  One of the most aggressive truck tire makers, Toyo, has entered the UTV world with a product developed specifically for the side-by-side segment from the ground up. Guys like Robby Gordon and Bryce Menzies have already been running the tire at King Of The Hammers, Baja and in Dakar.   Its tread design is very similar in appearance to the competition Toyo makes for off-road racing or the on road truck market.

Most machines come with pleated paper filters or a paper filter with a foam pre-filter. Paper filters trap dirt well, but they’re designed to be replaced when dirty, which can get expensive if you drive in dusty conditions. Aftermarket…
