CHARLOTTE – (October 9, 2008) – General Tire’s assault on the off-road nation continued last weekend at the SNORE 250.  General-sponsored Mike Horner of the Synergy Racing Team finished second in Class 8, and Tyler Casoria won Class 7S, assuring himself a Class 7S SNORE points championship.





“General Tire continues to rack up the wins in our return to off-road competition,” said Travis Roffler, General Tire’s director of marketing.  “When we decided to re-enter off-road competition, we knew our Grabber tires could stand up to the competition.  But we underestimated how great they really are.  This has just been a phenomenal debut season for these tires, and for General Tire.”
 
General Tire has ‘unleashed the fury’ in off-road competitive performance with its Grabber competition tires as General Tire powers into off-road racing.

Designed with a tough, three-ply Duragen™-reinforced body construction to stand up to the rigors of off-road conditions, the Grabber also features a newly-developed competition-specific tread compound.  General Tire offers two distinct tread designs for different types of competitive conditions.   In addition, the Grabber name and General Tire logo are prominently featured on the sidewall in red and white letters.  The Grabber competition tires are designed in size 37x 12.50R17 for class 1, 7S, 7 unlimited, 8 and trophy truck.
 
Duragen is also built into General Tire’s Grabber HTS light truck tire, which launched earlier this year. Born from Baja, the Grabber HTS is built on the technology that went into engineering the company’s Grabber off-road competition tires, translated for the street.

General Tire is part of Continental Tire North America, Inc. (www.generaltire.com).  CTNA, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a company of Germany-based Continental AG.
