Hot Race Tyres Hagberg Edition Red Dot 1/12th tyre

Hot Race Tyres from Italy have introduced their new Hagberg Edition Red Dot 1/12th scale foam tyre. Developed in cooperation with IFMAR World and multi-time EFRA European Champion, Alexander Hagberg, the tyre will excel especially on ETS carpet due to being made of a more closed cell foam compared to the regular Hagberg Edition tyres. The new Red Dot compound will provide increased grip and it already showed its performance by allowing Alex to bring home the 2020 EFRA 1/12th scale European Championship title. The tyres come pre-trued and mounted to white 6-spoke rims.
