Moderately aggressive ATV tires are suitable for those who are looking for more performance and traction from their ATV or UTV over their original equipment tires, yet do not want to give up ride quality.  Moderately aggressive tires start to exhibit a medium sized tread pattern as opposed to traditional "knobbies".  The tread design begins to be sparsely placed with sharp angles, which help to gain traction where there is little to be found and to shed mud and trail debris free through the tire's rotation.

The tread depths will also typically get deeper with larger tire diameters (Typically 26" tall and above).  These tires are most suitable for all terrain to muddy terrain, with some more specialized for snow or rocky conditions.  Moderately aggressive tires offer good grip in the mud while maintaining a good ride on the trails.  They are the most popular choice for those looking to upgrade tire performance and capabilities, yet maintaining overall ride quality.
