JConcepts Triple Dees 1/8th truck tyre

JConcepts have introduced their new Triple Dees 1/8th truck tyre. Based off of the iconic Double Dees design the tread was developed for loose and tacky track conditions that require small pin designs. Starting with finely spaced square mini lugs, the JConcepts design team spent considerable time proofing this design. Centre bar structure is important for wear characteristics and an overlapping and blended centre bar was created. The bar draws up the side of the pin to maintain all important support but the main stance is low so the tyre maintains its clean-out ability during acceleration. The main-stay of the design is the angled and sharp pins which spread across the carcass in an open pattern touching off the track surface like no other. Near the side-wall the pins have been trimmed and angled to give racers a smooth driving experience as they enter and exit tacky turns or slightly rough terrain. Available in grippy compounds such as blue, green and long-wear R2 the new tyres are packaged in reusable packaging for freshness and convenience and they come including grey Dirt-Tech inserts.
