This is a set of two AKA Pre-Mounted City Block 1/8th scale off-road buggy tires in Soft compound. The City Block tire is designed for hard to medium-packed surfaces. The two-stage tread features square mini-pins on top of rectangular blocks. The square mini pins are designed for superior grip on a hard-packed, high-traction racing surface. The rectangular blocks underneath the mini pins provide greater tread depth, which is also makes this versatile tire ideal for those times when you drift into the loose dirt.
The AKA tires include lightweight, long-lasting contoured foam inserts for a more balanced tire and wheel assembly, which will deliver noticeable performance gains over heavy, out of balance inserts. Reducing rotating, unsprung weight in the tire, insert and wheel produces the biggest performance gains over any other weight reduction.
Designing competition-worthy wheels is a black art, and there’s no two people more practiced in the art than Mark Pavidis and Gil Losi, Jr. The knowledge of both is poured into the design of the AKA wheels for the ultimate balance of durability and flex for maximum performance. Both buggy and truck versions of the AKA wheels (available in white and yellow) feature a larger diameter, which reduces sidewall flex to keep more tread on the racing surface for crisp acceleration and steering response.
Pre-mounted AKA tires use the same tires, wheels and inserts that are available separately. That means you can expect to get the same great performance and all you have to do is install them on your vehicle. The tires will be bonded with the highest-quality CA adhesive available to ensure long–lasting adhesion, giving you the peace of mind that your tires will stay glued to the wheels so you can focus on winning!

AKA Cityblock 1/8 Buggy Pre-Mounted Tires (Soft) (White) (2)
I use these on the front of my buggy because of how well they stick to the track. The City Blocks have great bite all around, and due to the high amount of side-bite they make excellent fronts. However, I found out that putting these all around on my buggy (with my setup) dramatically increase the amount of over-steer in corners at high speeds. (like coming off the straight and into a turn) I think these work best when used as front tires paired with I-Beams in the rear.
