When spirited competition in the monster truck game was at its pinnacle, cutting tires, modifying tread, and carcass carving was an artform. It was not unusual for a team to put in an extreme amount of effort to cut and arrange a tread pattern, all in the interest of going faster on the racetrack. For the JConcepts team, it was only natural to produce replicas for the RC monster truck crowd.
JConcepts believes tire options in the class should replicate those used in major series events in the 1:1 world, and the Knobs certainly do.The Knobs excel in dirt or asphalt conditions where massive edging of the pins helps forward drive and side-bite.
The carcass is low-profile, creating a racing stance like other successful JConcepts tires, such as the Renegade. The tire includes "React" open cell inserts to support the upper carcass and sidewall under loaded conditions. The carcass is light-weight and extremely low-profile giving the design of the tire just the right amount of contact patch for racing. The Knobs measure in at 5.80 x 4.0 x 2.6".
The soft "blue" compound, which is recommended for dirt, grass, and asphalt, feels noticeably mushy and sticky, and has expansion characteristics like off-road racings' outdoor compounds. The JConcepts tire has retro logo, tire name, sizing, and tire part number identification bossed into the tire, making it even more authentic looking.
Two tires are included (unmounted) per package.
