AKA Zipps 1/8th buggy tyre

Coming soon from AKA is the Zipps 1/8th buggy tyre. Designed with durability and stability in mind for today’s high wear and high grip tracks, the Zipps features a very dense symmetrical block tread pattern with a centre staggered rib. The dense block pattern puts as much rubber on track as possible while still allowing dust to clear from the tyre patch.  This enables superior wear and stability while remaining controllable off line in the dust. The centre rib decreases rolling resistance on the straights and creates a very stable platform in the centre of the tyre. AKA have also updated the block design to allow for more deflection which allows the block to flex a bit more front to rear to gain forward bite while still remaining stable side to side. The tyre will be available in soft, super soft, long wear soft and long wear medium compounds.
