JConcepts Swaggoo 2WD Buggy Front tyre

JConcepts has introduced a new 2WD Buggy Tyre called the Swaggoo which features a multitude of heights and angular ribs for corner speed, consistency and straight-line tracking ability. The Swagger, a popular tyre in the US brands line-up was used as inspiration for the new Swaggoo. A new low-profile carcass matches the height of popular tires such as the Fuzz Bite and Pin Swag front tyres from JConcepts. This reactive concept with new staggered wedges with added teeth and notched large lugs works together to create corner speed. The Swaggoo has shown to produce ultra-fast lap times while also being easier to drive than other options on the market. A great tyre for the spec events such as the popular independent, 21.5, and 17.5 buggy classes. A unique feature on the Swaggoo is the scalloped tyre bead which removes a lot of weight from a normally beefy area. The tips of the bead touch off on the inner beads on the wheel which lead to a great alignment but now with reduced un-sprung weight.
