PMT Tires To Sponsor Mini Cup by Motul
PMT Set To Be Spec Tire For New Class
IRVINE, CA (May 15, 2020) – MotoAmerica is pleased to announce that PMT Tires will be the official spec tire for the new Mini Cup by Motul class for 2020, thus further leveling the playing field for the young racers taking part in the series.
The new three-round Mini Cup by Motul Series, aimed at youth racers aged six to 14, gives a solid platform for youngsters to break into the road racing scene. The series is set to begin at the second round of the MotoAmerica Series at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, June 26-28.
The Mini Cup by Motul Series will use Ohvale GP-0 motorcycles along with Italian GP-0, PMT Tires. These tires have been developed specifically for the Ohvale motorcycle and they have proven to enhance the handling of the bike with maximum grip.
The PMT is a long-running company that started in 1990 and is based on a pure passion for racing. Nowadays its production span covers several different tire types, such as the very small tires for R/C cars, the 6.50-inch for Minimoto and Escooter, the 10-and 12-inch tires.
Steeped in Italian heritage, PMT produces its tire line in-house, offering compounds for every condition. PMT boast victories in international competition in all categories, thanks to a product developed from experience, continuous research, investment and a lot of passion. PMT tires are distributed on five continents and have a loyal customer base worldwide.
PMT Tires will be available at all of the Mini Cup rounds in 2020 with tires (both slicks and rain tires) for sale on a first-come-first-serve basis in limited numbers through www.risemoto.com. It is highly recommended that competitors order tires in advance and come to the races prepared. Rise Moto will also be facilitating a tire fitting service for all MotoAmerica Mini Cup by Motul events.
“We’re thrilled to have PMT on board as the spec tire for the new Mini Cup by Motul class,” said MotoAmerica’s Lance Bryson. “Having a spec tire is a key to helping us maintain competitive parity in our races and PMT’s tires are of the highest quality. Having good grip is one of the keys to producing better racers and we are looking forward to getting the Mini Cup by Motul Series rolling.”
