• Protection: feature ultra deep wheel lip protector to reduce custom wheels debris damage.

How to choose your MotoHavok tire size today

Select accurately by decoding sidewall sizes and matching them to wheel specs and ride priorities.

Reading size codes to match your wheels

A size such as 35×8.5-22 equals ~35″ OD, 8.5″ width, on a 22″ wheel. Match the wheel number to your current wheel to avoid extra cost and fitment headaches.

Pick based on terrain needs

Decide whether you want maximum deep mud traction or a more composed hard-pack ride. Going larger increases clearance for ruts and bogs.

Narrower sections (e.g., 8.5″) slice down to firmer layers; wider choices spread contact for stability on flats.

Mind clearance, gearing, and weight

The common 6-ply carcass construction gives strong sidewall support across the lineup. But taller, heavier options add rotational mass and can change acceleration and CVT behavior.

Confirm steering clearance at full lock/compression, verify offsets if wheel diameter changes, and factor added payload (winch/cage) to keep suspension/gearing balanced.

• Decode size codes quickly to match your rim and avoid extra cost.
• Choose diameter for clearance; use width to tune cut-through vs float.
• Account for driveline and steering impacts prior to purchase.

Key takeaways:

• Compare true weights/loads to predict acceleration feel and payload support.
• Uniform tread depth lets lugs dig in mud yet stay predictable on hard-pack.
• Low-30″ sizes gain clearance with modest weight; 42″ adds mass but significant load capacity.
• Verify stock and shipping—many sizes are in; some carry 4–6 week leads.

Engineering for grip: tread, lugs & wheel protection

Here the design focuses on grip—each tread element and protector is purposeful. The EFX design focuses on real-world performance from mud to hard-pack.

Industry-first checkmark tread for traction in drive and reverse

A checkmark layout interlocks lugs to increase edges. It provides steady forward grip and dependable reverse traction for backing out.

2”+ lugs for standout deep-mud bite

Staggered 2″+ lugs self-clean quickly and stabilize the patch in ruts. Reinforced shoulders and grooves boost lateral bite for planted side-hilling.

An ultra deep wheel lip protector shields bead lips and channels rocks and roots away from the bead area. That armoring custom wheels limits cosmetic damage and helps keep the bead sealed in harsh terrain.

Build and compliance notes

Build choices determine how a mud-focused tire behaves under UTV loads.

The core engineering is a bulletproof 6-ply carcass built on a bias belt platform. That balance yields sidewall stiffness for stability yet enough flex to conform to ruts/obstacles.

The lineup is tubeless and optimized for UTV use. Going tubeless simplifies mounting, reduces rotating mass, and supports fast plug-type fixes.

Load and handling considerations

• Non-DOT compliance means these are for off-road and private-property use only; do not use on public roads where DOT is required.
• Published weights range across SKUs (roughly 36–81 lbs) and most have a 2.5″ tread depth and max loads from about 740 to 1390 lbs.
• Some SKUs are oversized items—plan for special handling, storage, and shipping on larger orders.

Although aggressive in appearance, the casing is tuned for calmer ride quality than many ag-style rivals. Engineering—not just big lugs—underpins the ag-style performance balance.

Review load ratings and SKU notes to ensure passenger/gear support matches your riding. That helps avoid delivery surprises and preserves predictable results.

Wheel fitment guidance for custom builds

A proper match between rim and profile protects finishes and improves handling.

Choose a section width that aligns with your wheel lips. An 8.5″ section usually sits well on deep rims—no pinch or balloon.

Confirm bead/flange alignment so the ultra-deep lip protector overlays the rim edge. Proper alignment maximizes armoring custom wheels while preventing exposed edges.

With beadlocks, confirm ring/clamp shapes so the protector clears hardware on wide/concave faces.

How to pair with armoring custom wheels for debris management

Set offset/backspacing to clear steering/knuckles while maintaining bead protection. Test-fit a corner to verify full-lock caliper clearance.

• Use hub-centric rings and quality lugs to keep the assembly concentric and reduce vibration.
• Balance mud bite with smooth feel by pairing rim/profile for swamps and trails.
• Wide stance builds may need fender extensions to control fling from aggressive lugs.

Thoughtful protector geometry from EFX benefits smart wheel choices. The result: fewer chips from custom wheels debris and cleaner rims after a muddy weekend.

From mud to hard-pack: performance overview

Field reports show fierce mud bite with predictable handling on hard-pack.

Serious mud grip with consistent stability

Tall lugs and wide voids self-clear in clay pits and gumbo. It sustains deep-mud bite through long, heavy-throttle sections.

Checkmark geometry aids traction when pivoting or reversing. That limits spin and helps maintain control in sticky spots.

Smooth ride on graded trails and flats

On graded routes, the carcass spreads load over the patch. With less chatter, long days feel more comfortable.

When you hop from puddles to hard-pan, the contact patch transitions predictably. You get stability—not twitch—so connectors can be taken with confidence.

• Flotation/rut bridging beat small knobbies with minimal steering penalty.
• Feedback notes bite + poise that maintains momentum as terrain varies.
• UTV-specific; numerous options maintain 2.5″ depth for steady off-road behavior.

Inventory, lead times, and U.S. shipping: buy with confidence

Knowing which items ship now versus those with multi-week lead times saves last-minute headaches.

Plenty of common fitments display “In Stock & Ready To Ship”. This leads to quicker delivery and fewer planning hiccups. Select big-diameter SKUs note 4–6 week leads—verify ETA in the selector.

In the U.S., many orders qualify for free shipping, but some SKUs are oversized. Expect special handling on oversized SKUs; couriers may require signatures/windows.

Quick shipping and delivery notes

• Plan ahead for lead-time SKUs if a trip is scheduled; order early to keep plans on track.
• Retailers send tracking after shipment; oversized deliveries can require someone present.
• Verify wheel specs before ordering so the feature ultra deep lip protector and armoring custom wheels benefit your rims right away.
• These are tubeless and non-DOT—mount for off-road use only and keep plugs and a compressor handy for field repairs.

Bringing It All Together

Decide by aligning real needs with the published specs and fitment info.

You get 2″+ lugs and a 6-ply bias carcass for deep-mud grip, with calm hard-pack behavior. Ultra-deep lip protection brings meaningful rim defense for custom setups.

Let weights, load ratings, and 2.5″ depth guide your diameter/width choice for clearance and load. Double-check clutching/gearing after upsizing.

Plenty of popular sizes are in stock; some list 4–6 week leads. Confirm availability, place the order, and get back out riding.
