For a lot of ATV owners, the smart move is a mud tire only a little taller than stock that bites hard in the slop without asking much of the machine.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/assassinator-mud-tires-295-8-14-st-6-machined-wheels\">Assassinator Mud Tires 29.5&#215;8-14 on ST-6 Machined Wheels<\/a> package fits that idea. It is a set of four, with lug nuts and center caps included.<\/p>\n<h2>A mud tire in a manageable size<\/h2>\n<p>At 29.5&#215;8-14, the Assassinator is tall enough to add some clearance over a typical stock tire but not so big that it overwhelms the machine. The 8-inch width keeps it narrow, which helps it slice down through soft mud toward firmer ground. That narrow profile also tends to steer lighter than a wide tire, which you will appreciate on a long day in the woods.<\/p>\n<p>Mud tires like this are built with deep, open tread that clears itself as the tire spins, so it keeps biting instead of packing up and turning into a slick.<\/p>\n<h2>ST-6 machined wheels<\/h2>\n<p>The tires come on ST-6 wheels with a machined finish. Machined accents stand out against a black tire and make the machine look sharp after a wash. The 14-inch diameter leaves a decent sidewall for flex over roots and ruts.<\/p>\n<h2>Easier on the machine<\/h2>\n<p>Going too big on tires can cause a long list of problems: rubbing, belt slip, broken axles and sluggish acceleration. A moderate size like 29.5 inches keeps most of those concerns in check. That makes this package a good choice for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Riders who want mud traction without a lift<\/li>\n<li>Hunters and landowners who ride wet ground<\/li>\n<li>Machines that still run a mostly stock drivetrain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every machine is different, so it still pays to check clearance before you buy.<\/p>\n<p>A moderate tire also keeps your gearing closer to stock, so the machine still pulls well when you are towing a trailer or climbing out of a wet bottom.<\/p>\n<h2>Confirm fit<\/h2>\n<p>Make sure the wheels match your hub bolt pattern, and check for rubbing at full steering lock and full suspension compression. If you are not sure whether 29.5 inches will clear your machine, call the Wild Boar team at 850-912-4350 and we will help you sort it out.<\/p>\n<p>We can also help you compare this size with a slightly taller option if you are weighing the two.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/assassinator-mud-tires-295-8-14-st-6-machined-wheels\">Shop Assassinator 29.5&#215;8-14 on ST-6 Machined Wheels<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four Assassinator 29.5&#215;8-14 mud tires on ST-6 machined wheels, a modest-size mud package with lug nuts and center caps included for a complete install.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31356"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31356\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31356"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=31356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
