Jan. 3, 2020, Italy – Never change a winning team. That is why BKT and Feld Motor Sports, the promotor of the Monster Jam show made in the U.S., have decided to extend their partnership till 2026.
The agreement undersigned in 2014, on the basis of which BKT has been Official and Exclusive Tire Manufacturer for all the 100 Monster Trucks and all the shows all around the world, was about terminating in 2020. No longer – thanks to the extraordinary results of both parties. A “monstrous” increase in brand awareness for BKT and its tire that is unique in its kind resistant, safe, exclusive and highly performing for Monster Jam.
“We are really glad to continue this path with Monster Jam,” said Arvind Poddar, chairman and managing director of BKT. “The show’s visibility sustains BKT’s effort in terms of growth at a global level. It has actually proven to resound extraordinarily, and our special BKT Monster Jam Tire has become a true hero. We have been able to concretely demonstrate our skills and knowhow in the Off-Highway tire segment – even for such extreme applications.”
“BKT and Monster Jam have co-operated in the project to engineer a purpose-built tire for the Monster Trucks, which from a technological point of view is the most advanced ever,” said Bill Easterly, vice president fleet operations of Monster Jam. “BKT has spared no efforts to ensure our drivers’ safety promoting at the same time the entertainment value by Monster Jam.”
This is how the BKT Monster Jam Tire came into being: a 66-inch tire featuring excellent stability that thanks to a particular shoulder design enabling to bounce back at the moment of the impact and to regain immediately stability even after landing from 10 metres height. The tire has a hard and robust sidewall in order to avoid cuts and tears, whereas a special lug design provides extraordinary traction.
