AKA have announced for the iHobby show the addition of a ‘Super Soft’ compound to their line up of tires. The ‘Super Soft’ or V compound as is noted in the part number is for cooler conditions when the track is transitioning from wet to a drier hard packed line that is not quite grooved in. Great for winter and early spring racing conditions the Super Soft still retains the relative long lasting wear characteristics that AKA is known for while providing that extra measure of traction for the trickiest of surface conditions. This new compound is available in all tread patterns for both buggy and truggy.

MRP, makers of the GRP tire range have sent us details on their full range of buggy tires. Most you have seen before, but new from the Italian company is the Endurance (first from left, click to make bigger). This is a very rounded tire with very big and low pins, ideal on flat, clean and very blue groove surfaces. It has a plain structure which makes it very smooth and fast on high grip tracks, where with traditional tires, the car tends to roll over easily, making driving very difficult. Its very long life pins makes it an unbeatable tire for all finals, also on high wear tracks. Also suitable for use on asphalt such as on road tracks or car parks. As with all the tires they are available in a variety of compounds, with a variety of inserts.
These tires along with the complete range of GRP products are available now at their new online shop.
