This is a set of two Pre-Mounted AKA City Block 1/8th scale off-road buggy tires in Medium 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!
