This is a set of two AKA Racing Grid Iron II 1/8 Buggy Tires. The first update
to the Grid Iron tire was the World Championship winning carcass borrowed from
the Impact tire. Then waffle ribbing was added to help control tire expansion
and the side pins have been angled for better performance on rougher tracks.
The tire is 5% lighter than the original improving acceleration and all-around
performance.
Features:
-
Red Insert (Soft):
The red insert is designed to soak up the big bumps with its fluted I.D.
while still holding its shape in the turns to increase corner speed and
consistency. -
Tread Performance:
Each tire tread is computer designed and track tested by AKA engineers Gil
Losi, Mark Pavidis and team drivers to ensure the best performance before
each tire goes into production. -
Lifespan:
The long life of the AKA tires is due to the collective decades of rubber
compound development Gil Losi brings to the table. In fact, Mark and Gil
have been responsible for developing some of the most successful tires in
off-road racing for a generation. Each compound is tested in labs then
rigorously track tested to ensure the highest quality. -
Balance:
Like AKA inserts and wheels, tire balance is critical to superior
performance and it’s a priority in AKA tires. Mold components are
manufactured to the highest tolerances to ensure the best possible alignment
of all the mold components. This results in a tire with more uniform
thickness for the best possible balance. -
Mold Accuracy:
AKA tire molds are made in the U.S.A. using the most advance mold-making
techniques and processes available. The cost is higher to produce such a
precision mold, but its part of an uncompromising desire to deliver the
highest quality product available.
