JConcepts Siren 2.2″ 4WD Front Buggy Tyre

JConcepts has released its Siren carpet and astroturf 1:10 Offroad tyre as a front for 4WD Buggy. Racing on artificial surfaces requires a lot of stability, steering, and forward-bite and the design team went to work to substantially improve performance for deep nested turf or carpet surfaces. The new 4WD front tyre brings a new larger and taller sized 3D blended pin-size, pin-separation, and a lightweight and incredibly low-profile carcass. The semi-circle protrusions, unique to the Lockness, Nessi, and now the Siren are included in the centre section of the tire and on the sidewall area. These details are important, and the low semi-circles improves side-bite but also minimize grip-rolling instances associated with normal pins. The pink compound represents a new compound for JConcepts, a medium soft material with good wear characteristics. The front tires include open cell inserts making them a complete set ready to mount, straight out of the package.
