ITP® Sand Star® ATV & SxS Paddle Tires — Premium Precision and Massive Dune Hookup!
Dominate the dunes with the industry standard for sand performance: the ITP® Sand Star®. Engineered specifically for pure sand and desert applications, these lightweight paddle tires deliver unparalleled floatation, blistering acceleration, and precision steering control on the steepest razorbacks and softest bowls. Built by ITP—the undisputed leader in ATV paddle tires—the Sand Star utilizes a specialized 2-ply rated bias construction that drastically reduces rotational mass, allowing your machine to spool up faster and float effortlessly over loose, deep sand.
The Sand Star series features application-specific profiles designed to work together as a flawless system. The Front Tire utilizes a patent-pending dual-rib center tread that cuts through the sand like a rudder, providing razor-sharp cornering and unmatched steering authority without pushing. The Rear Tire boasts an aggressive 8-paddle design with 30mm deep blades. What sets it apart are the molded "mini-scoops" integrated between the main paddles, which act as secondary bite points for massive straight-line acceleration and rock-solid lateral stability during high-speed dune carving.
