Hot Race Roma 1/8th buggy tyre

Italian company Hot Race Tyres has introduced the first in a line of new 1/8th buggy tyres. Called the Roma, the tyre sports a medium-size square block tread with specially shaped outer blocks while an inner mesh design makes for lower and more even tyre wear. The Roma is available in a supersoft, soft, medium and hard compound and despite the somewhat directional design it does not have a fixed rolling direction and can be used both ways around to adjust the overall traction.
