This is a pair of two AKA Racing Cityblock 2 Wide Short Course Tires, with included AKA Asymmetrical Red Closed Cell Inserts. These updated Cityblock 2 tires are very similar to the original but with the addition of the lugs being opened up a bit to allow the tire tread to dig in deeper while still retaining superior wear characteristics. These tires also feature the updated carcass which provides a bigger footprint creating more traction while still remaining within the 2.2/3.0 short course specifications. 

AKA short course inserts feature an asymmetrical core to add additional support to the outer sidewall of short course tires. These have been designed to fit perfectly into the updated wider short course tire line but will fit other short course tires as well.

Features:

  • Tread Performance: Each tire tread is computer designed and track tested by AKA engineers Gil Losi, Mark Pavidis and team drivers to ensure the best performance before each tire goes into production.
  • Lifespan: The long life of the AKA tires is due to the collective decades of rubber compound development Gil Losi brings to the table. In fact, Mark and Gil have been responsible for developing some of the most successful tires in off-road racing for a generation. Each compound is tested in labs then rigorously track tested to ensure the highest quality.
  • Balance: Like AKA inserts and wheels, tire balance is critical to superior performance and it's a priority in AKA tires. Mold components are manufactured to the highest tolerances to ensure the best possible alignment of all the mold components. This results in a tire with more uniform thickness for the best possible balance.
  • Mold Accuracy: AKA tire molds are made in the U.S.A. using the most advance mold-making techniques and processes available. The cost is higher to produce such a precision mold, but its part of an uncompromising desire to deliver the highest quality product available.
  • Assembly Quality: AKA Pre-Mounts are all hand assembled using AKA Premium tire glue and are double checked for adhesion quality. There is no doubt AKA has the best pre-mounts in the industry.
  • Red Insert (Soft): The red insert is designed to soak up the big bumps with its fluted I.D. while still holding its shape in the turns to increase corner speed and consistency.

AKA Cityblock 2 Wide Short Course Tires (2) (Soft)
I just got these today in the mail. I'll update this later after I race with them. First off, compared to the City Block 1, these tires are taller and look totally different. This design is much better than the original tire. The lug spacing is much better, and actually gives the tire some chance of cleaning out. The shoulder is more square, and it looks more aggressive. These look like they will work on a wider variety of tracks (not wet clay), but outdoors, especially out west in hard sandy dirt these will shine. I'll post more thoughts after they break in and I get a few races on them. Stay tuned.
