AKA, the current 1:8 buggy tire world champions, have announced a new tire just a little over a month before they begin their title defense.

However, as you will see, the new "Moto" tire is not likely to be a factor on the race-prepped circuit in Argentina this December. The tread is designed instead for blown-out tracks and rough terrain; perfect for finding traction in conditions where none is easily found.

AKA says the tire will be available November 1st.

Here is the official release:

The Moto tire has been designed to take on the roughest and toughest terrain that you can throw at your 1:8 buggy. The massive lugs, race proven carcass, and AKA's proprietary rubber compounds will ensure that your tires last while tearing up the dirt. As with all of AKA tires, these are designed and made in the USA. For more information go to www.raceaka.com/moto
