Cross-Terrain Radial: STI Presents The All-New Black Diamond

STI Tire & Wheel has now released a new diamond in the rough: Black Diamond. This super-versatile new ATV/UTV tire is designed to deliver crossover performance—an ideal choice for all terrain types and all seasons—at a value price.

The Black Diamond’s innovative “V” tread pattern bridges the gap between soft mud/snow/sand and hardpack surface capabilities. Its unique over-center tread elements provide a smooth, controlled ride on hardpack, while offering excellent traction and clean-out in soft conditions. The Black Diamond’s 6-ply radial carcass was developed specifically to provide the stability needed for side-by-side UTV applications, while retaining the plush ride characteristics favored by ATV riders. An extended-wear tread compound retains biting edges longer and greatly increases tire life.



The Black Diamond XTR utilizes a more aggressive 1 1/8-inch lug depth.

The XTR model’s sizes are 25x8R-12, 25x10R-12, 26x10R-12, 26x12R-12, 27x9R-12, 27x11R-12, 26x9R-14, 26x11R-14, 27x9R-14, 27x11R-14, 26x9R-15 and 26x11R-15 (26x9R-12 and 26x11R-12 sizes are coming soon). STI Black Diamond tires are available at finer ATV/UTV dealers everywhere, through MTA Distributing. For more information, to place an order or to locate an STI dealer, visit www.mtadistributing.com or call: East (318) 255-0049; West (951) 272-0971.

Not a bad looking tire.

Nice lookin' tire and a good size range too! Thanks for the info. Yank

I know the V thing works well in mud....but it sucks at slow speed on pavement. That drives me nuts.

Its about two miles to my local stuff, from my garage. I had three different set of tires on the Rhino and they all shook the hell out of it a slow speeds. Too much of a gap between V's. After the double back flip roll I have become a candy ass. I didnt think it bothered me until Grey Rock....Not sure why....but the five broke ribs didnt slow me down.....then one little double back flip and I have no sac.

your sac will grow back. not as big as before but it will grow back with time.

Coming from you Bush, I believe it. How long did it take to get over the ravine episode??

My SAC has shrink because of you guys. I would rather buy a lesson then learn one......

you never really get over it. having a new machine and the crash slowed me down some but im back to say 90% of what i was before the crash and thats after almost 1 1/2 years. the last few months i have slowed down a lot because my rzr will not stay in low and im afraid i will be climbing a hill and something break.

I believe my smaller sac was because I had a passenger and he got thrown out. Luckily he wasnt hurt. He wears the seat belt now.

pit bull Growlers are the smoothest tire I have tried yet.

The baja cross on really smooth
