Mark Pavidis and Jared Tebo have teamed up to design AKA's first 1/10 electric buggy tire, dubbed the REBAR. The REBAR has been developed for indoor tracks, as well as hard packed, bluegrooved outdoor tracks.

The REBAR features double side rails on the edges of the tire that provide additional sidewall support, increasing side bite so your buggy stays planted in the turns. The wide staggered center lugs give the REBAR incredible forward traction to hook up the power and launch your buggy out of the corners and over jumps.

Features:

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, ensuring the best possible alignment of all the mold components. This results in a tire with more uniform thickness for the best possible balance.

We first saw Tebo running these at the Cactus Classic earlier this year, and will be available to the public in early June!
