JConcepts re-invents the pin style tire with the release of the PinDowns. The Pin Downs feature a pin spiked tread, which is directionalfor added performance and stability. The directional nature of thepins were positioned to allow broken-in type pins to grip the surfacein one direction, while the pins are more upright when oriented inthe opposite direction. The bottoms of the pins have heavy radiuseswhich allow the pins to wear more consistently and not tear or ripoff the carcass prematurely. The tires are designed for the industrystandard SCT wheels, available from JConcepts with part numbers 3344(AE) and 3352 (TLR).
The tire carcass itself has been refined to reduce weight while maintainingstrong sidewall support. The pink compound marked with 2 pink dotson the tire represents a new compound for JConcepts, a medium softmaterial with good wear characteristics. The rear tires include gray,open cell inserts making them a complete set ready to mount, straightout of the package. The Pin Downs work best on Carpet and Astroturftracks where typically a small pin tire is working.
JConcepts performed an extensive amount of testing with the new tireswith key drivers. Jason Ruona, Spencer Rivkin, Kody Numedahl, JRMitch, Joona Haatanen, Alex Kosciuszek, Kyle Layton and Malin Karlsenall gave the new tires tests for speed, durability and consistencyand the new tires passed with flying colors. The hottest new off-roadCarpet and Astroturf tires are now available to the public for thefirst time.
