    Travis Coyne to Run on Toyo® Open Country M/T® Tires in SCORE-International and CORR Racing
     
    April 9, 2008 – Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. announces the company has signed Travis Coyne as the newest member of Team Toyo™ Off-Road. Coyne competes in both SCORE-International with a Trophy Truck, and CORR (Championship Off-Road Racing™) with a Pro 4™ class racing truck. Both desert and short course #5 Pro Comp Suspension/KMC Wheels/Monster Energy/Toyo Tires™ Ford trucks now run on Toyo® Open Country M/T®-R tires, the same tire that won the 2006 Baja 1000.

    At 28-years old, Coyne is one of the young guns of off-road truck racing, finishing the 2007 season in the top five for both CORR Pro 4 and SCORE Trophy Truck points championships.

    "I am excited to be a part of Team Toyo and can't wait to kick-off the 2008 season," said Coyne. "Toyo Open Country M/T tires have a great reputation in off-road racing."


     
    "Travis will be a great asset to Team Toyo," commented Stan Chen, manager of events and motorsports, Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. "He has the determination and talent to join other Team Toyo drivers on the podium using our Open Country M/T tires."

    The Open Country M/T is available in sizes from 33- to 40-inches in diameter for rims from 15- to 24-inches. It features hook-shaped tread blocks, scalloped shoulder blocks and a high performance cap ply construction for excellent off road traction. A three-ply casing delivers superior handling both on and off-road while adding to the life of the tire. CASPAN™ (Computer-Aided Simulator for Pattern Noise) technology, results in the Open Country M/T being one of the quietest mud terrain tires on the market.
