3 New Sizes for the Trail Blade X/T

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

More Exciting New Sizes From Atturo
Urban All Terrain Range Grows BIGGER

Atturo Tire continues the expansion of our SUV and Light Truck product range with the release of three new sizes in the popular Trail Blade X/T. The market continues to demand larger wheel diameter fitments targeted at SUV’s and non-lifted trucks. The Urban All Terrain ™ Trail Blade X/T is the perfect tire for these applications. The new sizes which are available now are: 275/45R22 112H XL; 305/45R22 118H XL; 285/40R24 112H XL.

The 275/45R22 has been used as an OE option tire size for vehicles such as the Ford F150, Dodge Durango and Toyota Tacoma. With the Trail Blade X/T, these vehicle owners will have a plus size option for an All-Terrain pattern with no suspension modification required. This size is also a perfect plus two application for the many vehicles which ride on the 275/55R20 as original equipment. (Over the past ten years, twenty-two different vehicles used the 275/55R20 as original equipment!)

The 305/45R22 and 285/40R24 are both popular sizes in the SUV and Light Truck segment for highway tread patterns. These sizes are each about 33” in diameter and carry higher load indexes than comparable floatation sizes making these more suitable for half-ton pickup and large SUV applications. Initial dealer and consumer response indicates a pent up demand for this style of tire in these sizes.

The Trail Blade X/T features the sidewall and shoulder tread of a Mud Terrain, which is again designed in partnership with Quarter Master Knives. The sidewall tread and first shoulder blocks are patterned after the QTR-3 knife blade and handle. Quarter Master has also created an Atturo themed model of this knife to complement the tire. The center tread is a highway friendly multi-block pattern, angled and featuring sipes to improve wet traction, handling response, and reduce road noise, while still retaining trail and light off road capability. Where the pavement ends, the Urban All Terrain ™ Trail Blade X/T will keep you moving!

These three sizes are available now from Atturo dealers nationwide.

Big Weekend for Atturo Drivers 43 and 151 at the Showdown in Charlotte!

Atturo Tires had an eventful weekend in Charlotte, NC - Nascar country! The temperatures were hot and the dust was stormy, but it didn’t slow the Atturo teams down. 

The Atturo tires really connected with the North Carolina red clay during the event. Friday night Travis Dinsmore raced in with a third place finish and Atturo’s third podium! Andrew Carlson was the fastest in practice on Saturday and Travis Dinsmore right behind being the second fastest.

We hosted a Drivers 101 and autograph session in our Atturo booth on Friday and Saturday. The fans had a chance to meet the drivers up close and learn a little bit more about the Pro Light racing in the TORC series.

 Since a picture is worth a thousand words: 

Carlson clearly demonstrated that he can run with the best on both day one and day two as he posted blustering fast lap times in his practice sessions. Carlson had the fastest laps in his groups on both days, which certainly provided confirmation that the rookie driver was making progress with his driving skills and that the CM crew had his truck dialed-in for the conditions. 

"Our team was confident going into Charlotte after just coming off of a win in Crandon. I felt I had a good setup and are continuously improving on the track. Friday night the truck felt good and was fast. But Luke and Doug were equally prepared and fast." - Travis Dinsmore

Qualifying and the feature events proved to be challenging for the driver and the team, as the Carlson Moto team attempted to adjust to wild fluctuations in track conditions from moist tacky traction-rich conditions to a dust-storm environment with ice-like blue grooved corners.

"I felt good taking the lead early leading quite a few laps but fell back after pushing too deep in the corner. After the restart my truck suffered a flat and loss of brakes from contact in the second turn ending our race." - Travis Dinsmore
