JConcepts SCT Landmines 2.2 x 3.0″ tires

Continuing to expand their Landmines lineup, JConcepts have created an all-new 2.2” x 3.0” performance all-terrain SCT tire. The Landmines, developed over a 2-year period of testing, tuning and analysis have reached the summit and now available to the SCT enthusiast. The design starts with a robust carcass carefully shaped and sized for a multitude of conditions and capable of driving over a variety of terrain while being down-to-earth enough to carry a scale appearance. The team spent considerable time with the split-block centre design which has been sliced, stepped, and recessed for flexibility and contortion over sharp, loose, and polished surfaces. The Landmines have alternating solid and cavity pads which is ideal for transitioning from smooth dirt or pavement into dirt, mud, and rocky terrain. Moving toward the edges of the carcass, the SCT tire has horizontal grippy pads with edge and channels to provide additional forward climbing bite.
