Two beautiful, high performing vehicles-- a 2013 Ford Focus ST and 2000 Jeep TJ -- will showcase GT Radial tires at popular automotive enthusiast events in 2014.
GT Radial high performance and light truck tires will be showcased at a number of high-profile automotive enthusiasts events in 2014 on two very eye-catching, highly-customized vehicles -- a 2013 Ford Focus ST and 2000 Jeep TJ.
The 2013 Ford Focus ST, which made its debut in the Ford booth at the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Show Nov. 3-8 in Vegas, is ready for Targa Trophy road rallies and the Southern California sun. Its makeover is courtesy of fuelculture www.fuelculture.com who teamed up with Infinite Auto Design to give this car a custom harness bar, carbon fiber exterior pieces and a custom paint job from Axalta. The additional horsepower under the hood comes from a number of modifications from Banks Power, COBB Tuning and Ford Racing.
This very special Focus ST rides on 19-inch Rotiform wheels wrapped in GT Radial Champiro HPY tires (size 235/35ZR19 91Y XL). The ultra-high performance Champiro HPY uses an advanced asymmetrical tread pattern and full silica tread compound for outstanding cornering ability in wet and dry conditions.
The Focus ST will be competing in all four Targa Trophy events in 2014 and will participate with fuelculture at several popular Southern California auto events, including the LA Auto Show and Fabulous Fords.

The Adventuro M/T max traction tire for light trucks and SUVs features the most aggressive tread pattern in the GT Radial family; perfect for conquering rough, harsh terrain in dirt, mud or snow.
The GT Radial-fitted Jeep will make appearances at several Jeep enthusiast events in 2014 including the Jeep Jamboree in Parker, AZ, (April) and the Big Bear Jeep Jamboree (May) in Big Bear, CA. It will also be featured in a fuelculture video and blog detailing every step of the build.
