Maxxis ATV Zilla 26x11-12 6PLY 55J MU02

Conquer tough off-road conditions with the Maxxis ATV Zilla 26x11-12 6PLY 55J MU02. This purpose-built mud tire is engineered for mid-size ATVs and UTVs that demand ruthless traction, puncture resistance, and reliable handling when the terrain gets messy. The MU02 designation signals a modern Zilla lineage designed to endure long, demanding rides in the most challenging environments.

• 
  Monster mud traction — aggressive, forward-facing lugs and deep voids maximize bite in sucking mud, soft sand, and slick trail surfaces, while preserving forward momentum when others bog down.
• 
  6-ply durability — a rugged carcass that stands up to sharp rocks, roots, and debris without sacrificing ride comfort or predictable steering.
• 
  Self-cleaning tread — the tread geometry sheds mud efficiently, reducing clogging and maintaining consistent grip from start to finish.
• 
  Reinforced sidewalls — edge protection and increased side-grip help you maintain control when you encounter ruts, rocks, or uneven terrain at speed.
• 
  12-inch rim compatibility — specifically designed to fit 12" ATV/UTV wheels, with an 11" tire width to balance flotation and precise steering on aggressive trails.
• 
  MU02 with 55J rating — a solid load/speed designation that supports stable performance under typical ATV use, giving you confident handling when tasks demand both torque and travel fast-paced sections.
• 
  Ideal applications — mud bogging, swamp trails, desert wash, rocky single-track, and rough farm routes where standard street tires can’t keep up.

Why choose Zilla over lighter-duty mud tires? The 6-ply construction and rugged tread are designed to deliver longer wear in abrasive terrain and superior puncture resistance when you’re chasing trails that punish lighter setups. This tire is built for riders who push their machines beyond groomed trails—without sacrificing predictable steering or on-bike feedback.

Usage tips for best results: start with OEM-recommended pressures and adjust based on terrain and rider weight; distribute load evenly; rotate tires regularly to promote even wear; and pair the Zilla with matching tires on the front for balanced handling. Regular inspection for cuts, bulges, or uneven wear helps you stay ahead of potential failures on rugged days out.

Upgrade your ATV’s capability with the Maxxis Zilla MU02 — a dedicated mud weapon that delivers traction, durability, and dependable control when the going gets tough.
