ITP DUNE STAR
Reason for being: ITP’s Dune Star
tires are great for any smaller AWD or

about perfect, and the front mini paddles assist with super traction. Also, it’s
a great tire for larger-bore 4x4 quads in
the 700–1000cc range. The Dune Star
fronts have center knobs with V-tread
ribs for steering, while rears deliver
straight-line bite with split, reinforced,
dual-depth paddles.
