AKA adopts two popular tread patterns for off-road’s biggest racing classes

AKA has been at the forefront of off-road tire technology since the brand debuted with a full line for 1/8-scale nitro buggies, but when the market shifted back toward 1/10-scale electric racing so did the focus of the California-based company. Their latest products translate two of their most widely used tire patterns from the big buggy class into smaller formats, to be used on short course trucks and the rear of 1/10-scale 2WD and 4WD buggies.

The Gridiron has always been a go-to tire on race days for 1:8 and SC trucks. The 1:10 Gridiron takes the same design cues as its bigger brothers and packs it into a dust-cutting, small pin performer. On dusty hard packed tracks where you would struggle with traction, the Gridiron will be a top performer! Available in AKA’s race proven Super Soft, and Soft compounds.
