Coming from JConcepts is the new Teazers 1/8th buggy tyre. Packed with over 2000 individual pins, the Teazers use a multi-height and width pin system to incorporate the dense pin count. The square based, angular lugs alternate in height and width to connect with a track surface by allowing the taller pins to reach deep and contour with the terrain. The shorter pins stiffen the base, add surface area and provide increased longevity for long main events. The tyres are meant to excel on tracks with dusty, bumpy and sometimes wet and dry areas and alternating bars support sections of the tyre where more forward grip is desired while the half-height design of the bar still allows flexibility. The Teazers feature three inner radial ribs for expansion support with hefty sidewall thickness for the increased durability. The tyre is available in blue and green compound and it comes including grey closed cell inserts.
