Toyo Tires the Official Tyre of Stadium Super Trucks for 2015.
This is the third season that Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp has supported the series, and the second year that all Stadium Super Truck (SST) entrants will compete on Toyo Open Country A/T II tyres.
Toyo Open Country tyres are known for their traction, durability and uniformity – all critical to the performance of the 600-plus horsepower SST trucks.
The race series was founded by Team Toyo off-road champion and former NASCAR and IndyCar driver, Robby Gordon. A field of identically prepared SST trucks tackle a serpentine race course with ramp jumps that can launch them six metres in the air. Intense action, combined with speeds as high as 200km/h, keep spectators on the edges of their seats.
“Toyo Tires continues to be a great partner for Stadium Super Trucks and our entire off-road racing program,” said SST founder and president Robby Gordon.
“We will continue to create authentic product testimonials for them whether we race on dirt or asphalt. With all the variables in racing, one thing that doesn’t concern us is the reliability of our Toyo Tires which are on every SST truck.”
Last weekend, drivers competed in front of IndyCar fans during the Streets of St Petersburg race in St Petersburg, Florida U.S.A. The 2015 season got underway earlier this month at the Clipsal 500 race weekend in Adelaide.
The series garnered immediate acceptance and overwhelming popularity of the trucks by Australian race fans.
José Angeles, Toyo Tyre & Rubber Australia marketing manager, says the Open Country A/T II is the ideal tyre for the demanding SST racing series.
“Nothing says durability like a race grid full of trucks jumping, sliding and pounding their way around tight circuits, door to door,” he said.
“Crowds can’t get enough of this new and exciting form of racing, which is extremely hard on tyres, making it the ideal showcase for the toughness of our Open Country A/T II tyre.
“Race after race, they are proving themselves to be virtually unbreakable.”
In addition to the series sponsorship, six races will also feature a Toyo Tires-branded SST truck with a Team Toyo Off-Road driver at the wheel.
