This is a set of two AKA Grid Iron 1/8th scale off-road Truggy tires in Soft compound. The Grid Iron is a bit different featuring a low-profile
tread with small, staggered square spikes arranged symmetrically across
and around the tire, long, staggered center lugs add forward bite, and
increase tread life. The Grid Iron is best suited to hard-packed and
clay surfaces.
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.
Even the packaging for AKA tires is competition ready.
The bags your tires come in are resealable bags, with a spot on the
back for recording data on that set of tires. Things like tire
compound, whether you are using them on the from or rear, type of
insert, what type of wheel you have them mounted on, and even a set of
check boxes to help keep track of how many runs you have on the tires.
