JConcepts Diamond Bar 2.2″ 2WD front buggy tyres

JConcepts Diamond Bar 2.2" 2WD front buggy tyres

JConcepts introduce the Diamond Bar 2.2″ 2WD front buggy tyres. In slightly warm conditions, if a track has developed a groove, the Diamond Bars steer more in low and high-speed sections but do not react “on edge” or “dig” themselves into a corner. The close arrangement and low pin height react on the grippy surface providing speed and agility while the overall tyre size and blended pin/carcass smooth out the ride and initial turn-in attitude. The tyres are meant to excel outdoor or indoor where the track has taken on rubber and a groove has formed. Available in blue, green and red compounds including Dirt Tech closed cell inserts, the Diamond Bar carcass has been designed to work on either 2.2″ or 61mm/2.4″ wheels. The tyre comes ready to mount as 2.2″ or by trimming the bead; it’s an exact fit onto 61mm/2.4″ wheels.
