Press Release From JConcepts:

A jumbo tire from JConcepts hit the market with the release of the Big Cheese for monster trucks. Named after Tom Hitchcock, a well-known track owner in central Florida, the Big Cheese has almost too many styling, interesting concepts, and details to list. Simply put, the new tire has just about every feature used on all existing tires rolled into one. The difficult task was first envisioned during concept drawings and when computer aided models were merged over the top of each other and mirrored.

After countless hours of detailing out the new design, the Big Cheese appeared in a waffle like picture but positioned for all-terrain grip. The tire is built on similar carcasses to popular tires like the Golden Years, Firestorms, and Fling Kings. JConcepts design team took the carcass and added the hand cutting details as used in the racing generation of monster trucks and applied that to the large retro carcass giving the tire a very pliable feel to the user.

After adding the waffling tread pattern, the mirrored and overlapped chevron tread is back cut for reduced weight and provide a cutting edge in the performance direction. Everything aligns in the center and a recess built into the center geometry forms the home base to the items. The sidewalls are highly detailed with embossed logos making it great for shelf vehicles or show-and-shine competitors. Finely detailed inner hatching exists inside the lettering providing even more detail all the way up to the diamond shaped icons near the top of the sidewall.

The inner carcass is completely smooth with continuous profile to allow the cushion of the soft blue compound rubber to grip to a vast array of surfaces. The Big Cheese includes the large and supportive React foam inserts to hold up the rigors of monster truck demands. The tire fits the industry standard 2.6 x 3.6” Tribute wheel which is available separately in color options such as white, black, yellow, and silver. For mounting purposes, an arrow <- is included on the sidewall indicating the intended running direction of the tires.

Monster Trucks have always been fascinating with their stunning looks, character identities and monster sized tires. Tires remain the key item when seeing a monster for the first time and it's no different in the world of radio control. When it's time to outfit an RC monster truck, it's important to have the scale look, proportions and size associated with the larger-than-life beasts. Meet the Firestorm Full Cleat tire by JConcepts.

66 x 43x 25" is the standard issue size of monster truck tires before any buffing or trim has been applied to the tread. JConcepts is on top of the monster truck scene with knowledge and passion reserved only to the true fans of monster trucks. The Firestorm in Full Cleat configuration packs the scale look and performance of the 1:1 tires but with the all-important scale concept. Inspiration has been drawn from the late 1980’s and early 1990’s era of side-by-side racing where performance, weight and appearance made all the difference.

The Firestorms roll with a scale height and width which give competition and show trucks the ground clearance, stance, and forward traction necessary to look and act the part. The Full Cleat flat bar design of the tread provides a stable lug capable of gripping an assortment of surfaces while the sidewall has plenty of strength to withstand high-speed cornering. The tire lettering has an authentic appearance, indicating many of the popular wordings, warnings and details associated with large scale flotation tires. The retro style JConcepts logo pulls inspiration from a time when all out performance was priority number 1.

The Firestorms measure in at 6.43 x 4.05 x 2.6” and are available in the soft "blue" compound which is recommended for dirt, grass and asphalt feels noticeably mushy and sticky and has expanding characteristics like off-road racings outdoor compounds. The tire is designed with a single contour carcass and reduced sized beads for reduced overall weight. Firestorm tires are complete and include open cell "React" inserts to support the grippy tires.
