Dialed-RC V12 1:8 Buggy Tyre

Having entered the 1:8 Buggy Tyre market 1-year ago with 11 new patterns, Dialed-RC has announced the upcoming release of its twelfth tyre option called the V12. This Hybrid Bar/Pin tyre is a cross between a V9 and V10 and features continuous bar lines for maximum forward and side bite on clay and blue groove surfaces. This is intertwined with rectangle and round pins to add stability if there is any dust or fluff on the racing line. Designed to be used on any grooved track, both indoors and outdoors, when matched with the the US owned brand’s patent pending Cobra wheels and high density closed cell inserts, no gluing the inserts to the wheels is needed. The Version 12 tyre will be available in SS/S/MS/M/CSS compounds in both glued and unglued options exclusively from Dialed-RC starting in June.
