ITP WINS SAN FELIPE
250 ON BAJACROSS TIRES
The San Felipe 250-winning ITP entry at
speed in northern Baja. |
Chalk up another one for ITP’s BajaCross
tires. This time it was the 24th SCORE San
Felipe 250 in northern Baja, Mexico, as drivers
Bob Viau Sr. and Chris Koch piloted the
ITP-backed, DragonFire Racing-prepped Kawasaki
Teryx to a decisive Sportsman UTV class victory.
The Minnesota-based duo used BajaCross tires
mounted to ITP T-9 Pro Mod wheels fitted with T7
Beadlock rings to complete the course in just
under nine hours, at an average speed of 27.9
mph. Their margin of victory was almost a half
hour. It was a nearly flawless effort under
perfect racing conditions. The only issue the
team experienced the whole day was being nerfed
from behind by a bigger race vehicle in a deep
silt bed, which knocked off the spare tire and
jack. Luckily they didn’t need it, as the tires
and wheels went the distance with no problem
(just like they did on the way to winning the
most recent Baja 1000).
The BajaCross
is ITP’s most rugged tire ever, built to handle
the toughest and heaviest UTV applications. It
performs impressively in a wide variety of
terrain conditions on 4x4 and utility ATVs as
well as UTVs. An 8-ply rating and 25% stronger
construction has resulted in a high level of
durability. Our extended-life rubber compound
and innovative overlapping tread pattern
provides a smooth, predictable ride as well as
slow wear characteristics — this is the
highest-mileage tire ITP has ever produced!
Stepped lugs provide consistent tread edges as
the tire wears, for predictable performance
throughout the long life of the tire. Wraparound
lugs provide improved shoulder protection, while
a super deep Rim Guard feature offers the best
wheel lip protection in the business. Despite
its strength, the BajaCross’s advanced carcass
design delivers the most comfortable,
trail-compliant ride available.
The ITP BajaCross now comes in six sizes: 25x8R-12,
25x10R-12, 26x9R-12, 26x11R-12, 26x10R-14 and
26x11R-14.
Since 1982,
ITP has grown into the world's #1 ATV/UTV
aftermarket tire and wheel source, and continues
to provide a complete line of innovative tires
and wheels for virtually all ATVs and UTVs. For
