This is a set of two Pre-Mounted AKA I-Beam 1/8th scale off-road truck tires in Super Soft compound. The I-Beam features a dynamic tread pattern that will perform on just about any off-road track. The large center lugs are well suited for strong acceleration, and the position of the "I-Beam" outer portion of the tread alternates to deliver the ideal balance of acceleration and cornering performance.
The “Super Soft” or V compound as is noted in the part number is for
cooler conditions when the track is transitioning from wet to a drier
hard packed line that is not quite grooved in. Great for winter and
early spring racing conditions. Super Soft still retains the relative
long lasting wear characteristics that AKA is known for while providing
that extra measure of traction for the trickiest of surface conditions.
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!
