X-Grip distributors Mikimodel have introduced new pre-trued foam tyres for 190mm electric touring cars. The tyres come in a single front and a single rear compound that offer exceptional durability and make for an easy to drive car. The wheel diameter is identical to rubber tyre rims and the tyres come pre-trued to a diameter of 64mm, meaning they are usable directly and without the need to true or sand them down.

JConcepts have introduced their new Sprinter 2.2” buggy tyres that were designed to bridge a gap between the popular Double Dees and other pin tyre options from JConcepts. The tread features square, angled pins that are stacked vertically to flex and fold evenly across the tyre. Typically, a stacked tread will wear less and provide more forward bite while the aligned space helps rotation in the turns and gives a snappy release to square up quickly. Starting with the new tread, the team focused on durability and performance to bring a rear tyre option to market that competes on loose surfaces which are wet or dusty. With the popularity of dirt-oval racing, vehicles being designed with either mid-motor or laydown transmission options, a new generation pin style, carcass and outer tread design was needed.
PHUB have introduced their all-new Hyper Grip tyre compound especially developed for large scale on-road racing. Improving grip and tyre life the tyre sauce will be applied ten minutes before warming and left on for a warming period of about 30 minutes. The results are improved lap times and consistency. The traction compound comes in 100ml bottles and it is available now.

Available now from Pro-Line are their new Badlands MX pre-mounted buggy tyres in M2 compound. Pro-Line Badlands tyres are known for having sweet Motocross inspired tread and the all-new Badlands MX tyres kick that up a notch with a Bigger and Bolder knobby tread that matches modern MX tyre design. The Badlands MX is a true all-terrain tyre that will find traction on any surface but is best suited for loose and loamy dirt, mud or grass. The tyre is available as pair, in the hard-wearing M2 rubber compound and mounted on white or black Velocity wheels.

Volante have announced the release of new rubber compound variations for their popular 1/10th scale formula tyres. The front tyres will become available in a new yellow dot soft compound, the softest front tyre yet, making it a total of five different soft to hard compounds for the front. The rears will see the addition of the new white dot Revolution soft compound which is understood to be the softest available, ranging under the hyper soft double pink rubber. All come as pairs, pre-glued on large diameter black multi-spoke rims.

Pro-Line have announced the release of their all-new Decimator 2.6” solid axle monster truck tyre. The Decimator is made from Pro-Line’s M3 race rubber and features a smaller overall size for more agile performance on dirt or carpet. Similar to full-size monster truck tyres the Decimator tread is made up of alternating deep-grooved chevron-style tread pattern for exceptional forward traction while maintaining a scale appearance. The overall size and width of the tyre has been finely tuned to be even more lightweight and agile than the Pro-Line Devastator 2.6” tyre, which makes it ideal for racing applications. The Decimator includes soft white foam inserts for ultra-plush landings, greatly improving the handling and performance of any solid axle monster truck.

Pro-Line’s popular Pyramid and Prism 2.0 2.2” 1/10th scale carpet and astro turf rear tyres are now also available pre-mounted on white Velocity rims. The Pyramid features hundreds of large pyramid shaped pins with the knife edge pointed front to back and side to side for maximum grip that stay sharp even as they wear down. The carcass shape has been optimised for the demands of Astro racing, which is slightly smaller and narrow than standard dirt tires for improved agility.
JConcepts have announced the release of their SCT Octagons tyres in the Aqua A2 compound. Developed for high-bite, slick tyre racing, the beauty of the Octagons lay just beneath the surface where the designers have removed a little surface area in the geometry based pattern. The carcass is new, slightly rounder and lower profile than JConcepts slick tyres of the past and it incorporates heavy X-pattern style inner ribbing for increased support. The continuous thickness carcass is light-weight and utilises the industry standard 3.0” x 2.2” mounting bead. Like the name suggests, the embossed tread which is Octagon shaped is repeated and overlapped to form a subculture of grippy surface edges for dry or abrasive surfaces. The package includes the Dirt-Tech inserts for best possible sidewall and thread support.
