Traxxas Kumho Road Venture MT tires

New from Traxxas, the race-winning Kumho Road Venture MT tires are the latest competition-proven treads to be captured in 1/10 scale. The distinctive design is realistically molded in their versatile standard compound and S1 compound for even greater off-road traction and cornering grip. The Road Venture MT’s unique, aggressive sidewall detail and raised lettering are perfectly rendered for realistic looks and authentic performance. These tires are standard equipment on the latest Scott Douglas/Mike Oberg Edition Slash and Slash 4X4, and are also available in unmounted pairs with foam inserts, or as mounted pairs. Mounted tires are available in front and rear offsets for Slash, while the Slash 4X4 uses ‘rear offset’ Slash wheels as both front and rear wheels.
