Having recently released the Gripz Evo tire for 1/8th buggy, VP-Pro have now brought this thread pattern to Short Course. The mini square pin tyre works on nearly every track surface, from damp or muddy loam to dry and dusty hard-packed blue groove. The light weight tyre excels especially in qualifying when speed and agility is the main target with the small and evenly spaced lugs allowing to cut through dust, clean out in wet conditions, and skim over bumps and ruts without causing traction rolling like larger pin tyres. The tyre is available in M2, M3 & M4 rubber compounds and come pre mounted on black, white or yellow rims.

The lightweight and compact design mounts with double-sided tape or use the included transponder mounting bracket, depending on your desired configuration.
