This is a pack of two AKA Racing "EVO" Deja Vu Rear Buggy Tires, pre-mounted on yellow EVO rear wheels. The 1:10 EVO Deja Vu is a "bar" tire developed to excel on both indoor clay and hard packed outdoor tracks. The carcass features the 1/8 scale EVO style bead, combined with a taller tread pattern to cut through dust with ease, providing a longer wearing tire that is ideal for abrasive tracks.

Features:

  • EVO Bead: The EVO bead design uses an 1/8 scale style L-shaped bead mount. This allows the user to glue the tire to the wheel more effectively, creating a much stronger glue bond. 
  • EVO Wheel: The EVO wheel has been redesigned to be stronger and stiffer. The EVO wheel features pre-punched vent holes in the wheel, combined with the L-shape bead that makes tire mounting much easier by giving you a wider and easily accessible gluing surface to ensure a strong bond between the tire and wheel.
  • 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.
  • 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.

AKA "EVO" Deja Vu 2.4" Rear Buggy Pre-Mounted Tires (2) (Yellow) (Super Soft)
For those who aren't aware this is an exact copy of the old Team Losi BK Bar. When held side-by-side with the BK Bar it's obvious that it is a complete copy, and given that Gil Losi is making tires again at AKA it's obvious why it's called the "Deja Vu".

The tire has great forward bite and the bars along the side give it very stable side-bite. My only complaint is that on my heavily sugared track the tires wore incredibly quickly. Granted, I did buy the "super soft" and probably should have gone with a harder compound, but I still would have expected more than about 30 minutes of time before they completely turned to slicks.

Otherwise it's a great deal for a pre-mounted tire and wheel. The glue bead is strong and the wheel matches the same color as the standard yellow TLR wheel. It definitely beats buying tires for $18 and wheels for $6 when you can buy these pre-mounts for less money. Plus you don't have to glue them yourself and end up gluing your fingers to the tires!
