Titan International adds the ITP Kinetic to its UTV tire lineup, targeting heavier side-by-sides with an 8-ply radial built in Tennessee

Titan International announced the ITP Kinetic all-terrain UTV tire on 21 July 2026, adding a domestically manufactured option to its ITP powersports lineup^[1]. The tire is aimed squarely at the growing class of larger, heavier side-by-sides whose weight and torque have outpaced what older tire designs were built to handle.

What the Kinetic is

The Kinetic is an 8-ply radial tire built around four structural priorities: traction across mixed terrain, puncture resistance, steering precision, and wheel protection^[1].

Its tread architecture combines several elements:

• An open, aggressive lug pattern for grip in loose dirt, ruts, and rocky conditions
• Strategic siping across the tread face for improved bite on uneven or slippery surfaces
• Dimpled tread elements to sharpen steering response and stability
• Inter-shoulder lug spacing designed to shed mud and debris rather than pack it in

Reinforced sidewalls and an integrated rim guard are standard across all sizes, protecting against cuts, impacts, and rock strikes that can damage both the tire carcass and the wheel bead seat^[1].

The radial construction is intended to deliver a compliant ride on hardpack and graded roads while retaining the structural stiffness needed for rock crawling and aggressive trail work - a balance that bias-ply tires in this class typically trade off against each other.

Where it is made and what sizes are available

The Kinetic is manufactured at ITP's facility in Clinton, Tennessee, the same plant that has produced ITP's ATV and UTV tire range since the brand was established in 1982^[1]. Titan has not disclosed production volumes or capacity figures for the new line.

The tire is currently available in five sizes through dealers nationwide; one confirmed fitment is the 32x10.00R15NHS, shown on a Polaris Ranger in Titan's own product imagery^[1]. Pricing was not disclosed at launch.

Who is buying

The Kinetic is positioned as an aftermarket replacement and upgrade tire sold through powersports dealers, not as an OEM fitment. Rental fleets that operate UTVs for site access, property management, or recreational use are a natural secondary market, given the tire's emphasis on durability across mixed surfaces rather than outright performance in a single condition.

Titan International (NYSE: TWI) is a global manufacturer of wheels, tires, and undercarriage products for agricultural, earthmoving, mining, and construction equipment. The ITP sub-brand handles the powersports segment.

What to watch

Titan has not announced additional sizes beyond the initial five, nor has it indicated whether the Kinetic will be submitted for OEM qualification programs at any of the major UTV manufacturers. The degree to which rental operators adopt the tire as a fleet-wide standard - rather than a spot replacement - will be a clearer signal of whether the 8-ply radial specification hits the durability threshold that high-cycle commercial use demands.
