MAXXIS M961/M962 Mud Bug
 
The Maxxis Mud Bug features extra deep lugs to provide maximum traction in muddy terrain. In addition, angled tread bars divert mud away from the tire for improved grip. The Mud Bug is 6-ply rated for greater puncture resistance and is available in larger sizes to provide needed ground clearance.
 

 

Features & Benefits
 
  Comprehensive tread pattern delivers superior traction in mud, without sacrificing performance or ride comfort.
  
  30 mm tread bar height provides superior traction in the deepest mud.
  
  6-ply rating for excellent puncture resistance.
  
  Reinforced Carcass Ridge (RCR) Technology delivers strength, reduces weight, and sheds mud.
  
  Dual Stage Lugs (DSL) add to the overall tread lug strength.
  
  Sweeping, angled tread bars move mud out from the tread, enabling riders to tackle the most extreme riding conditions.
  
  One of the lightest mud tires on the market and easy to mount.
 
  When mounting oversized tires on your ATV, be sure to check for proper fitment and tire clearance

User Reviews

I have a Honda 500 Foreman with a set of 27-8-12 and 27-12-12 Mud Bug tires. This tire is very light and has a good ride. The steering is very easy and smooth. I had my Honda in over 2 ft. of mud and made it to the other side of the mud bog. If you like to play in the mud and have a super ride this is the tire to go with!
-Steven Beshears

I bought this tire in the fall of 2005. I have never had a tire perform like this one has in mud, snow, dry, rocky, it doesn't matter once the huge tire lugs get a bite you will go through whatever lays in front of you. Maxxis you really hit a grand slam with these tires. Nothing even comes close to the Maxxis Mud Bug.
-Jason Rhodes

I had Mud Bug tires on my 300 4x4 Honda and I loved them. Even though they are called a mud tire, they were excellent in the rocks, snow, hard pack, etc. I went with other tires for my new '06 Vinson. I am now going back to the Mud Bugs because the other tires take up too much power in rolling resistance (I noticed this right away just pushing the ATV around in the shop). Thanks Maxxis for a great tire!
-William Stewart

I have 25 inch Mud Bugs on my 06 Yamaha Rhino. I use these tires in rocky desert terrain. These tires have incredible traction, zero vibration on hard pack roads, and a compound that doesn't tear up in the rocks.
-Eric Heaton

Its trying but not doing too well.  You'd be better off choosing another for this terrain.

Average.  Its doing ok, not great but its holding its own.  A decent choice if you're compromising.

This tire does very well in this terrain but its not the best tire available however still a very good choice.

This tire performs exceptionally well in this terrain.  Among the best suited for this terrain.
