The Trail Blade A/T features large shoulder blocks for improved handling and steering response on road, a durable tread compound formulated for long life with deep sipes for all weather performance. This Trail Blade is constructed for truck owners who demand a strong tire with versatile traction capabilities. The A/T offers true off-road capability with natural highway convenience.

The Atturo AZ600 offers performance, style and comfort in all-seasons for SUV and Cross-Over vehicle owners.  The variable-pitch tread pattern is optimized for a smooth and quiet ride.  The serrated sidewall design complements the look of today’s stylish Cross-Over vehicles.

Atturo Motorsports Ends the TORC Series at Crandon Showdown

Crandon, WI is the epitome of pro-light racing with 60, 000 fans lined up along the hill watching one of the world’s biggest off-road racing tracks. There's no better venue for the final rounds of the TORC series for the 2015 season. Atturo Tires participated in the events throughout the weekend with the kick off on Friday in town at the parade. The Atturo suburban and Andrew Carlson’s Ford F-150 sported the Atturo Trail Blade X/T’s,  and Travis Dinsmore drove his pro-light with the Atturo Trail Blade M/T’s. Our Atturo Motorsports race teams went above and beyond this year, and we presented them with their own Atturo personalized TRAXXAS trucks for all of their hard WORK. We had Andrew and Travis race the trucks on the mini track and Andrew took the win with his mini 151 Prolight. Both Carlson and Dinsmore teams had great pro practice and qualifying and really showed during the final when Travis Dinsmore rolled away with another podium!

Travis Dinsmore-43:

Coming off of a win in the last series in Crandon, Travis Dinsmore was confident he could repeat the performance for the last 2 rounds. Right from the start Dinsmore set fastest lap in practice. Then went on to qualify 2nd, Starting in the #1 position. #43 Travis Dinsmore grabbed the hole slot and led every lap of the world championship race, showing once again they are a dominating force in Crandon.

Sunday’s race would have them start in P2 where in an incident on the start Dinsmore was caught up in a wreck forcing him to the pit for repairs. Starting from the rear he quickly made his way up to 5th by the mandatory caution and going for 3rd on the outside clipped the barrier tearing a corner off the truck ending our day. Travis Dinsmore ended his season with 5 TORC podiums and 2 Lucas Oil podiums exceeding everyone's expectations. Preparations for 2016 have already begun and according to Travis, “we will settle for nothing less than a championship”.

Andrew Carlson-151:

Big speed, big thrills for Carlson at the Big House. Andrew Carlson came from a podium finish in Bark River and had his eye at being at the front of the pack again. After testing at Crandon the week before, Carlson’s confidence was high coming into the event. Saturday morning practice saw Carlson setting a blistering pace, only to end the session early as he slid over the cushion on a high-speed corner and went into a horrific tumble off the track. The Carlson Motorsports crew worked all day to get the truck ready for the final. Because of the crash he was unable to finish qualifying so he started in the back of the pack in the Saturday final. He was able to battle his way up to 10th place. Sunday brought nearly perfect conditions for qualifying and Carlson capitalized with fast lap times and a start near the front of the pack. He showed speed early, working his way up to third place by the midway point of the race.

His lap times were nearly identical to the leaders and it appeared as though Carlson was going to earn his second podium spot. Then, with two laps to go, Carlson high-sided the cushion while battling with another driver for position and slipped over the berm. His podium chances ended abruptly. USAC official said post-race: “No question that he’s the rookie of the year.” “Remarkable performance for a first-year driver in the toughest pro class.”

“Our results at the last race are not what we had hoped for, but I couldn’t be more proud of Andrew and our crew on the remarkable job they did this season,” said Chris Carlson, team owner of Carlson Motorsports. “This has been an incredible learning experience, especially when I think back to how we jumped-in head first without any real experience. We will be prepared next season and we look forward to contending for the season point’s championship.” Andrew Carlson ended an amazing 2015 rookie season with being number 8 in points and 4 top 5 finishes!


Congratulations to Travis Dinsmore and Andrew Carlson on an incredible year. The Atturo Motorsports team ended the 2015 TORC season on an incredible note with 6 podiums!

ATTURO DRIVER COLE MAMER TAKES ON CARNAGE AT INAUGURAL LOORRS BAJA RACE ROUNDS 11&12

Atturo Driver Cole Mamer and his team were prepared as they could be as they went south of the American border and pulled into the new Lucas Oil Off Road Race Series course at Estero Beach. The new course was located just miles outside of Ensenada, Baja California.

LOORRS added in the new race course to this season race schedule and as many teams were nervous about taking the series to a new stop, Mamer Motorsports was excited for the change of pace, new fans and a new course on which to race the #35 Mamer Motorsports Pro-Lite.

It wasn't long before the trucks were on the course running down four practices just in one day. The course provided the drivers with nearly a mile long of door to door opportunities to attempt a pass. The key to this course was to stay out of the dust, keep clean through the turns and keep on the gas you went through the rhythm section.

 

When race day came Saturday, fans were lined at the gate waiting in anticipation to see a new form of off-road racing that hasn't been to Baja since 2002. The thrill of meeting new drivers, seeing crews work on the trucks and witnessing first hand the carnage that can go into short course racing had the fans on their feet all day.

The Pro-Lite race was the second race of the day and Mamer had to line up at the back of the stacked class after qualifying didn't go his way. This didn't stop Mamer though as that green flag dropped he immediately made 3 passes right out of turn one. When a wreck on the first lap brought out a full course yellow the trucks had to restart the race and Mamer had to go back to his original starting position.

The 15 trucks took on the restart and once again Mamer went for multiple passes and pulled it off, this time passing 4 trucks on the restart lap. This was great momentum for Mamer as he let the race come to him. A dusty course didn't distract the driver as he battled with Creed looking to take over the 6th place position. The 10 lap race was ticking down and once Creed crashed it moved Mamer up to that 6th place. He was on the tail of DeBerti as they were coming through the rhythm section when he found himself and DeBerti both getting sideways and with a quick reaction Mamer steered out of the way as DeBerti was spinning through the air and wrecking.

Even though Mamer managed to avoid a major accident, his truck didn't make it out alive as he fell to the back of the pack with broken front end of the truck. Mamer pushed through the rest of the race with a limp truck in 10th, but still was able to salvage some points.

Mamer rounded out the weekend with a 9th place finish in round 12 and will be heading to Reno, NV for rounds 13&14 sitting 10th in points. Reno will provide the racers with many elevation changes, high speed sections and one last chance to really fight for a higher points standing before they head into the final stretch of the season.

Atturo Tires: They'll Cut You Like A Knife!

One of the unique design and technology aspects to Atturo's Trailblade M/T and X/T tires are the knife blade motif.  It provides our tires with an aggressive look and lateral grip in dirt, sand and snow.

M/T 35x20 photo courtesy Sean B Coates via Facebook.

The unique design of the Trail Blade M/T is based on the cutting edge blades of the Mantis Knife Company. We partnered with Mantis to create something fresh in the LT tire segment. As the styling of the tire has become almost as important as the performance, we sought a unique blend of the two. The shoulder and corresponding sidewall tread blocks are based on the BK-1 Wicked blade, even including the contoured edges. The alternate sidewall lugs are from the Karambit blades. Mantis is making some of the most unique quality blades on the market. Where else can you put the same blade in your pocket and on your truck?

The innovative, new Atturo Trail Blade X/T offers rugged performance and amazing style in a new kind of all-terrain tire for owners of lifted vehicles and modified SUVs. Atturo now offers the aggressive sidewall style of our popular Trail Blade M/T combined with a tread designed for performance on the trail as well as on the road. Collaborating with Jared West of Quartermaster Knives, Atturo remains on the “cutting edge” of all-terrain style!

The Atturo XT - Arriving at Your Dealer Now!

"Designed in Texas, Built for the World"

• The center tread area is optimized for highway comfort and reduced road noise, but still deep enough for trail use.

• Each center tread block is linked at the base to ensure stability on road, and aid in clearing debris.

• Gently sloped edges of the shoulder flow into the sidewall like a rolling hill. On the road, it soothes with peaceful and confident turn in, without the abrupt breakaway of a more upright shoulder style.

• This line between the shoulder elements actually helps loosen compacted garbage from between the tread. No free riders!

• The alternating shoulder blocks are the shaped like the handle of the QTRMSTR QTR3 knife. Not only do they look cool, the wide tread spacing delivers a sure grip when you run out of pavement.

• The sleek and intimidating sidewall tread is the knife blade from the QTR3. (We put the same aggressive style on both sides of the tire - no sissy option available.)

Atturo Tire Profile: The AZ850

 The AZ850 is a performance tire designed for the modern SUV, Cross Over and Sport Truck to take advantage of the increased power and handling ability of these vehicles.   The Atturo AZ850 offers an affordable option to the overpriced original equipment tires found on many performance SUVs or other vehicles like the 2014 Honda Odyssey, the Land Rover LR2, and the BMW X5.

2014 Honda Odyssey

2014 Land Rover LR2

2014 BMW X5

The AZ850 is also available as a Run Flat model.  The RFT sizes are engineered to allow for up to 50 miles of driving at 50 MPH (80km at 80 KPH) with zero air pressure.   The AZ850 RFT also offers an enhanced safety option to those drivers who are looking for the security of a run flat tire, even if it was not original on their vehicle.

The unique compound and tread design of the AZ850 were specifically engineered for the contemporary performance utility vehicle.  The result is a rubber compound that helps reduce rolling resistance, which, in turn, allows the tire to run cooler at high speed.  High-tensile steel belts and jointless nylon bands increase stability at high speeds and provide secure braking, handling and durability. The AZ850 asymmetric tread design features different inside and outside tire contours to achieve optimum balance across the tread face.  This design evenly distributes the pressure of the contact surface to enhance comfort and handling.
