Valor Offroad Alpha UTV Tire

Developed, engineered and manufactured in the United States ??, the Alpha is unlike any tire on the market.

This isn't our first rodeo. We've been manufacturing UTV specific tires for over 15 years, so we knew early that the Valor Offroad Alpha UTV Tire had to be something truly special.

MEDIUM SOFT COMPOUND
65 DUROMETER
Striking a balance between durability and performance can be tricky. We went softer than most of our competitors and landed on a medium-soft compound that gives you the bite you want when you need it, and the durability to last thousands of trail miles.

DESIGNED FROM THE GROUND UP
CONTACT PATCH
The Alpha UTV Tire utilizes enormous 20mm tread lugs and tight spacing to improve ride quality, reduce vibration and eliminate tire decibels on high speed hardpack.

Want to tackle some trail obstacles? Combine the Alpha's medium-soft H1 compound, multi-tiered tread pattern and deep shoulder armor for the ultimate upgrade for those difficult sections of trail.

Note

DOT APPROVED?

No. The Valor Alpha UTV Tire is not a DOT certified tire.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states that Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) and All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) tires offered for sale in the United States incorrectly labeled and marketed as being compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) are illegal.

This means that the symbol “DOT” cannot appear on any ATV, UTV, or Not for Highway Service (NHS) tire. Only tires intended for a vehicle certified to the FMVSS are legally permitted to be marked with “DOT” and may be marketed as conforming to the FMVSS.

Language that tires are “approved,” “certified,” or “compliant” with DOT standards are also prohibited per FMVSS standards.

Refer to NHTSA and FMVSS statement below:

According to 49 U.S.C. § 30102, a “motor vehicle” is defined as: (7) ‘‘motor vehicle’’ means a vehicle driven or drawn by mechanical power and manufactured primarily for use on public streets, roads, and highways, but does not include a vehicle operated only on a rail line.

Based on this definition, there are no FMVSS that apply to UTV or ATV tires, because UTVs and ATVs are not manufactured for use on public roadways. Additionally, 49 C.F.R. § 574, Tire Identification and Recordkeeping states:

49 C.F.R. § 574.5(e)(1) - The DOT symbol constitutes a certification that the marked tire conforms to an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. And:

49 C.F.R. § 574.5(e)(3) – The DOT symbol must not appear on tires to which no Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard is applicable.
