JConcepts Orange compound Bar Codes

JConcepts Orange compound Bar Codes

Introduced back in February, JConcepts have now released Orange compound versions of their Bar Code design off road tires. Like the name suggests the alternating bar design provides uncompromising support for blue and black groove conditions. Designed for maximum performance when new or used as the design allows even wear all the way down to the tire body. Bar Codes in new condition excel on hard surfaces that have taken rubber with either dry or wet grooved conditions. Worn Bar Codes excel on indoor or outdoor clay tracks where a minimal dust groove has formed. Available for 2wd and 4wd buggies as well as 1/10th scale trucks.
