ITP UltraCross R Spec Tires Carry Currie To Victory
Proven 8-Ply Tire Conquers The King of the Hammers Course, Again
Clinton, Tenn., Feb. 13, 2015 – Cody Currie, 28, recently finished second overall and won the Amateur (Sportsman) class at the 2015 King of the Hammers UTV race using ITP UltraCross R Spec tires on his No. 22 Monster Energy / Walker Evans Racing / ITP / Long Travel Kawasaki Teryx. In fact, this is the third consecutive KOH event the Orange, Calif., based racer used the same set of UltraCross tires to compete at the desert and rock-crawling competition at Means Dry Lake in Landers, Calif.
Currie and co-driver Trad Fondeldt competed with roughly 50 other side-by-side vehicle pilots at KOH this year. However, Currie was one of just five total finishers in two classes to complete the ultra rugged, two-lap course, which featured challenging sections with names like Crowbar, Chocolate Thunder, Jackhammer, Aftershock and Clawhammer. Currie not only masterfully won the Amateur class in a time of 7:27:04, but also took second overall, besting all but one Pro class driver along the way.
The UltraCross R Spec 30-inch tire continues to prove itself in the most extreme terrain imaginable, from the demanding Baja 1000 to the rock-laden KOH. Along with being available in 10 sizes, the 8-ply ITP side-by-side tire offers radial construction, a versatile tread pattern and exceptional wear and puncture resistance.
