New from Contact RC are these LMP12 Hex Tyres for the Eclipse 4 and other brands, using the new LMP12 hex lightweight spool set.

Flexibility has also been improved for more equal stiffness around the wheel. Truing these tyres is also easy with the wheel specific Contact RC truing arbour for hex rear and front wheels, while the tires are available in all the popular Contact compounds.
