The Dirt, Mud and Mud Hook XXTREMES all feature Bridgestone’s Cut-Resistant Compound for extra strength and durability, as well as with tread patterns that are top performers in both dirt and mud.

ridgestone’s approach to ATV tires is all business. Easy business for you, too, because there’s not much explanation needed to close a Bridgestone sale. These ATV tires are familiar players in the field. The Bridgestone Dirt Hooks, for example, are Original Equipment on plenty of Honda models, such as the Rancher TRX350, TRX400 and the Foreman Rubicon TRX500. Bridgestone ATV tires are built to perform, built tough, come in all the right sizes and they’ll stick around for the long haul. Come replacement time, especially for ATVs primarily used out on the trail, on the farm or for general utility duty, Bridgestones are an easy sale.
     There are plenty of features making all this possible, starting with the Cut-Resistant Compound (CRC) Bridgestone uses in all its ATV tires. This is the same rubber compound Bridgestone uses in its ultra-rugged Firestone-brand forestry tires. Not only does this compound dramatically improve the wear characteristics, it throws an iron block in the way of any punctures or cuts. There’s real strength here, and durability that doesn’t quit.
     These high-mileage/injury-resistant tires deliver plenty of traction, too. Bridgestone ATV tread patterns are performers in both dirt and mud; they’ll run across the hard-pack or slog through the wettest swamps. The Dirt Hooks, both front and rear, shine in, well, the dirt. The tread pattern and lugs are aggressive, but not overly so. This is a great all-around choice, and a popular one. The Bridgestone Mud Hooks take it one step further, patterned and lugged to deal with the slimiest, ooziest bogs. But don’t get the idea the Mud Hooks are one-trick ponies; they’ll take on dry-land running and trail work with the best of them, but when you come up on something that makes you gulp, the Mud Hooks don’t. They’ll power right through the worst obstacles encountered.
     And now there’s one more, the brand-new and just introduced Bridgestone Mud Hook XXTREME. This is an ATV tire able to take on anything. The XXTREME is designed for serious traction in seriously deep mud. The new XXTREME Mud Hooks feature deeply recessed lugs on both the front (where they measure 0.94-in.), and the rear (measuring a gigantic 1.05-in.) giving riders the unflinching ability to get through the most challenging mud mire without thinking twice. With the XXTREMES you know you’re coming out on the other side. These new Bridgestones feature a rugged 6-ply rating, too, and there’s a technically advanced ramped shape shoulder block, which combined with a rim and bead protector helps the grip and enhances sidewall protection. The XXTREMES are available right now in 26 x 9-12 and 26 x 12-12 sizes, with more on the way. Parts Unlimited numbers are 0320-0088 and 0320-0089.
     See why Bridgestone means business? Trail and utility ATV riders will love all of this, especially those new Mud Hook XXTREMES, and Parts Unlimited has it all.
