May 15, 2006 BFGoodrich® Tires Launches Mud-Terrain T/AKR Competition Tire for CORR Series CHULA VISTA, CALIF. BFGoodrich Tires is launching a new competition version of its highly popular Mud-Terrain T/A® off-road tire. The new Mud-Terrain T/AKR tire (size: 35x12/50R17) boasts an advanced tread design that is optimal for Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) competition and features the maximum tread width allowed (10.2 inches). The new tire will make its racing debut at the start of the CORR season May 20 - 21, 2006 in Chula Vista, Calif. One of the key attributes of the new Mud-Terrain T/AKR tire is its versatility, which will allow use on both the front and rear axles. The tire features a massive, performance-oriented tread pattern that is designed to be easily customizable depending on temperature, terrain conditions and each driver's needs. The competition tire includes BFGoodrich Tire's proprietary sidewall construction, which features three heavy-duty plies and an extremely capable, go-anywhere tread design. The tire also features tread design technology that gives it the ability to power through the most difficult terrain and conditions in the world and leave the competition literally eating its dust. "BFGoodrich Tires has been a partner in the CORR series since its inception and we have designed the Mud-Terrain T/AKR tires specifically for the intense conditions of the series," said Todd Steen, motorsports marketing manager for BFGoodrich Tires. "Even though we won more races in 2005 than all other tire manufacturers combined, our engineers continue develop new innovations and tread designs to optimize the performance of our tires in competition." BFGoodrich Tires will be partnering with several drivers to compete with the new tire, which will include the reigning Pro-2 champion Carl Renezeder, 2002 CORR Rookie of the Year Josh Baldwin and six-time CORR champion Scott Taylor. BFGoodrich Tires combines technological expertise with vast motorsports experience, delivering a high-performance tire for every type of vehicle from ultra-high performance tuner vehicles, sports cars and SUVs to the hottest sport trucks, pickups and rock-crawling rigs in the world. For more than 30 years, BFGoodrich Tires has used motorsports as a proving ground. Success on the street begins with winning on the track and BFGoodrich Tires is involved in every type of racing, including oval, sports car, drag, desert, rally (Dakar and WRC) and extreme rock-crawling. With 20 consecutive overall Baja 1000 wins, the most wins in rock-crawling history, and an unmatched record on pavement, BFGoodrich Tires has proven the only records it breaks are its own. |
