AKA has just released their all-new Impact and VEKTOR 1/10 scale tires. We first spotted these new tires at a local club race as AKA's Jared Tebo was doing some intensive testing with them. They proved to work well in testing for Tebo, and are quickly becoming a tire of choice for racers of all levels!
 
 
VEKTOR 2wd Front Tire
 
The VEKTOR tire features a low profile tread design which is ideal for hard packed indoor and outdoor tracks. It's directional tire design allows you to choose between mild or aggressive handling characteristics depending on which way you run the tire. The staggered center bars on the 4WD front provide extra forward bite regardless of the direction of the lugs. Last but not least the carcass design, lug size and lug spacing have been designed to balance tire wear vs. traction to deliver a great value to the racer.
 
 
 
Impact 2wd/4wd Buggy Rear Tire
 
The IMPACT tire features adense small square lug pattern with offset lug rows in the center of the tire to deliver maximum forward traction and good wear characteristics. The two outer rows of lugs are parallel to create a circumferential groove at the edge of the tire to give the tire very predicable side bite. This allows the car to rotate in the center of the turn while still feeling very stable and predictable entering and exiting the turn.
