Jetko J-ONE 1:8 Truggy Race Tyre

Tyre manufacturer Jetko has released the 1:8 Truggy version of its J-One tyre.  Originally released as a buggy tyre at the beginning of  2024, the J-One is engineered for maximum traction and stability in high-performance 1:8 Truggy racing.  Its tread features tightly packed, stretched hexagonal pins that create a large, consistent contact patch for exceptional forward drive and corner speed on high-grip surfaces.  The reinforced layout provides strong side bite and predictable handling under heavy Truggy loads.  Flexible belt technology minimises tyre growth at high speeds, improving stability and consistency throughout a run.  Jetko recommend the tyre for smooth, hard-packed, blue-groove, and carpet tracks.
