CST Apache tires proved their quality once again when Ryan Piplic raced to the UTV Pro podium at the Progressive King of the Hammers Desert Challenge Powered by Optima Batteries (KOH) Desert Challenge. Piplic earned third place in the grueling event.
After a 33-mile qualifying prologue, Piplic jockeyed for the UTV Pro lead throughout the main race, which consisted of one 33-mile loop and two 85-mile loops. Despite harsh conditions, he finished in 4:51:52.481, third in the class and 14th for the day among all seven classes in the race.
Steel-belted with a radial design for flexibility without punctures, CST Apache tires are well-suited to the demands of KOH, with outstanding grip and cornering.
KOH week continues through February 5 with live streaming and a premium live feed available for fans around the world.
