About AMS® Tire and Wheel
AMS Tires is a prominent off-road brand specializing in high-performance tires and wheels for ATV, UTV (SxS), and Dirt Bikes. Distributed exclusively by LeMans Corporation, the brand is positioned as a "no-frills" solution for riders who demand durability and traction across diverse terrains—from thick mud and rocky climbs to desert sands and paved trails.
AMS Tire Collection Overview
The AMS tire lineup is categorized by terrain specialization and performance needs:
- All-Terrain & Trail Performance: AMS All-Terrain: A flagship 8-ply radial tire with a light-truck-inspired design, featuring a deep rim guard and siped tread blocks for a smooth ride on hardpack and rocks. Blacktail & Black Widow: Rugged 6-ply or 8-ply radial options built for versatility in woods, trails, and rocks. Radial Pro A/T: Designed for high-speed stability and a quiet ride on varied terrain.
- Aggressive & Mud Specialization: Evil Series (M1, M2, M4, Mud Evil): Known for extreme traction. The "Evil" line features deep lug depths (up to 2 inches on the Mud Evil) and reinforced sidewalls for "nastier" trails and deep bogs. Swamp Fox & Swamp Fox Plus: Lightweight but aggressive tires featuring dimpled lugs designed to "claw" through mud and snow without over-stressing the drivetrain.
- Sport & ATV Specialized Terrain: Pactrax & Pactrax II: Engineered specifically for sport quads and racing, providing precise steering and flat resistance for motocross and desert racing. Sand Snake MX & Sand King: Purpose-built for dunes and sand, utilizing paddle-style designs for maximum flotation and forward bite. Street Fox: A specialized radial tire for riders who frequently traverse pavement or hard-surface roads.
- Dirt Bike (Motocross/Off-Road): Bite MX: A performance-driven tire for motorcycles, balancing grip on soft-to-intermediate soil.
Core Engineering Features
- Tough Construction: Most tires feature 6-ply or 8-ply bias or radial builds to resist punctures and sidewall cuts.
- Advanced Rubber Compounds: Natural rubber and dual-compound treads are used to balance long-lasting wear with the flexibility needed for grip.
- Protection: Integrated deep rim guards and extended shoulder lugs protect wheels from rock damage and debris.
- Ride Quality: The use of radial technology in many models ensures a smoother ride and more consistent contact patch at higher speeds.
Brand Mission: AMS aims to provide "trusted performance" that allows riders to conquer "the world's nastiest, muddiest, and most unforgiving trails" with dependable stability and value.

AMS Tires: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine the correct tire size for my machine?
Check the sidewall of your current tires or your vehicle's owner manual. AMS tires follow the standard industry three-number format (e.g., 30x10R14), where the first number is the height, the second is the width, and the third is the rim diameter. The "R" indicates a radial construction.
What are the benefits of AMS 8-Ply Radial tires?
Many AMS models, like the M1 Evil, feature an 8-ply radial casing. This provides a higher load-carrying capacity and superior puncture resistance compared to standard tires, while the radial design allows for a larger contact patch and a smoother ride at high speeds.
Should I choose the M1 Evil or M2 Evil?
The M1 Evil is the ultimate "do-it-all" radial for heavy UTVs. The M2 Evil offers a similar truck-style tread pattern but is engineered to be lighter, making it an excellent choice for riders who want agility and high performance without the extra weight.
What is the recommended air pressure (PSI) for AMS tires?
While PSI depends on your vehicle and cargo, most AMS off-road tires operate best between 7 and 14 PSI. For sand tires like the Sand King, you may run lower for flotation. Always check the specific "Max Load" PSI on your tire's sidewall for safety limits.
Does AMS offer tires for specific utility work?
Yes. Tires like the V-Trax are designed with a 6-ply nylon casing specifically for utility models like the Kawasaki Mule. They provide excellent traction on loamy farm soil and hard-packed trails while remaining durable for daily work tasks.
Where can I find AMS Tires and Wheels?
AMS products are distributed through a wide network of powersports dealers. Because AMS is a LeMans Corporation brand, you can find their tires at many local shops or through major online powersports retailers like Ride or Die Tire.
