Tusk Terrabites vs Megabytes

[TxDoc]

Friend asked me and I didn't know. They both look great.

Rides mostly hardpack and trails. No really deep mud, but shallow mud. No rock crawling. Some pavement between land owned along farm to market roads.

Is one of these better for this? And how many plies and are radials? Finally, DOT approved?

Thank you

Mega more open lugged, so a bit better in mud and snow. Terra probably better suited if you're going to stay dry on hard pack or put on many road miles.

Terrabite:

• Radial, 8 Ply Rated Construction.
• Truck style tread for smooth ride on hard surfaces.
• Excellent off road performance.
• High load ratings for today’s larger machines.
• Tread depth: 3/4 inch.
• Medium/Hard terrain tire.

Megabite:

• Patented tread design.
• Soft-Medium Terrain.
• Radial, 8 Ply rated construction.
• Excellent off-road performance driven design.
• Superior performance in loose terrain or hardpack surfaces.
• Increased traction for high horsepower models.
• Ultimate straight line stability under acceleration in loose terrain.
• Aggressive tread styling.
• Self-cleaning large open tread design.
• 3/4" tread depth.

There is no such thing as a DOT approved ATV/UTV tire.

I love the megabites but if very light mud and hard pack with pavement I would say terrabite.

I had Terrabites on my Pioneer and I’ve got Megabites currently on my Talon. I would say the Terra’s would do better for your type of riding. The Megas have a softer rubber compound and wear quicker on the pavement.

Also the Terra’s did good on the alpine loop and I was impressed with them in the mud of southern Louisiana. Not the best for the mud but it worked. As far as the Megas, I was happy with them in Tennessee and the did ok on the rocky trails of central western Texas but I did get a pinch flat there.

Scoop, Mudwisel, and K9Paco...
Thank you very much for the great opinions and technical data and information.

I'm running Interco Sniper 920's. I'm gonna pass this on to my friend and see how his wear and perform. I may go with one of these two, next time.

Thank y'all, again.
