1/8 EVO Gridiron Soft Tires, Red Inserts (2): Truggy

Overview

The GRIDIRON tire is designed for tracks that are hard packed and or tracks with little dust. This tire design is a great outdoor or indoor alternative. The square outer pins and bar center pins allow for great traction and long tire life compared to other small pin tires. The EVO version of the GRIDIRON has been revised with more tread density for better performance and wear characteristics. The new EVO Truggy tires feature the new ROAR legal 1:8 Truggy bead design and a redesigned carcass shape that includes internal ribbing.? The new bead design mimics the 1:8 buggy bead design which will make for easier assembly and a stronger bond between the wheel and the tire.? The carcass shape has been refined to take advantage of the new bead design.? Internal ribbing has been added to minimize tire growth at high RPM and support the tire contact patch during cornering.? All this adds up to much improved handling and lower lap times. ?

Features

Balance: Like AKA inserts and wheels, tire balance is critical to superior performance and it''s a priority in AKA tires. Mold components are manufactured to the highest tolerances to ensure the best possible alignment of all the mold components. This results in a tire with more uniform thickness for the best possible balance. ,Lifespan: The long life of the AKA tires is due to the collective decades of rubber compound development Gil Losi brings to the table. In fact, Gil has been responsible for developing some of the most successful tires in off-road racing for a generation. Each compound is tested in labs then rigorously track tested to ensure the highest quality. ,Mold Accuracy: AKA tire molds are made in the U.S.A. using the most advance mold-making techniques and processes available. The cost is higher to produce such a precision mold, but its part of an uncompromising desire to deliver the highest quality product available. ,Tread Performance - Each tire tread is computer designed and track tested by AKA engineer Gil Losi and team drivers to ensure the best performance before each tire goes into production.,
