JConcepts Metrix 8th buggy tyre

JConcepts introduce the Metrix 1/8th buggy tyre that deputed during the 2012 IFMAR World Championships and won the 2013 Dirt Nitro Challenge. Utilising a stacked centre tread, with aspects carried over from the Crossbow tyre the Metrix is designed to give great forward bite on dusty and loose conditions while the directional outer lugs smoothly transition over rough terrain for an easy to drive feeling. The staggered and directional Bar Code inspired sidewall treatment offers a less agressive initial steering response but a balanced feel for more driver confidence on rutted, bumpy and wavy deteriorating track sections. Available in medium yellow, medium soft red, soft blue, super soft green and mega soft black compounds and including lightweight and durable profiled closed cell inserts. Also available are pre-mounted green compound tyres.

Sweep Cubix 1/8th buggy tyre – details

Following a first teaser last week Sweep now officially introduce their forthcoming Cubix 1/8th buggy tyre. Designed to combine the best features of the Star Trek and Square Armor tyres the new offering is meant to provide great tread wear and traction. The size of the pins is chosen to cope with the enormous power of today’s .21 engines and brushless motors while the pin flexibility makes the tread ideal for rough surface tracks. The Cubix builds on the same carcass as Sweep’s Micro Contacts and Double Action and the tyre comes in sets of four with various options available.
