#STITire&Wheel

With the goal of making the most versatile tire on the market, STI Tire & Wheel has released its new Outback tire line.

“That goal was scored with a model that provides the comfort and control of dedicated hardpack trail rubber, while still delivering the grip and cleanout capabilities of a deep, open-lugged bogger,” STI says in a release.

STI Tire & Wheel is the first aftermarket company to bolt tire and wheel products onto the new 2014 Yamaha Viking Side-by-Side.

Yamaha invited STI to its Cypress, Calif. headquarters and STI brought along a set of 28-inch Roctane XD tires mounted on HD2 wheels (4/110 bolt pattern, 5+2 offset – same as the Yamaha Rhino). The lug nut studs are 12mm so STI used its Lug Nut Part # LUG8, which is a 12mm x 1.25 tapered lug nut.

STI Tire & Wheels just introduced its new HD Beadlock wheels a few months ago. STI says the new ATV and UTV beadlocks have been a hit and is now offering a variety of ring colors to allow consumers to easily customize their wheels.

The HD Beadlock ring is available in six colors: black, red, blue, yellow orange and green. It’s now quick and easy to mix and match wheel finishes – take your choice of Bright Machined with Gloss Black accents, full Matte Black and STI’s exclusive, non-stick, gun metal gray Slik-Kote – with these optional ring colors for a full custom look. The ring colors from STI are intended to match most other bolt-on accessories. For custom builders who need an exact color match, STI still offers raw/unpainted rings as well.

Looking to provide its customers with more customization options, STI Tire & Wheel is offering new black finishes on its HD Alloy wheels.

STI’s HD2se wheel now sports a Gloss Black finish, joining its Matte Black/Machined and Gloss Black/Machined siblings in the HD2 inventory. This new Gloss Black HD2se is available in 12×7, 14×7 and 15×7 sizes. Like all HD2 wheels, it is protected by a lifetime structural warranty and comes with a new, matching, low profile center cap.

STI Tire & Wheel will be an official WORCS sponsor for 2013 and will also offer considerable support to its customers throughout the nine-round series, which begins January 25-27 at Canyon Raceway in Peoria, Ariz.

STI has posted a contingency program valued at $78,000 to be spread among all ATV and SxS class winners in all classes – from Beginners to Pros, Youth to Adult – competing with minis, UTVs and the entire range of quad classes. Use STI Tech 4 XCs, Black Diamonds, or new Roctane XD tires on the way to the top of the results sheet, and you will earn credits toward future STI product purchases.

As avid ATV and UTV enthusiasts, few things make us happier than sharing our love of the sport with likeminded people. The 2012 Eastern Sierra ATV & UTV Jamboree took place earlier this month and though we weren’t able to go, our friends at STI Tire & Wheel were kind enough to share some of their great photos from the event.

According to organizers, this is California’s only ATV and UTV jamboree and if you happen to be in the area it’s not to be missed. Check out the photos below the jump and see for yourself. Next Year’s Eastern Sierra ATV & UTV Jamboree is scheduled for June 11-15, 2013. Sign up now and experience the fun for yourself.

Though only its third year, the Rally on the Rocks is already one of the must-attend events of the year for off-road enthusiasts. Unfortunately, we were unable to enjoy the 2012 Rally on the Rocks, but our friends at STI Tire & Wheel were kind enough to share some of their great photos.

It looked like a great time was had by everybody and we can’t wait to experience it for ourselves next year.

Check out the rest of the photos below the jump.

The eight-round Dirt Series opens with over $65,000 worth of cash prizes and contingency awards. That includes STI Tire & Wheel, which has posted $2,500 in contingency dollars at every event. STI will also be providing trackside support through Triumph Motorsports. Visit Triumph’s Anthony Martin and crew for details on STI contingency and if you need tires, mounting or other race-related products and services.

The program includes ATVs, UTVs and dirt bikes. Practice is offered on Saturday as well as from 7-8:30 a.m. on Sunday; the first gate drops at 9:15 a.m.

STI Tire & Wheel has released its all-new Silverback-XLite tire, designed for riders who like to play in the mud.

“Mud enthusiasts around the country spoke, and we listened,” STI says in a release. “This new tire is based on one of the most successful mud tires of all time—the Gorilla Silverback—but the XLite is more accessible and useful to more riders.

The Silverback-XLite takes most of the features of the original Silverback and puts them in a lighter and more value-oriented package. According to STI, it still delivers maximum traction in deep mud from its distinctive, aggressive, widely spaced tread pattern, but with less bulk. The lugs range from 1.125 to 1.25 inches tall depending on tire size. STI stays this allows for smoother, more versatile performance when not slinging mud in your favorite bog. It’s easier on the machine, and when comparing costs, it’s also much easier on the budget with prices ranging from $99.95 to $176.95. This tire was rolled out at the recent High Lifter Mud Nationals in Texas and STI claims the tires were selling out as fast as they could be brought out.

STI Tire & Wheel has signed on to be an official sponsor of the 2012 WORCS program, but its involvement goes much farther than just hanging banners.

STI will be providing all ATV and SxS class racers with a generous contingency program beginning with Round 3 of the series in Lake Havasu City, Ariz.

“Use STI Black Diamond or Tech 4 XC tires on the way to the top of the results sheet, and you will be rewarded for your hard work,” STI says in a release.

Yamaha’s budget-friendly Grizzly 300 may not seem like a machine the aftermarket would get too excited about, but the folks at STI Tire & Wheel obviously feel differently.

STI has pre-mounted Black Diamond ATR tires (23x8R-12 in front, 23x10R-12 in back) to a set of 12×7 HD2 alloy wheels. STI says this combination—ready to bolt on and go—provides much more performance and style to the Grizzly 300. OEM dimensions are 22-inch tires on 10-inch wheels.

STI Tire & Wheel’s stylish HD Alloy wheel line has gotten longer with the introduction of the HD2se.

This HD2se (special edition) comes in two new finishes. One is a gloss black with bright machined accents, topped with a tough clear coat. The other is the HD2se iChrome, produced with four layers of an iridescent paint to give the wheel what STI call a “liquid chrome” appearance. According to STI, the iChrome subtly changes coloration and shading depending on lighting and viewing angle. Matching HD logo wheel caps are included with both of these wheels.
