Maxxis Zilla MU01. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Mud Terrain Traction; All Season Performance; Upgraded Durability; . OVERVIEW: The Maxxis Zilla MU01 is a mud terrain, all season tire created for ATVs and UTVs. This model is specially designed for the vehicle's rear axle.The model promotes a tough internal structure that boosts its load carrying capacity. The strong construction supports the tire on the road when it has to endure large load and driving pressure. This allows it to take some hard hits in off-road conditions without suffering any deformations. The tire can endure large pressure over longer periods of time, without losing its optimal shape. This way, its performance during heavy-duty applications is greatly enhanced.The claw-shaped tread lugs form a directional pattern that maintains consistent contact with the terrain surface. The void ratio and the tread depth are both optimized to boost the tire's stability and controllability. The tread is constantly in close contact with the road surface, while holding a strong grip on the track. This also enhances its steering responsiveness, allowing the driver to count on quick and precise responses while commanding the vehicle.The tire boosts the mud terrain performance with its carefully arranged tread elements. The staggered lugs form an aggressive footprint that is ideal for difficult uneven, loose, and soft terrains. The high void ratio and the angled tread elements enhance the tire's self-cleaning ability. The claw-shaped lugs channel water, mud, snow, and rocks away from the footprint. This way, road contact is never blocked and the Zilla MU01 can maintain a strong grip. This specific tire model features a BIASED ply construction. When it comes to ATV tires, there might be slight visual differences between brands and models even if the tires are of the same size. NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE: This tire model is not DOT-approved for highway use. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
