ITP is two catalogs in one, and the buying logic is different for each half. This guide covers the warranty terms that actually apply, the tire lineup by terrain, how to size a wheel without a return, and the ownership and manufacturing facts behind the brand.
ITP publishes two separate warranties, and the difference between them is large enough to change which product you pick. Here are the real terms.
| What | Coverage |
|---|---|
| Aluminum wheels | Limited lifetime against defects in materials and workmanship |
| Steel wheels | Not covered. Excluded from the lifetime warranty entirely |
| Chrome-plated aluminum, coating | 90 days on the coating itself |
| Painted or powder-coated aluminum, coating | 1 year on the coating itself |
| Wheels made before January 1, 2007 | Not covered |
| Replacement limit | Up to four wheels per vehicle |
Read that steel-wheel line twice. ITP Delta steel wheels are among the most affordable wheels we sell, and they are genuinely good value. They are also outside the lifetime warranty. If long-term coverage is part of why you are choosing ITP, you want an aluminum wheel.
And read the coating line. The lifetime term covers the wheel. The finish is a separate, much shorter clock: 90 days on chrome, one year on paint or powder coat. A chrome wheel that corrodes in year two is not a warranty claim.
Beadlock owners: stripped bolts and bolt holes caused by over-tightening are explicitly excluded. Torque to spec with a torque wrench, not by feel.
Also excluded across all wheels: damage from lug nuts backing off due to improper torque, mounting and balancing charges, cosmetic irregularities, repaired wheels, modifications like drilling or machining, and using an ATV-fitment wheel in an application it was not built for, such as a trailer.
Coverage runs two years from date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship, to the original purchaser, with proof of purchase. That is a longer term than most powersports tire warranties.
What is not covered:
Coverage is void if the tire is worn past the last 3/32 inch of tread depth at any point, or if it failed from improper inflation, overloading past the sidewall rating, or exceeding the maximum speed rating.
The two exclusions that catch people. First, sealant voids the tire warranty. Slime and similar products are extremely common in the UTV world, and adding one ends your coverage. Second, racing and competition use is excluded, which is worth knowing given ITP builds tires marketed for racing.
Claims run through a participating ITP dealer or the Titan Specialty Division at 1-800-260-7959, and must be made within 30 days of discovering the problem. Titan reserves the right to inspect before adjusting.
From the shop: the most common ITP warranty conversation we have starts with sealant. A rider gets a slow leak, throws in a bottle of sealant, then finds a defect three months later and discovers the coverage is gone. If a tire is behaving oddly inside the two-year window, call us before you add anything to it.
This one deserves a straight answer because the published information conflicts, and getting it wrong costs you a registration.
ITP's own website currently carries a blanket statement that their tires are not DOT rated. It appears in the footer of every page on itptires.com, including individual product pages.
Some third-party retailers and older magazine reviews describe specific ITP models, the Terra Hook among them, as DOT-rated radials. Those descriptions may reflect an earlier production spec, a particular size, or simply a retailer repeating outdated copy.
We are not going to guess on your behalf. If DOT rating matters for your build, call us before you order and we will confirm the current marking on the exact size you want, straight from the sidewall spec. If your state requires DOT-rated tires to register a UTV for road use, that is not a detail to take from a product description, ours or anyone else's.
For pure off-road riding, none of this changes anything. DOT marking has no bearing on how a tire performs on a trail.
ITP organizes their tires into seven terrain categories. Here is the range we stock, sorted by what the tire is actually for.
| Tire | What it is |
|---|---|
| Mud Lite | The classic. One of the most recognized mud tires in powersports |
| Mud Lite II | Updated Mud Lite tread |
| Mud Lite XTR | The radial, more aggressive Mud Lite |
| Cryptid | Big-bite deep mud |
| Coyote | Aggressive mud and rough terrain |
| Blackwater Evolution | 8-ply, Tough Tread compound, non-directional tread with sidewall armor. The all-around pick |
| Tire | What it is |
|---|---|
| Terra Hook | 8-ply radial, 3/4" lug depth, multi-angled channeled lugs. 13 sizes, 26" to 35" |
| Terra Claw | All-terrain |
| Terra Cross R/T | Radial all-terrain, road and trail crossover |
| Trail Tamer HD | Heavy-duty trail |
| Duracity | Utility and work-oriented |
| Versa Cross | Multi-terrain radial |
The Terra Hook is the ITP tire we get the most sizing questions about, and ITP publishes a full per-size chart. Every size is 8-ply with 23/32-inch tread depth and a 3/4-inch lug depth.
| Size | SKU | Mounted diameter | Mounted width | Rated load | Max PSI | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 26x9.00R12 | 6P0939 | 25.8" | 9.9" | 830 lb | 18 | 29.9 lb |
| 26x11.00R12 | 6P0940 | 26.5" | 11.2" | 985 lb | 18 | 32.4 lb |
| 27x9.00R14 | 6P0941 | 27.3" | 9.0" | 850 lb | 18 | 32.8 lb |
| 27x11.00R14 | 6P0942 | 27.5" | 11.0" | 1,030 lb | 18 | 35.2 lb |
| 28x9.00R14 | 6P0943 | 28.2" | 9.2" | 910 lb | 18 | 33.5 lb |
| 28x11.00R14 | 6P0944 | 28.5" | 11.2" | 1,085 lb | 18 | 36.0 lb |
| 29x9.00R14 | 6P2309 | 28.7" | 9.1" | 1,360 lb | 32 | 32.1 lb |
| 29x11.00R14 | 6P2310 | 29.0" | 10.5" | 1,650 lb | 34 | 35.6 lb |
| 30x10.00R14 | 6P0945 | 30.3" | 10.2" | 1,130 lb | 18 | 35.5 lb |
| 30x10.00R15 | 6P1436 | 30.5" | 9.9" | 1,105 lb | 18 | 37.9 lb |
| 32x10.00R14 | 6P0946 | 32.5" | 10.8" | 1,280 lb | 18 | 38.6 lb |
| 32x10.00-15 | 6P0947 | 32.5" | 10.7" | 1,255 lb | 18 | 38.1 lb |
| 35x10.00R15 | 6P1985 | 35.2" | 11.0" | 1,505 lb | 18 | 53.7 lb |
Two things this chart tells you that a product title cannot. The 29-inch sizes are the outliers: they carry far more load (1,360 and 1,650 lb against roughly 1,000 for their neighbours) and they run a much higher max pressure, 32 and 34 PSI versus 18 everywhere else. If you are loading or towing, the 29s are the strongest tire in the range. And weight climbs steeply at the top: the 35x10.00R15 is 53.7 lb against 38.6 lb for the 32x10.00R14, a 15-pound-per-corner jump that your clutch and belt will feel.
Shop the Terra Hook once you have your size, or send us your machine and we will match it.
| Tire | What it is |
|---|---|
| Tenacity | Rock and technical terrain |
| Mayhem | Aggressive all-terrain |
| Holeshot | Racing |
| Sand Star | Sand and dunes, paddle-style |
Our best-selling ITP tire is the Blackwater Evolution, which is a fair default if you are not sure: 8-ply construction, ITP's Tough Tread compound, a non-directional tread that stays smooth on hardpack, and sidewall armor protecting the shoulder. ITP also publishes snow and desert categories. If you want something not showing on the grid, call us.
Roughly half of what ITP makes is wheels, and this is where most avoidable returns happen.
| Aluminum | Steel | |
|---|---|---|
| Warranty | Limited lifetime | Not covered |
| Weight | Lighter, less rotating mass | Heavier |
| Price | Higher | Lowest in the catalog |
| Damage behavior | Cracks or chips under hard impact | Bends, and can often be bent back |
| Best for | Most riders, and anyone who cares about coverage | Work machines, plow rigs, budget builds, spares |
Steel is not the wrong answer. An ITP Delta steel wheel on a plow machine that lives in a gravel yard is a smart buy. Just know you are trading the lifetime warranty for the lower price.
| Wheel | Type |
|---|---|
| Hurricane | Aluminum alloy, one of ITP's most popular |
| Cyclone | Aluminum alloy |
| Tornado | Aluminum alloy |
| Twister | Aluminum alloy |
| Inertia | Aluminum alloy |
| SS112, SS212, SS312 | SS Alloy sport wheel series |
| Delta Steel | Steel, model-specific fitments |
| SD10 Beadlock | Beadlock rim for low-pressure and competition use |
Bolt pattern. Four-lug patterns like 4x136 and 4x156 are not interchangeable. This is the single most common wheel-fitment error.
Offset and backspacing. Offset changes where the wheel sits relative to the hub, which changes track width. More offset pushes the wheel outward, widening stance and adding leverage on your bearings and CVs. Less offset tucks it in and can cause rubbing at full lock.
Load rating. Wheels carry a maximum load capacity, and exceeding it voids the warranty. This matters most on utility machines that haul and tow.
Torque, and then torque again. ITP explicitly excludes damage caused by lug nuts loosening from improper torque. Torque to your owner's manual spec and re-check after the first ride.
Beadlock specifics. Beadlocks clamp the tire bead mechanically, which lets you run very low pressure without rolling a bead off the rim. That is why rock crawlers use them. They also have a ring of bolts that must be torqued evenly to spec, and over-torquing strips the holes and voids the warranty. The ITP SD10 beadlock is the one we sell most: a 1,300 lb load rating, ITP's Rock Armor inner lip to protect the tire, thicker lock ring and counter-bored bolts for retention, and OE-matching offset so it keeps your factory track width. Built for the Polaris Pro R, Turbo R and XPEDITION and the Can-Am Maverick R, and it ships with valve stem and center cap.
Wheels, roughly $60 to $310. Delta steel wheels start around $62.95, which is the lowest entry point in the catalog. SS Alloy sport wheels run roughly $116 to $225. The premium alloys (Hurricane, Cyclone, Tornado, Twister and Inertia) sit between $152 and $296. SD10 beadlocks are around $306.99. Remember that a set is four.
Tires, roughly $77 to $370. Holeshot starts around $77.95 in smaller sizes. The middle of the range holds Mud Lite, Mud Lite II, Terra Cross R/T, Mayhem, Duracity and Sand Star, roughly $95 to $280. At the top: Tenacity at $310.95 to $366.95, Cryptid at $250.95 to $370.95 and Coyote at $240.95 to $349.95.
Free shipping applies on orders over $250, which a set of four clears in nearly every case. Affirm financing is available at checkout. Our Best Price Guarantee means if you find the same product cheaper, we will match it.
ITP has built aftermarket ATV and UTV tires and wheels since 1982 and describes itself as the world's number one manufacturer of aftermarket powersports tires and wheels. Four decades in one category is unusual in this industry, and it is why ITP model names like Mud Lite are recognized by riders who could not name the company that makes them.
Who owns ITP today. ITP is part of The Carlstar Group, which was acquired by Titan International, Inc. (NYSE: TWI) on February 29, 2024, for approximately $296 million in cash and stock. Titan is a global manufacturer of off-highway wheels, tires, assemblies and undercarriage products. Carlstar generated roughly $615 million in revenue in 2023 and brought four manufacturing facilities and twelve North American and European distribution centers into Titan.
What that means for you. Warranty administration now runs through the Titan Specialty Division rather than through Carlstar, which is why the warranty documents carry Titan branding and a Titan phone number. A lifetime wheel warranty backed by a publicly traded manufacturer is a stronger promise than one backed by a private company, and the distribution footprint is part of why ITP availability is consistent.
ITP publishes a full tire and wheel catalog and a tire fitment guide on their own site, along with both warranty documents.
Polaris: Ranger Mid-Size, Ranger Full-Size, Ranger Crew, Ranger Pro XD, RZR two-seat and four-seat, RZR RS1, RZR 170, General, XPEDITION, XPEDITION 5, ACE
Can-Am: Defender, Commander, Maverick, Maverick R
Honda: Pioneer 500, Pioneer 700, Pioneer 1000, Talon
Kawasaki: Teryx, Teryx KRX 1000, Teryx H2, Ridge, Mule
Yamaha: Viking, Wolverine, YXZ
CFMOTO: UForce, UForce U10 Pro, ZForce
Kubota: RTV, RTV-X Series, Sidekick
John Deere: XUV, HPX and RSX work series
Arctic Cat: Prowler, Wildcat
Several ITP wheels are sold in model-specific fitments. Pioneer, Mule, Teryx, Ranger and RZR versions of the same wheel family are different parts. Use the fitment selector above the grid, then call us to confirm before you order.
Do ITP wheels have a lifetime warranty? Aluminum ITP wheels carry a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Steel wheels are excluded. The finish is covered separately and for much less time: 90 days on chrome-plated aluminum and one year on painted or powder-coated aluminum. Replacement is capped at four wheels per vehicle, and wheels made before January 1, 2007 are not covered.
How long is the ITP tire warranty? Two years from date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship, to the original purchaser with proof of purchase. That is longer than most powersports tire warranties.
Does tire sealant void the ITP warranty? Yes. Tires with sealant or liquid balancer added are excluded from coverage, as are patched, plugged or repaired tires. If a tire is behaving oddly inside the warranty window, call us before adding anything to it.
Are ITP tires DOT approved? No. ITP states that its tires are not DOT rated. For most off-road riding that changes nothing, but if your state requires DOT-rated tires to register a UTV as street legal, ITP tires will not satisfy that requirement. Tell us if you are building a street-legal machine and we will point you toward DOT-rated options.
Can I use ITP tires for racing? You can ride them however you like, but tires used in racing or competition are excluded from the ITP warranty. Worth knowing before you buy a set for a race season.
Who owns ITP? ITP is part of The Carlstar Group, acquired by Titan International, Inc. (NYSE: TWI) on February 29, 2024 for approximately $296 million. Warranty claims are handled by the Titan Specialty Division.
What is the difference between Mud Lite, Mud Lite II and Mud Lite XTR? They are three generations and constructions of the same family. Mud Lite is the original and one of the most recognized mud tires in powersports. Mud Lite II is the updated tread. Mud Lite XTR is the radial, more aggressive version. All three are mud-first tires that still handle trail miles between the mud holes.
Aluminum or steel ITP wheels? Aluminum is lighter, carries the limited lifetime warranty, and costs more. Steel is the cheapest wheel in the catalog, bends rather than cracks under impact, and carries no lifetime coverage. For most riders aluminum is the better buy. For a plow machine, a work rig or a spare, steel is a smart, honest choice.
What is a beadlock wheel and do I need one? A beadlock clamps the tire bead mechanically to the rim so you can run very low pressure without rolling the tire off the wheel. Rock crawlers and low-pressure riders want them. Most trail and utility riders do not. If you buy one, torque the ring bolts evenly to spec — over-tightening strips the holes and voids the warranty.
How do I know an ITP wheel will fit my machine? Bolt pattern, offset, backspacing and load rating all have to match, and a wheel that bolts up can still rub at full steering lock, especially on a lifted machine with larger tires. Send us your year, model, current wheel size and lift status and we will confirm before you order.
Blackwater Evolution Tire ($201.99–$326.95) — 8-ply construction with ITP's Tough Tread compound, a non-directional lug pattern and sidewall armor over the shoulder. Named for the original Blackwater that launched three decades ago. The best all-around ITP tire and our top seller in the brand.
Versa Cross Series Tire ($244.95–$307.95) — Multi-terrain radial for riders who split time between trail, gravel and work. The one to buy when no single terrain dominates your riding.
Terra Hook Tire ($192.95–$254.95) — 8-ply radial with 3/4-inch multi-angled channeled lugs and alternating shoulder elements that grip from any approach angle. Thirteen sizes from 26x9.00R12 to 35x10.00R15. The 29-inch sizes carry the highest load rating in the range at up to 1,650 lb.
Mayhem Series Tire ($181.95–$271.95) — Aggressive all-terrain tread at the value end of the aggressive range.
Hurricane Wheel ($152.95–$296.95) — Aluminum alloy, the wheel that anchored ITP's sport line and still the most requested ITP wheel we sell. Carries the limited lifetime warranty.
Cyclone Wheel ($181.95–$186.95) — Aluminum alloy in a tighter price band than the Hurricane, and a cleaner look on utility machines. Limited lifetime warranty.
SS112 Sport Wheel ($122.95–$131.95) — The entry point into ITP's SS Alloy series. Lightest way into an aluminum ITP wheel with full lifetime coverage.
SD10 Beadlock Rims ($306.99) — 1,300 lb load rating, Rock Armor inner lip, OE-matching offset. Built for the Polaris Pro R, Turbo R, XPEDITION and Can-Am Maverick R. Torque the ring bolts to spec — over-tightening strips the holes and voids the warranty.
