Race-proven and desert-designed, the Tensor "Desert Series" tire is the ultimate hardpack and arid terrain tire!
Race-tested performance- Tensor's Desert Series delivers race-proven traction and precision steering on dry hardpack and desert terrain with it's purpose built tread design. The open tread pattern and thick shoulder blocks provide biting edges for acceleration and braking, while staggered center ribs maintain straight-line stability and cornering firmness. The result: predictable handling that lets you push harder on everything from desert flats to dusty two-track trails!
Lightweight and rugged- With proprietary construction and a lightweight bias-ply design, the Desert Series tire gives you maximum performance without the strain of heavyweight tires. No wonder it's a popular choice among desert race teams! In addition, the ribbed sidewalls and shoulders provide outstanding puncture resistance and protection where you need it most. Combine those two features (lightweight & durable), and you get a tire perfectly suited to the demands of desert driving.
Flexible terrain applications – The Tensor DS tire is designed for wide applicability across a variety of desert terrains. From light sand to salt flats, the tread pattern of the Desert Series tires allows you to switch between conditions without a drop in performance. Available in multiple sizes and rubber compounds (hard and soft), it’s easy to choose the setup that best matches your driving style, terrain conditions, and UTV. The thick tread blocks are also engineered for custom grooving, allowing you to fine-tune the tread pattern to your specific needs. This flexibility lets the DS adapt as conditions change, instead of locking you into a one-terrain solution. As a result, the Tensor Desert Series tire serves as the perfect bridge between serious desert riders and race enthusiasts.
