Both tyres come in a unique rubber compound for high grip and exceptional durability and they are pre-glued to newly developed spoke rims that are a direct fit on the Traxxas Revo series trucks. The tyres offer a diameter of 147mm and a width of 80mm and they come on black, silver, bronze or black chrome rims.
