ARMAT by Alba Racing DR RIPPERS by Alba Racing 22x11-9 6Ply Tires (SET OF 2 REARS)

ARMAT DR Ripper tires by Alba Racing

Here at Alba Racing we spent MONTHS working with multiple BAJA Pro and Amature Teams devolving the newer DR (Desert Race) Rippers. Thousands of miles of tire testing happened during the 2023 BAJA 1000. Team ISH pre ran 500+ miles and finished the 1300 mile race on a SINGLE SET OF TIRES! This includes over 100 miles of highway riding! After the race the same set of tires went on to race (and win) a 120 mile D38 race the following weekend!

About the tires!

New tire design for a lighter carcass. (Rears 19.3 LBS)

The rear lugs have a 45 degree ramp/shovel on one side and a flat edge on the other. This helps the lug clear the mud and take a fresh "bite" every rotation. The rears also have an aggressive side lug for lateral traction in the corners and ruts. When the tire is pushed onto the sidewall, the side lugs are engaged and they help push you through the corner or rut.

Wheels are NOT included

Tire size Rear - 22x11x9 6 Ply (22" Tall x 11" Wide x NEEDS 9" Diameter wheel)

Features:
-6 Ply construction (Extremely durable)
These tires are brutally tough, from SCORE pros to desert warriors these tires will get you to the finish line! They have a double reinforced steel bead and 6 ply construction on both the sidewall and contact patch. Don't let a thin tire ruin your race or weekend!

-Radial Design
Radial tires have a significant advantage over cheap bias ply tires. They have a softer overall ride due to the layout of the tire's plies and the additional flex of the sidewalls. This gives you a more stable contact patch with the track and a softer ride with less vibration. They also have less rolling resistance/drag.

-ARMAT Signature T104 Compound
Our signature T104 rubber compound is soft enough for any XC condition but also designed to last all season! We hate changing tires every round!

-Rear "H" Lugs w/ mud shovels
The rear lugs have our proprietary H lugs with "Mud Shovels". The 45 degree edge of the lug helps release the mud every rotation allowing the sharp 90 degree edge to take a fresh bite!

-Side traction lugs on both front and rear
Both tires have side lugs that give you traction where other tires do not! In ruts and corners you are often running on the sidewall, why would you not want max traction??
