JConcepts Knobs & Launch Monster Truck tires

JConcepts introduce two new offerings for the monster truck class with the release of their new Knobs & Launch tires. The Knobs, simply named for their appearance of the irregular diamond shaped knobs which have step and overlapping features built in. JConcepts believes tire options in the class should replicate those used in major series events in the 1:1 world and the Knobs certainly do. The arrangement, pattern, and instances were a result of carving from an existing 1:1 tire and the results were fantastic. The Knobs excel in dirt or asphalt conditions where massive edging of the pins helps forward drive and side-bite. Replicated cuts helped turn the carcass into a low-profile tire giving it a racing stance like other successful JConcepts tires such as the Renegade. Both tires includes ‘React’ open cell inserts which support the upper carcass and sidewall under loaded conditions.
