“We are excited to continue our partnership with JGRMX/Toyota/Yamaha Team,” said Pirelli North

American Off-Road Manager, Josh Whitmire. “Working with a first class team and organization like Joe

Gibbs Racing will allow us to continue the success of the Scorpion SX family of tyres in the USA.”

Davi Millsaps echoed Whitmire’s sentiments: “Pirelli has been working really hard to develop for us the

best possible tyres. 2012 is going to be a great season.”

Whitmire continued, “Pirelli has won 56 World Championships to date, making us a leader in off-road tyres worldwide.” This legacy of success has led to an expertise in engineering and optimum tyres to support the JGRMX/Toyota/Yamaha Team at each of the 17 rounds next season.
