The MRT Tires Power Slide is a UTV sand paddle tire set built for dune riding: a 12-paddle 35x13R15 rear for drive and a 35x11R15 front with MRT's DuneLine center rib to hold your steering line in loose sand. Each tire is sold individually, and rims are not included.
MRT builds the Power Slide with a 4-ply construction designed to give the flex a sand tire needs, and the rear carries 25.4 mm of paddle depth to keep the machine driving forward through soft sand instead of digging in.
Key Features
- Rear paddle tire with 12 deep-profile paddles and 25.4 mm tread depth
- Front tire with MRT's DuneLine center rib for steering bite in loose sand
- 4-ply construction designed for the flex a sand tire needs
- Rated to 50 mph, with load ratings of 1,100 lbs (front) and 1,170 lbs (rear)
- Sold individually so you can buy fronts and rears in the quantities you need
Built To Solve: UTV Bogging and Wandering in Soft Dune Sand
- All-terrain or trail tires that dig holes instead of driving across soft sand
- Front end that pushes or wanders on loose bowl and ridge lines
- Loss of momentum when climbing dune faces
- Heavy tires that blunt acceleration in sand
Best For: UTV Dune Riders Building a Dedicated Sand Setup
- Dune riders who want a matched front and rear sand tire from one brand
- Owners running 15-inch rims who can clear a 35-inch tire
- Riders building a second set of wheels and tires just for sand trips
- Not the right pick for rock, mud or hardpack trail riding; MRT's ALL TRAX is the sand-and-snow option with a non-paddle tread

Fitment
Fits UTVs running 15-inch rims. MRT recommends a 15x8 or 15x9 rim for the 35x11R15 front and a 15x9, 15x10 or 15x11 rim for the 35x13R15 rear.
MRT tires are sold individually and fit by rim diameter, not by vehicle make or model. Confirm your rim diameter, the width your rim supports, and the tire clearance your machine has at full suspension compression and full steering lock before ordering. Fitment is not guaranteed on unlisted applications.
FAQ
Why does my UTV bog down in the dunes?
Standard tread blocks dig into soft sand instead of pushing against it. A paddle rear like the Power Slide's 12-paddle 35x13R15 is built to throw sand and drive the machine forward.
Why does a sand setup use a different front tire?
The rear paddles provide drive, while the front needs to steer. The Power Slide front uses MRT's DuneLine center rib to keep the nose on its line in loose terrain.
What rim sizes does the Power Slide need?
Both tires mount on 15-inch rims. MRT recommends 15x8 or 15x9 for the front and 15x9, 15x10 or 15x11 for the rear.
Is the Power Slide sold as a set?
No. Each tire is sold individually and rims are not included, so order the number of fronts and rears your machine needs.
Can I mount these myself?
They mount like any tubeless UTV tire. Use a tire machine or a shop, and check that the rear paddles are mounted in the direction of rotation shown on the tire.
How does the Power Slide compare to MRT's ALL TRAX?
The Power Slide is a dedicated paddle setup for dunes. The ALL TRAX uses an inverted tread for flotation in sand and snow, which suits riders who need one tire for both.
Why MRT Tires
MRT (Moto Race Tire) builds its UTV range around anti-puncture sidewall construction. Its race, desert and rock lines use Kevlar- or aramid-belted sidewalls, and several models are offered in a sticky compound for riders who need more grip. Dunes 2 Dezert SXS carries the MRT line alongside the wheels, lug hardware and repair gear you need to finish the job.
Complete Your UTV Dune Tire Setup
Order the Power Slide fronts and rears your machine needs, then confirm you have 15-inch wheels in the recommended widths and enough clearance for 35-inch tires. A tire plug kit and a deflator are worth carrying on every dune trip.
