AKA Short Course Enduro & Wishbone tires

Having brought you CAD images of the new Short Course tires from AKA back in March, the US company have released photos of the final product together with full details. The Enduro is made specifically for the 2.2 – 3.0 inch wheels that are common on all Short Course trucks. The Enduro was designed with larger lugs that have been cut in various angles to provide you with great tread life but also give the lugs enough flex to give you the bite you need on a variety of different track conditions. The SC Wishbone is the first specific indoor or hard packed tire for Short Course racing. The Wishbones center bars and smaller pins gives the tire a huge advantage on hard pack or indoor conditions giving the truck more forward and side bite. All of AKA SC tires feature a unique inner carcass ribbing that supports the outer sidewall to the wheel and also captures the foam. This gives the tire a consistent feel across the width of the tire.
