Huntington Beach, CA - Aug 1, 2024 - Performance tiremaker Moto Race Tire (MRT), www.MRT.Tires, had a successful weekend at the 2024 SxS 12 Hour Endurance Race at the Famous Reading Outdoors in Pottsville, Pennsylvania July 28th, 2024 claiming 8 podium wins including a complete podium sweep in the 12 Hour Pro class.
Considered the world’s toughest 12 hour race, the 10.1 mile race course of the SxS 12 Hour persistently eliminated race teams as machines endured extreme abuse of the rough, rocky sections. An ultimate testament to performance and strength, MRT Tires would prove worthy as the dominate tire to podium in multiple classes.
Mark McCleeray and the Turn’d up Racing team took the overall win in the 12 Hour Pro class running MRT Desert Storm™ tires, a popular go to for off-road racing. "We put these tires through a lot, and they keep us going every time!” states McCleeray.
Tyler Gibbs passed the finish line in the first position with the fastest lap, however after a penalty was applied his team would podium 2nd. Gibbs racing with the all-new MRT Sonora DS™ for the first time and tells us he loves it. “This is the only tire I’m running moving forward,” said Gibbs.
The all-new MRT Sonora DS™ is the toughest UTV tire ever made presenting groundbreaking construction and a revolutionary design. The Sonora DS™ features a 6x Kevlar construction wrapped bead to bead, fortified with D-Fence Sidewall Protection and APEX FORCE Bead Pinch Protection. In addition to the MRT Backed 1 Year Side Wall Warranty, its strength combined with a performance designed tread pattern sets a new bar for innovation in off-road tire performance.
Eric Westover would wrap up the Pro class podium in the 3rd position. Westover running MRT X-Rox DD™ tires would showcase MRT’s consistency in strength amongst a variety of performance tire options.
MRT continued to dominate with two podiums in the 12 Hour Sportsman class, Kevin McLamb taking 1st on MRT Desert Storm™ tires and Thomas Robinson in the 3rd position running MRT X-Rox DD™ tires.
Aaden Gilbert took 1st in the 6 Hour Open followed by Patrick Edwards in 2nd, both running MRT X-Rox DD™ tires. Gilbert who took 3rd in class at this year’s King of the Hammers and is currently 1st in points in the Youth 1000 class in the Ultra4 series tells us the course was bumpy and tough, but fun. “My tires worked great,” Gilbert says. “We've had these tires all season, this is the 4th race I’ve ran with them, and they still look fine!”
Wrapping up the MRT Racing Team podiums was Xander Walraven in the Youth 170 70-minute Expedition. Walraven took 1st place on Muscle Race Wheels’ Youth Wheel; specifically designed for youth racing.
