This is a pair of two AKA Racing Wishbone 2 Wide Short Course Tires, with included AKA Red Closed Cell Inserts. The tread design of the original Wishbone tire featured a low profile tread pattern to keep lug squirm to a minimum on high bite surfaces. The Wishbone 2 grows on this design featuring an even denser tread pattern for more traction and longer tire wear making it ideal for indoor smooth tracks. The Wishbone 2 tire also features a bigger footprint to create more traction while staying in spec with the 2.2/3.0 short course tire specifications.

AKA short course inserts feature an asymmetrical core to add additional support to the outer sidewall of short course tires. These have been designed to fit perfectly into the updated wider short course tire line but will fit other short course tires as well.

Features:

  • Red Insert (Soft): The red insert is designed to soak up the big bumps with its fluted inner diameter 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 Wishbone 2 Wide Short Course Tires (2) (Super Soft)
This tire compares to the Proline ION, but lasts much longer and avoids rounding/ballooning like the ION. I ran these for the first time in a money race at our local track on my Tekno SCT410 winning the race and earning TQ. My lap times were the fastest I've ever run. This is a great 4wd SC tire in my opinion because it doesn't provide too much side bite (causes traction roll-over), but provides enough to allow the 4wd SC to rotate/pivot through the turn as it should. Both the Proline Ion and the Wishbone 2 are great tires, but I would recommend running this tire on 4wd SC platforms over the ION. I prefer the ION on 2wd SC platforms like the 22SCT.
