AKA Products have announced the 1:8 truggy version of their bestselling Scribble tire. Based on the tread design of the 1:10 Scribble, the weave pattern lends support to the tread and allows for even tire wear across the surface of the tire. The voids in the Scribble pattern allow it to grip through light dust that accumulates during a race. This weave pattern also features enough rubber in the design to make sure the tire will have the wear resistance to hold up run after run. The tread and carcass has been optimised for truggy racing with a slightly taller and thinner tread to meet the desired grip and drivability needed to compete at the highest level.
