JConcepts Bro Codes 1/10th buggy rear tires

Having featured the Bro Codes tire earlier in the week, JConcepts have today released the new tire. At first glance, Bros can be easily mistaken for the popular Bar Code but the details reveal a major difference. Introducing the first tire born as a Broken-in tread geared toward the finely tuned racer. Broken-in lugs on the leading edge of the entire tread form a finely knit pattern of newly formed low-profile features. On prepared, wet clay surfaces there is a tremendous advantage to starting off on the right tire, tread height, wear and compound. Like the name suggests the Bro (Broken-in) alternating bar design combined with the addition of the Y side bars provide uncompromised support for many conditions. Available in soft (blue), super soft (green) and clay indoor soft (gold).

JConcepts Bro Codes tire & medium rounded insert

During the 2012 JConcepts Fall Indoor Nationals JConcepts showed us their new 2WD rear buggy tire called the Bro Codes. Specially designed for indoor clay tracks, the tire tread looks like the one used on the version 1 Bar Codes tires but it features a lower tread height and an angle on the leading side of the pins for added contact patch and traction. This makes it a directional tire and does away with the need to break the rubber in, speeding up preparation time. JConcepts also have a new medium density rounded rear closed cell insert for 1/10th buggy with an updated shape that gives the tires a rounder profile for better side bite.
