Extreme Rock Crawling Championships
The Goodyear 2000 Extreme Rock Crawling Championship Series.
Goodyear Tire and Rubber makes a number of rugged tires in its MT/R line for this challenging sport.
What makes an off-road tire good? According to Goodyear's research with off-road enthusiasts, the two most important things are: not getting stuck and not getting a puncture. If you're going to get dirty in the wilderness, it better not be from having to fix a flat. To that end, they've developed the first all-new Wrangler MT/R (Maximum Traction/Reinforced) off-road tire in a decade.
In designing and engineering the new MT/R tires to excel in the most primitive of off-road conditions, Goodyear partnered with some of the brainiest scientists on the planet.
At Sandia National Labs, Goodyear borrowed time on the same supercomputers that have helped design key components of the U.S. nuclear arsenal to virtually model the real-time interaction of more than 25 different tire components as a tire rolls on and off the pavement. They also digitally modeled various candidate tread patterns, seeking the right balance of rock crawling grip with the ability to quickly flush mud out of the tire's deep grooves, without needing to travel to Moab or the Louisiana bayou to repeatedly test prototypes.
