JConcepts has introduced the Smoothie 2 stadium truck tyre. Ooccasionally outdoor clay surfaces become so tacky or free of dust and debris that a total slick tire is an advantage. For years drivers have sanded, ground, and hand sculpted tires in search of that elusive slick carcass, now, JConcepts has the Smoothie 2. Released as a 2.2” bead mounting diameter, the Smoothie 2 mount straight to the latest generation of stadium truck wheels for that all important reactive feel. After analysing the dynamics of stadium truck racing, JConcepts took a new approach. The design team minimised the overall diameter to improve slick track driving characteristics while maintaining stadium truck legality. The carefully profiled slightly thickened tire carcass rolls through the turns with efficiency while the maximum smooth surface area grips the specialty surfaces like no other. The Smoothies include Dirt-Tech inserts which have made an immediate presence on the racing scene since their release. The identifiable gray colour with custom sculpted features, are blended in to the insert material which provide racers a durable option capable of being used in medium to extremely high-traction conditions.
