Dominate the dunes with the superior sand driving technology of the Tensor® Sand Series tires!
Sand performance technology – The Tensor Sand Series tires feature Velocity Grid Technology, giving you industry-leading traction, power, and steering on sandy terrain. By utilizing additional mini square and rectangular grids across the face of the tire, this technology creates thousands of additional "scoops" and biting edges. The result? These Tensor tires grab and push more sand, directly translating to improvements in handling, acceleration, and braking. More bite = more control!
Lightweight power delivery – By using 2-ply construction and Velocity Grid technology, Tensor significantly reduces tire weight without sacrificing performance. Less weight means less rotating mass, which means your machine does less work to spin the tires. That reduction in workload frees up horsepower for acceleration and top speed. Less weight = more power to the ground!
UTV optimized – Available in 33", 35", and 37" overall heights, the Sand Series offers the clearance and fitment flexibility that today's high-horsepower UTVs and side-by-sides demand. Dual apex turning ribs enhance steering response up front, while optimized paddle count and paddle height on the rear tires help you launch harder and carry more speed up steep faces. The result is a tire system built to match the fast-paced, high-angle riding that defines modern dune machines. Push harder, climb higher!
Sand Series Terrain Guide
Features and Benefits
- Engineer designed- Tensor's engineers designed these tires specifically for high-performance UTVs. From high-horsepower builds to lifted machines, these tires are tuned to handle extreme setups and deliver the performance serious riders demand!
- Velocity Grid™ design- This patent-pending design adds a significant amount of biting edges and additional scooping power to your tire while keeping the weight low. The result is a multi-functional tread that heightens your handling, amplifies your acceleration, and boosts your braking!
-
Superior paddle performance- The Tensor Sand Series rear tires are purposefully engineered using smaller, more frequent paddles to improve throttle control and deliver stable, predictable cornering. They also lessen the load on your drivetrain and improve RPM efficiency which reduces the strain on your vehicle.
- 33 Inch Rear Tires- Optimal ground clearance for standard UTV's. UTVs14 paddles with a 1" height.
-
35 & 37 Inch Rear Tires- Peak ground clearance and performance benefits intended for high horsepower UTVs and SxS's. 16 paddles with 1 ¼ height.
- these sizes deliver 30% more traction per paddle compared to the 33-inch size due to a taller paddle and optimized shape.
- also provide 50% greater overall traction surface area by combining larger paddles with an increased paddle count- 16 paddles compared to 14.
- Better control- With dual apex turning ribs and Velocity Grid Technology, the front tires of the Sand Series provide exceptional steering response. Pair that with the benefits of the rear tires and you get a tire setup that helps you feel planted and dives you responsive and easy driving at any speed.

Sand Tire Pressure Recommendations
These pressures are starting points only. Your actual vehicle weight, terrain, and driving aggression will dictate the optimal setting for performance and tire wear.
-
For a Harsh Ride: Start by dropping all tires by 2 psi to improve comfort.
-
Handling Adjustment- Understeer (Pushing): Decrease rear pressure relative to the front to introduce more oversteer.
-
Handling Adjustment- Oversteer (Over-rotating): Decrease front pressure relative to the rear to introduce more understeer.
-
Wheel Protection: Run the lowest possible pressure that still protects the wheel from damage. Excessive pressure makes tires easier to puncture.
