BFGoodrich Debuts Baja T/A KR2 UTV Tire at Baja 500

UTVUnderground is thrilled to bring you news of BFGoodrich Tires’ first foray into the UTV Market, the Baja T/A KR2 UTV. We have been lucky enough to check out this tire and do some testing with BFGoodrich and Jackson Motorsports Group and there is definitely reason to be excited.

Jackson Motorsports Group worked hand in hand with B.F. Goodrich to bring the hugely successful KR2 tire to the UTV market and it debuts this weekend at the 47th annual Bud-Light SCORE Baja 500 in Ensenada Mexico. Teams have been testing these tires hard over the past few months and the results have been outstanding.

The BFGoodrich Baja T/A KR2 UTV tires are engineered with race-proven CoreGard technology and designed to meet the specific performance demands of today’s high-performance UTVs. Mud-phobic side bars to release compacted mud and stone ejectors to clear out rock paired with a proven race winning tread design offer superior performance in soft dirt, enhanced traction in the mud, and improved braking in loose, rocky dirt. The KR2 is currently available in the 30×9.5×15 size, the size favored by serious desert racers.

“We have developed a winner in the KR2 desert race tire,” said Chris Baker, BFGoodrich Racing Director. “It’s become sought after in several classes from Trophy Trucks to Class 1 and Class 10. Our BFGoodrich race tire engineers have been able to design the tire so it meets various specifications while maintaining the toughness and performance needed in the desert. With the KR2 now available in the growing UTV race class, we continue charging forward with our goal of providing the best desert race tires to the broadest collection of racers. The KR2 is on its way to becoming the go-to race tire in the desert.”
