Overview
The ITP Sand Star 20×11-9 is an ATV tire from ITP, part number ITPITP605L, designed for open sand. The title lists its size as 20×11-9: a tire width of 11 and a 9-inch rim diameter. ITP marks it Universal Fit with a Color Graphic sidewall.
Built around a light carcass and a special rubber compound, this tire targets loose sand, where flotation, flex and cornering grip all matter. It suits riders who spend most of their time on open dunes.
Key features
- Designed for open sand dunes
- Color Graphic sidewall rather than solid black
- Bright yellow Sand Star logo and molded ITP logos
- Lightweight carcass with a special rubber compound
Choosing a sand tire width
Width on a sand tire affects how much surface the machine rests on. A wider section spreads weight over loose sand and can help the ATV stay level when crossing dune faces, but it also adds steering effort and can rub against fenders at full lock. The right width depends on how the machine is used and what clearance it has.
Confirm the 9-inch rim before buying, since a mismatch between wheel and tire can cause poor sealing and unstable handling. Lower pressure may suit soft sand, though it increases the risk of the bead unseating on hard turns. Inspect the sidewall after each ride for cuts and abrasion from sharp grains and stumps.
- Measure wheel diameter before ordering
- Check fender clearance at full steering lock
- Clean and inspect beads before mounting
- Replace tires with exposed cords or deep cuts

Vehicle fitment
No ATV models are named for this tire. The Universal Fit marking means the 9-inch rim diameter and 11 tire width are the measurements that count when matching it to a wheel.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering. Measure your wheel to confirm it is 9 inches in diameter.
Installation notes
Check the wheel diameter first, since this tire is sized for a 9-inch rim and will not suit a wheel of another size. Take care on your first few rides, while you are still learning how this width handles in sand.
