radial ($167.19–$308.74), GBC Kanati Mongrel 10-ply ($280.95–$370.18) |
| Polaris Ranger Mud | $104 to $412 per tire | Maxxis Mud Bug ($125.00–$171.00), Maxxis Zilla ($152.50–$259.45), BFGoodrich KM3 ($228.01–$366.92) |
| Polaris Ranger Sand / paddle | $1,740 to $1,860 per set | SandCraft Digger & Mohawk front-and-rear set ($1,740.00–$1,860.00) |
Two notes on the extremes. Oversize builds run higher than the bands above, so a tall 22 to 24-inch mud tire like the EFX MotoHavok reaches $634 a tire. And sand is priced differently on purpose: paddle tires are sold as complete front-and-rear sets, not singles, which is why a sand build starts near $1,740.
One thing worth knowing before you size up. The most common tire return we see is a 30-inch or taller tire bought for a stock full-size Ranger with no lift or spacers. It clears fine in the driveway, then rubs on the first hard turn or full suspension bump. If you are going big, plan the full-size wheels and the lift at the same time, and we will help you spec the set. The most common warranty is between 3 to 6 months, but Everything Polaris Ranger does offer extended 1 and 2-year warranties on all products if that is something you are interested in. You can add the extended warranty right at checkout, and every tire on this page is backed by our price-match guarantee.
Maxxis owns more of this page's best-seller list than any other name, with a range that runs from 6-ply trail radials to 8-ply race compounds. Bighorn, Zilla, Carnivore and Roxxzilla, in tread depths to 38/32.
QuadBoss carries the deepest tire catalog on the page at 24 fitments, built around DOT-compliant 8-ply radials with built-in rim guards and 3/4-inch tread. The QBT846, QBT447 and QBT446 are value work-and-street rubber.
Moose Utility Division brings 19 workhorse Polaris Ranger fitments made for farm and trail, from the smooth-rolling Turf Trac to the aggressive Insurgent and 8 Ball.
Tusk Terrabite Radial Tire ($167.19–$308.74). 8-ply radial in 12 through 16-inch fitments with a 3/4-inch medium-hard tread. The do-everything pick for the owner who farms, hauls and trail-rides on one machine.
Sedona Coyote Tire ($135.95–$230.95). 6-ply bias carcass at just 21.4 pounds. The value daily-driver for mud and dry trail without the premium price.
GBC Kanati Mongrel 10-Ply Tire ($280.95–$370.18). 10-ply radial with a self-cleaning all-terrain tread and an 87 mph rating. Built for loaded beds and long work days.
Maxxis Zilla Tire ($152.50–$259.45). 6-ply with a deep 38/32 tread rated for intermediate, mud and soft terrain. The trail-and-mud crossover most owners start with.
QuadBoss QBT846 Radial Utility Tire ($221.08). DOT-compliant 8-ply radial in 28x10-14 with a built-in rim guard. The pick when your miles mix dirt and pavement.
BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain KM3 Radial ($228.01–$366.92). 8-ply steel-belted radial with Terrain-Attack tread and a 99 mph Q rating. Premium mud and rock rubber for owners who punish their machine.
What size tires fit a full-size Polaris Ranger? Full-size Rangers use a 4/156 bolt pattern and ship on 12 or 14-inch wheels, with 15-inch a common upgrade. A stock machine clears roughly 27 to 29-inch tires. Past that you usually need a lift, wheel spacers or both to stop rubbing, so measure your setup or send us your model, year and wheel size and we will confirm the fit.
What is the best tire for a Polaris Ranger? It depends on where you run, so here is the honest three-way answer. The best-selling all-around tire is the Tusk Terrabite radial, an 8-ply that does farm, gravel and trail without a weak spot. For deep mud or heavy loads, the premium pick is the BFGoodrich KM3 steel-belted radial or the 10-ply Kanati Mongrel. For the best value, the Sedona Coyote covers daily driving and light mud at the lowest price of the group.
Should I run a radial or a bias tire? Radial tires flex for a smoother ride, run cooler at speed and wear more evenly, which is why most of our top sellers, from the Terrabite to the QBT846, are radials. Bias tires stiffen the sidewall for less flex under a heavy load and cost less, which makes a bias tire like the Coyote a smart work-and-budget choice. Match the build to the job, not the badge.
Are these tires street legal? Some are and some are not, so check the listing before you buy. DOT-compliant tires like the QuadBoss QBT846 are built and rated for road use, though street-legal rules for a UTV still vary by state and county. If road miles matter to you, tell us and we will point you to the DOT options.
Do I need a lift for bigger tires? Usually, yes, once you pass about 29 inches on a full-size Ranger. Stock suspension and fenders clear 27 to 29-inch tires on most models, but a 30-inch or taller tire generally needs a lift kit, wheel spacers or both to turn and flex without rubbing. Plan the tires, wheels and lift together and you will only do the job once.
