This is a pack of two AKA Racing "EVO" Typo Rear Buggy Tires, pre-mounted on yellow EVO rear wheels. The TYPO is a very low tread pattern that has been optimized for hard-packed indoor tracks. The carcass features the 1/8 scale EVO bead, combined with a refined tread profile.

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" Typo 2.4" Rear Buggy Pre-Mounted Tires (2) (Yellow) (Soft)
I picked these up as an experiment while trying to find a good tire for a hard-packed, dusty track where it was difficult to find traction, especially in corners. I knew that the tire was mostly designed for indoor clay tracks but figured the mini-pins would handle similarly to other small pin tires. (Holeshots and Double-Dees were the go-to for the fast guys.) Initially, the tires felt worse than most others with little side bite and and "squirrely" acceleration. But, after about 10 minutes they started to "break in" and hook up a bit better. I still prefer bar tires over these only for the additional side-bite but they proved to be excellent tires for my situation. I really like the fronts, but like this tread on the rear a little less. Weeks later our track was heavily sugared to add traction and cut down on the dust. The track became incredibly abrasive and these tires turned into slicks inside of 15 minutes. I plan on buying a clay compound and trying again to see if the harder compound will last a bit longer.
