JConcepts Carvers Racing tires

JConcepts have announced the release of these ‘Carvers’, a 1/10th truck front tire perfect for a variety of track surfaces. The sharp angular and directional ribs provide the ultimate in control and direction on the most common dry and wet condition surfaces, while the compact tire body combined with the JConcepts firm foam inserts allow for precise steering input and response for very consistent lap times. In new condition they excel on low traction surfaces as well as high “loamy” traction wet surfaces where no rubber has been taken into the racing surface. Worn versions excel on indoor or outdoor clay tracks where a light blue groove has formed. Available in sticky soft Blue compound and include firm foam inserts.

In a statement from the company, JConcepts welcomed JR’s wealth of ability, skill, and knowledge to the team with open arms and they feel that JR will make a great addition to the growing lineup of World level drivers, and will promote their product effectively on and off the track.

I would like to take this opportunity to announce my departure from Pro-Line. I’ve worked together with Pro-Line promoting and running their products for just over 10 years. It’s a difficult move but I’m looking forward to my new venture with JConcepts. Thank you to Todd, Scott and Jessica for their support over the years. I greatly appreciate all that you have done.
