Artists Gregory Siff and 2wenty will collaborate on an art installation combining photography with live painting on a modified Subaru BRZ.  Gregory Siff is an artist that paints in a purposeful yet playful manner, his work exhibits meaning that is literal and open for interpretation of nostalgia and childhood.  His work has been featured in publications including the New York Times, Architectural Digest, and The Wall Street Journal along with various locations such as Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Moscow Museum of Modern Art, and Google HQ.  Additionally, he has worked with brands including Mercedes Benz, Helmut Lung, and adidas.  2wenty is a mix media artist and photographer that is known for using light as a central theme to his work.  He has worked with brands that include Arc’teryx and Stance, while his work has been featured at Art Basel, Forbes, and WIRED magazine.

On display at Treadpass will be the Open Country^® R/T Trail, an all-new on- and off-road rugged terrain tire that delivers better off-road grip than a traditional all-terrain tire, most evident in sand, mud, and deep snow. It is a hybrid tire that is positioned between the M/T and A/T product categories and fills a role in between the popular Open Country R/T and best-selling Open Country A/T III. The tire will be produced in 47 unique size and load combinations for 16- to 24-inch wheel diameters and up to a 38-inch overall diameter. The most popular sizes will start to be available in November with additional sizes/fitments to follow in subsequent months.
