VP Pro 809 Blade Evo & 808 Gripz Evo tires

VP Pro have been busy the past several months working on an all new range of 1/8th off road belted tires. As engines become more powerful and gears get bigger, the cars are going much faster than before and so tires are becoming more important to transfer that power to the track. These new Evo tires are designed specifically for the Worlds track in Pattaya. The 809 Blade Evo and the 808 Gripz Evo both feature supporting insider ribs to strengthen the side wall of the tire providing less flex and faster cornering response. The main evo idea from VP Pro is the flexible belt technology, 21mm and 24mm respectively, which when accelerating keeps the tire flatter which means regardless of whether you are accelerating or cornering the tire will have maximum contact with the track surface and be more stable with less wear.

On the Blade Evo, the step square pins design sees the square top pins offer more forward traction, while the red and blue ribs will hold the pins tight which will make the tire stable under different track condition.
