GRP Micro & Cross 1/6th scale off-road tyres

GRP have introduced the new Micro and Cross 1/6th scale off-road tyres. Starting with the Micro tyre, the tread was designed for the use on clean or slightly dusty tracks with medium to high grip. Smaller sized blocks make for good traction and and an easy to drive car. The Cross was designed for sandy and dusty low to medium grip conditions with the tyre’s asymmetric design allowing to adjust the overall grip available. The tread offers additional outer ribs on one side – which is not visible in the above rendering – to increase side bite in loose track conditions. Both 180mm tyres are available in the dirt-specific S-series and sand/astroturf specific P-series compounds including inserts.
