TXR will sport new GOODYEAR shoes!
Since its inception TXR has been dressed with Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs. Goodyear has been a significant sponsor providing the best race tires available, and they are stepping it up! TXR has been anxiously awaiting the release of the new Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar! See Goodyear's
The new MT/R with Kevlar tire will be under the revised XterraRacer for the KC HiLiTES Midnight Special. Expect to see major updates to the X as it has been modified from a 3100 car to a 7S beast! The new tires, which have an improved sidewall (35% stronger for puncture resistance), are designed with an asymmetrical pattern and sidewall traction tread! This translates into more confidence, not that we have any doubts with the original MT/R, and will handle the latest upgrades without breaking a sweat. Upgrades include a new Bilstein suspension package, significant weight reduction and rebalancing of on-board components.
This new tire will be put to the test in the Nevada desert. Powered by Nissan powerfull vQ 4.0, the XterraRacer regularly hits speeds in excess of 110mph! Pounding rocks, gravel beds and hidden desert features this venture with Goodyear will redefine the best race tire available, DOT approved to boot. TXR is honored and ready to include this improved product on the X. THANK YOU GOODYEAR!
