Bark River, MI recap August 15^th and August 16^th

Atturo traveled to Bark River, MI with both TORC: The Off Road Championship Series and with MORR, Midwest Off Road Racing Series for “Throwdown in the UP”. Atturo rolled away with a record setting weekend of 6 podium finishes! Atturo Sponsored drivers in the prolight series with TORC both had podium finishes!

In the MORR series Dale Chestnut with Double D Racing took first place on both Saturday and Sunday! Garritt Bancroft finished with a 2nd place on Saturday and Dan Baudoux with Dan Baudoux Motorsports took first place on Sunday!

Travis Dinsmore-43:

After a short turnaround from Sturgis our team worked hard and got the truck perfect. With a great setup right from the start we came out and qualified 1st by over half a second. With a 3 truck invert we started in the second row inside and held the second spot for most of the race before settling for third in the end. A penalty had us start at the rear of the field on Sunday with a lot of work to get to the front. After charging through the pack up to 7th we suffered a flat from a large rock mid  corner. The team worked hard all weekend and gave me a flawless truck and we came home with another podium to our credit. We're looking forward to returning to Crandon and are confident we will dominate the field.

Andrew Carlson-151:

151-Andrew Carlson visited Bark River for a trip with his family a few years back as spectators. Andrew had the vision there to one day race in the series. After a few years and creating a pro light truck and team Andrew revisited, only this time racing in the series. Rookie Andrew Carlson’s determination for the podium was apparent as he qualified and practiced among the top! After a rough first day in Bark River on Saturday,  the team regrouped and it was obvious as he hit the track on Sunday morning for practice he was ready to be among the top that day on the podium. At competition caution had made his way all the way to 5^th place! Andrew made his way up two spots finishing only 1.35 seconds behind Doug Mittag! Andrew raced in with a well-deserved 3^rd place and his first podium!

What an incredible weekend in Bark River for all our teams, stay tuned for “Keys to the Big House” in Crandon, WI on September 5^th and 6^th! For More information about Atturo Tires visit www.atturo.com.

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.

Travis Dinsmore at TORC: The Chicagoland Slam

Travis Dinsmore - 43 

Day 1:
Dinsmore was fast in the practice and qualifying rounds and was planning on the track condition to change in favor of his set up. However a last minute change due to dust the officials ripped up the track putting us at a disadvantage because of the tight lines. 

Day 2:
Dinsmore made a few changes in the practice round and made his truck work with the tight rough track. Dinsmore's setup was exactly where he needed it to be and he was a contender for the win. Unfortunately, due to a mechanical issue Dinsmore had to retire early.

We look forward to Crandon and know we now have the right set up for a win.

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.

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?

"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.)
