JConcepts Ellipse 1/10th buggy tyre

JConcepts have introduced their new Ellipse 1/10th buggy tyre in Blue, Aqua and R2 compound. Named after the center bar built into the tread, the tyre is a compliment to successful tyres such as the Dirt Webs and Space Bars. The “Web” style tyre was built to compete on smooth high-grip indoor and outdoor surfaces which require a finely detailed connected bar pattern. The centre section of the tyre is a home run utilising a diamond “home plate” footprint to provide massive forward bite and increased longevity. The web of extensions are unique and have a directional touch giving the racer the ultimate tune-ability. The compound of choice for most indoor events, the exclusive gold compound, has shown to produce consistent results for racers week after week. Now, the Ellipse is also available in the groove condition favorites, blue, Aqua and R2 compound. Included in each package, the Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts known for their durable nature and gray color complete the race tuned package.
