IROK, another unique model of off-road tires from the Interco company. These tires are also called rock climbers.

In the creation of the IROK model, the developers of the Interco company have invested all their many years of experience. The result of this work is tires that have high cross-country ability in snow, mud and rocks.

Over the years, the IROK has established itself as the most versatile off-road tire. Sandy soils, carpet and peat bogs, snow, stones - all this is the element of IROK.

Despite their versatile qualities, most often IROK tires can be found on "charged" off-road vehicles that are designed for rock climbing (Jeep Trial).

The assortment of IROK tires is quite large, but mostly they are of large standard sizes. Again, Interco sees fit to produce three different IROK designs, bias, radial and competition tires.

As practice has shown, IROK rolls well on asphalt. At one of the All-world Festivals in Altai, one crew was seen, which in IROK drove about one thousand miles to the venue of the event one way. By the way, these guys were able then to take first place at the festival competition in the Trophy-Raid (it was one of the few crews that collected all the points in the swamp).

Interco IROK is ideal for: sports, extreme recreation, hunting and fishing, difficult expeditions, professional work, where you need to confidently drive a car in difficult off-road conditions (snow, mud, swamps, stones).

Again, it is worth noting that IROK is not critical to weather conditions and easily tolerates subzero temperatures. But, for the present, Interco IROK will be able to show all its advantages precisely on rocky terrain (where it was made for).

About company

The post-war years, thanks to the unsaturation of the market, served as the impetus for the founding of many American companies. This includes the Interco Tire Corporation.

  • Founded in 1947 in Louisiana.
  • At first, the main activity of the company was the retail sale of car tires.
  • It first established itself as a tire manufacturer only in 1968, when it launched the first model of its tires for pickup trucks and light trucks. Thus, he founded the 78 series of tires.
  • Is the only privately-owned company in the tire industry with wholly-owned shares.
  • Holds a leading position in the development and production of tires for pickups and SUVs not only in the United States but also in the world.
  • In addition, Interco produces a whole series of tires for extreme moto and jeepers, as well as for various agricultural machinery.
  • The imprint of the Super Swamper tread pattern can be found not only on off-road tracks all over the world but also on T-shirts and T-shirts of fans and professionals of many famous off-road athletes. This drawing has become an unspoken symbol among extreme car enthusiasts all over the planet.

Overall, the tread pattern of these tires is not beyond reason. Because the most "Off-road" lovers of mud, clay, swamps ride on IROK-BIASs - this is kind of "overkill".

  • About 80% of all sporting off-road vehicles are equipped with this brand of tires.

Tire features

At the first accidental glance of a professional at Interco IROK-BIAS, it immediately becomes clear to him that this tire is definitely not for the city. It was created by the manufacturer as a professional sports rubber for off-road tracks.

The exterior design of this tire should be given credit. He's pretty aggressive.

Tread

Thanks to this arrangement, the tread allows you to easily overcome swampy areas and get out of almost any track. In addition, this arrangement of the tread elements provides a high level of self-cleaning of the tire.

The sides are reinforced with several layers of cord. The tire material is elastic. Due to this, even with a high degree of inclination of the surface, the contact area of ​​the tire with the road remains maximum.

Off-road tests

During the races, Interco IROK-BIAS was in the lead on almost all off-road surfaces. Slightly inferior to competitors when driving on large wet rocks along the river. Sometimes I had to steer.

At the same time, it is not at all for driving on asphalt. It is very noisy and after ten kilometers of such a path, it is almost impossible to balance it.

In the swamp

Good on all off-road, but especially loves moisture. Through the swamp "rushing like a tank" and climbs out of any hole. The only thing missing is the shoulder lugs. And therefore it can slide a little. We have to "pull" the steering wheel a little to the side.

A heavy tire and so "aggressive" that at high revs it can break even a reinforced suspension.

As one fan of this rubber said that for the wedding anniversary he would buy a diamond ring for his wife and “diamond” tires for himself. He meant Interco IROK-BIAS.
