JConcepts Space Bars 4WD front buggy tyre

JConcepts have completed their range of Space Bars 1/10th buggy tyres with the introduction of a 4WD variant. The 2.2″ tyre is designed for the popular indoor track conditions where the surface is mostly built of clay soil. The tread, originally based on the Dirt Webs tyre design, connects uniformly positioned Space Bars to create a stable tyre whose design relies heavily on a larger format of the original Web pattern for great forward acceleration. Inside the supported bar portion rest long horizontal and short vertical alternating bars which help balance side-bite and they back up the Space Bar feature to help minimise wear. The outer edges feature a tiny single rib on each side which proves extra side-bite during heavy cornering and side-loading characteristics. The Space Bar tread sits on a rounder profile carcass with a shorter side-wall which transitions quickly and lands and jumps with increased traction. The plump look of the wide-body tyre grips hard and also gives a sense of comfort for the aggressive driver. The inner ribbing has been updated to keep the tyre expansion to a minimum while still providing a healthy dose of flexibility to the tyre, allowing a greater balance of forward traction and side-bite. The tyre is available in Gold compound and including Dirt Tech closed cell inserts.
