GREENVILLE, S.C., July 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Radio-control
car enthusiasts have a new way to improve the performance of their
RC vehicles. BFGoodrich® Tires, a leader in off-road
tire development for the past 40 years, has partnered with Pro-Line
Racing, a leader in RC parts and accessories, to reimagine the
BFGoodrich® Mud-Terrain T/A® KM3 as a
fully-licensed RC vehicle tire.
The BFGoodrich® Mud-Terrain T/A® KM3,
released on June 1, is the
next-generation off-road tire for extreme conditions. It was the
first tire launched on the notorious Rubicon Trail in the Sierra
Nevada, rated one of the most difficult off-road trails in America.
Long known as the leading brand for hardcore off-road enthusiasts,
BFGoodrich has infused the new tire with technologies that improve
climbing, traction and toughness in mud and on rocks. Those
technologies have inspired the miniature KM3 RC tire.
Pro-Line Racing was given early access to the life-size
Mud-Terrain T/A® KM3 design specs to recreate the tire
for the small-scale rock-crawling community. The RC-version KM3
tires share the tread pattern and other technical attributes with
the full-size tires often seen on Jeeps, trucks, SUVs and UTVs. The
full-size and RC-size tires' aggressive tread lugs bite into loose
soil and feature increased traction for climbing both in mud and on
rocks.
The new RC tire also features deep, self-cleaning independent
tread blocks and linear transverse flex zones to provide grip for
the toughest obstacles RC vehicles face.
The BFGoodrich® Mud-Terrain T/A® KM3 RC
tires fit 1.9-inch RC crawler wheels and are 4.75-inches tall by
1.77-inches wide, with more sizes to come. They are made with
Pro-Line Racing's proprietary G8 rock-crawling compound, for a
balance of traction and wear resistance in RC applications.
"Launching both RC KM3 tires and KM3 tires for full-size
vehicles highlights BFGoodrich's long history of innovating
off-road tire technology. At any scale, the KM3 increases your
capability to pursue your passion," said Stephen Peters, brand director for BFGoodrich
North America.
