Tensor Tire has officially released the 37” DSR competition-level “Desert Series Race” tire. After rigorous field testing and analysis, the new Tensor Tire has proven its competitive advantage in the recent 2021 NORRA Mexican 1000 as well as a Baja 1000 Class 7 victory in 2020. Rhys Millen, in his RMR built four-wheel-drive “Jackal” buggy took the overall win (in the former) using Tensor’s new 37″ DSR competition race tire. The NORRA Mexican 1000 is a five-day rally through the deserts of Baja California with multiple stages per day covering more than 1,000 miles. The event is a huge undertaking and among the most historic ones in all of desert racing.

The RMR Jackal is a versatile platform that could be outfitted with different engine configurations to run in multiple divisions depending on what the driver wants. The single thing that does not change is the 37″ DSR Tensor Tires. This Jackal platform was designed for and built around this specific tire in a collaborative development program between RMR and Tensor Tire. During the NORRA 1000, Millen suffered zero failures, with the tires performing beyond their expectations.
Millen commented on the performance of the Tensor DSR 37-inch tires saying, “I won the Baja 1000 last year in Class 7, zero flats. We just finished the San Felipe 250, zero flats. So, the tire has a weight factor balanced with this lightweight vehicle is an amazing combination.”
Tensor Tire congratulates Rhys Millen for this big victory and recognizes the proven performance of the lightweight RMR Jackal Buggy combined with their incredible 37” Desert Series Competition Race Tire. Find out more about it in the video clip below.
Tensor’s DSR Tires already own a championship-winning track record. Like its 33″ and 35″ counterparts, the 37″ DSR has a lightweight, rigid bias-ply construction with durable ribbed sidewalls and shoulders for reinforced puncture resistance. Made in the USA and developed specifically for competition and race applications, the new DSR tire is appropriately sized with decreased weight to unleash all the horsepower from your machine for the best performance possible.
Weighing only 50 pounds, Tensor’s 37″ DSR measures 10 inches wide and is available for both 15″ or 17″ wheels. For example, a 37″ Tensor tire paired with a 15″ Method Race wheel can weigh as little as 70 pounds, and is approximately 50 percent lighter than a comparable 37″ race wheel/tire package.
The 37″ DSR is a purpose-built racing tire designed primarily for race-specific buggies and pre-runners. Tensor DSR Tires offer race-proven performance at a larger size for those who demand the very best and nothing less.
