JConcepts Double Dees V2 tire

JConcepts have introduced their new Double Dees V2 tire, which is perfect for a variety of track surfaces. Wear is always the trade off when going to a small pin tire and with the Double Dees V2, these worries are a thing of the past as running qualifiers and main events on the same high performance tire is now possible. The Double Dees design uses unique technology combined with the sticky yellow and blue compound to allow the flexibility necessary to compete on even the most demanding surfaces for an extended period of time. Tires including inserts will be treated to the latest generation in profiled, closed cell, insert design, while unique materials, bright blue color and revolved relief provide extra full support and stability. Double Dees excel on indoor and outdoor hard packed surfaces with either dry or wet conditions.
