HOLESHOT XCR
"ITP's Holeshot XCR has been used by cross country speedsters William Yokley and
Brad Page to win the pro class at many GNCC events. Ö ITP's Holeshot XCR gave us
noticeably more grip in soft dirt than the stock tires. We always felt in control,
whether we were turning on a loose surface or trying to build momentum at the base
of a soft hillclimb. Ö The Holeshot XCRs outperformed the stock tires even more
on hard terrain than they did in soft dirt. Very secure drive traction and cornering
grip with predictable sliding habits gave the Suzuki relaxed handling, even though
we were riding faster than we were with some of the other tires. Öthe ITP Holeshot
XCRs elevated the Suzuki's handling to a level where it became a faster, more fun
machine. This tireÖlaid down the fastest lap time of the group. This is the top
performing tire in the group for mixed terrain conditions with an abundance of hard
terrain."
HOLESHOT ATR
DIRT WHEELS MAGAZINE
"We think these will be some of the best replacement tires you can find for your
sport/utility quad. The ATRs are priced reasonably for such a high-tech, great handling
all-purpose tire. They hook up well, steer great and are plenty durable."

"News flash, the ITP ATR tires give extremely good traction in the ice/snow conditions!
Öit was unbelievable how much traction we had. This is a superior combination."
ATV MAGAZINE
"Öthe ATRs gave the rider far more confidenceÖa far more precise ride, more accurate
steering, increased stability, with a tremendous increase in traction. Öit would
be arguable as to whether any other tire could out accelerate the ATR on any trail
surface, from hard pack to slop!"

MUD LITE
ATV MAGAZINE
"ITP's latest is a strong contender, according to our testers. Ö Mud Lites did almost
everything well. They are excellent biters, and track true in both forward and reverse.
They have incredible gripÖ From a stop, the clawing action is great. 'Yikes. Awesome
pulling power without being overly heavy,' wrote one tester. Overall, the tires
were excellent, especially considering the weight. They pulled almost as well as
the extra-large lugged tires in this test, without the performance sacrifice."
ATV MAGAZINE
"The Mud Lite tires-both the AT and XL-deliver a surprisingly strong performance.
They look and ride just like a stock tire, but can get aggressive when the conditions
get nasty. And in their XL form, they provide competitive traction in a controllable
ride."
589 M/S
ATV MAGAZINE
"As for its clawing ability, opinions were unanimous. This tire was one of the best.
'It digs out of anything,' one tester wrote. The lugs stay very clean and rarely
plug up, even in the stickiest mud. Overall, the tire impressed us in its ability
to gain and maintain traction. They are an excellent puller, without the clunky
feel of most tall-lug tires. This tire is a perfect example of a great tire from
a couple years ago being improved by modern technology."
ATV MAGAZINE
"On hardpack, the 589 tread performed incredibly well. Öfor all-purpose riding,
these tires were our favorites. Öthe overall winner of this mud tire test. It's
a relatively lightweight tire that won't strain you or your machine's components.
And it muds with the best of them."
ATV MAGAZINE
"All the testers said the ITP 589 M/S tire was fabulous in the mud. Even in high
gear, these tires supplied plenty of traction for the Griz. In both deep, watery
mud and the gooey shallow stuff, these tires made it through-the self-cleaning nearly
perfect. The ITP 589s worked well in reverse, too. Ö They do a great job of climbing
in and out of the mud."
SAND STAR FRONT
DIRT WHEELS MAGAZINE
"Traction was superb and steering was judged to be the best of all the tires we
tested. Even with two center ribs, weight is not all that heavy. Bargain priced
as well. An excellent all-around front sand tire choice."
SAND STAR REAR
DIRT WHEELS MAGAZINE
"ITP's newest sand tire is called the Sand Star and it appears to have earned its
name. These tires are selling like hotcakes. The new rear tire is designed to match
up with their Sand Star fronts and offer outstanding traction and control. Our test
riders particularly liked this combination of front and rear sand tires for all-around
playing. The rears use an eight-blade design with an additional eight mini-scoops
on either side. The offset V-blades corner extremely well and have very good flotation
and sidehill traction."
