AKA Racing
AKA's R-Line pre-mounts feature AKA's World Championship winning EVO wheel, and when combined with the stiffener disc (34003Y or 34003W), is the most technically advanced wheel available.
The R-Line pre-mount also features AKA's soft red insert (34001S) which was also used by Cody King to win the 2010-2011 1/8 Buggy IFMAR World Championships.
Combine these two revolutionary products with the quality and endurance of AKA tires and the result is the most technically advanced pre-mounted tires ever offered for 1/8 Buggies.
The I-Beam features a dynamic tread pattern that will perform on just about any off-road track. The large center lugs are well suited for strong acceleration, and the position of the "I-Beam" outer portion of the tread alternates to deliver the ideal balance of acceleration and cornering performance.
Features:
- Assembly Quality: AKA Pre-Mounts are all hand assembled using AKA Premium tire glue and are double checked for adhesion quality. Like AKA inserts and wheels, tire balance is critical to superior performance and it''s a priority in AKA tires. Mold components are manufactured to the highest tolerances to ensure the best possible alignment of all the mold components. This results in a tire with more uniform thickness for the best possible balance.
- EVO Wheel: R-Line pre-mounts feature our EVO wheel which is designed to withstand the higher G-loads of modern 1:8 buggies with less deflection without giving up durability. You can also use the optional wheels stiffeners (34003Y) to further stiffen the wheel but still have a wheel that is the same weight as a standard wheel.
- Lifespan: The long life of the AKA tires is due to the collective decades of rubber compound development Gil Losi brings to the table. In fact, Gil has been responsible for developing some of the most successful tires in off-road racing for a generation. Each compound is tested in labs then rigorously track tested to ensure the highest quality.
- Mold Accuracy: AKA tire molds are made in the U.S.A. using the most advance mold-making techniques and processes available. The cost is higher to produce such a precision mold, but its part of an uncompromising desire to deliver the highest quality product available.
- Red Insert (Soft): R-Line pre-mounts also feature the new soft red insert. The red insert is designed to soak up the big bumps with its fluted internal diameter while still holding its shape in the turns to increase corner speed and consistency.
- Tread Performance - Each tire tread is computer designed and track tested by AKA engineer Gil Losi and team drivers to ensure the best performance before each tire goes into production.

The CityBlock tire is designed for hard to medium-packed surfaces. The two-stage tread features square mini-pins on top of rectangular blocks. The square mini pins are designed for superior grip on a hard-packed, high-traction racing surface. The rectangular blocks underneath the mini pins provide greater tread depth, which is also makes this versatile tire ideal for those times when you drift into the loose dirt.

Based on a fresh take on tread design, the ENDURO is built on a redesigned carcass that features a stiffer sidewall for better cornering and internal ribbing to help keep the tire more stable when used on the softer proprietary AKA compounds. The large cross cut lugs offer increased tread life, while allowing the lugs to fold over and bite into the dirt even in the harshest conditions. When AKA released the CITYBLOCK tire the competition quickly followed suit, bringing new tread patterns to the track in an attempt to keep up. The AKA ENDURO will once again give the competition something to shoot for.

The IMPACT tire features a dense small square lug pattern with offset lug rows in the center of the tire to deliver maximum forward traction and good wear characteristics. The two outer rows of lugs are parallel to create a circumferential groove at the edge of the tire to give the tire very predicable side bite. This allows the car to rotate in the center of the turn while still feeling very stable and predictable. The IMPACT is built on AKA's latest carcass design featured on the ENDURO and WISHBONE tires and is available in all of AKA's proprietary compounds.

AKA EVO Zipps 1/8 Buggy Pre-Mounted Tires are designed with durability and stability in mind, perfect for today's high wear and high grip tracks. The ZIPPS features a very dense symmetrical block tread pattern with a center staggered rib. The dense block pattern puts as much rubber on track as possible while still allowing dust to clear from the tire patch. This enables superior wear and stability while remaining controllable off line in the dust. The center rib decreases rolling resistance on the straights and creates a very stable platform in the center of the tire. AKA also updated the block design to allow for more deflection. This allows the block to flex a bit more front to rear to gain forward bite while still remaining stable side to side.

- Red Insert (Soft): R-Line pre-mounts also feature the new soft red insert. The red insert is designed to soak up the big bumps with its fluted internal diameter while still holding its shape in the turns to increase corner speed and consistency.
- Tread Performance - Each tire tread is computer designed and track tested by AKA engineer Gil Losi and team drivers to ensure the best performance before each tire goes into production.
The 2016 World Championship winning Double Down tire has been designed to fit between the Impact and the Zipp when you have a slightly dusty surface, but you need better wear characteristics due to an abrasive surface or a surface that is polished and creates lots of wheel spin. The pin size and spacing has been adjusted to give more room for dust to clear the tread pattern yet still have the pin density across the carcass to give it great wear characteristics.
These pre-mounts feature AKA's World Champion winning EVO wheel, combined with AKA's soft red insert. When these performance parts are combined with the AKA stiffener disc (AKA 34003Y or AKA 34003W), you have most technically advanced wheel/tire combo available.
Features:
- Assembly Quality: AKA Pre-Mounts are all hand assembled using AKA Premium tire glue and are double checked for adhesion quality. Like AKA inserts and wheels, tire balance is critical to superior performance and it''s a priority in AKA tires. Mold components are manufactured to the highest tolerances to ensure the best possible alignment of all the mold components. This results in a tire with more uniform thickness for the best possible balance.
- EVO Wheel: R-Line pre-mounts feature our EVO wheel which is designed to withstand the higher G-loads of modern 1:8 buggies with less deflection without giving up durability. You can also use the optional wheels stiffeners (34003W) to further stiffen the wheel but still have a wheel that is the same weight as a standard wheel.
- Lifespan: The long life of the AKA tires is due to the collective decades of rubber compound development Gil Losi brings to the table. In fact, Gil has been responsible for developing some of the most successful tires in off-road racing for a generation. Each compound is tested in labs then rigorously track tested to ensure the highest quality.

Perfect for the cold days at the track to keep you warm in style!
These inserts were designed to decrease the lateral deflection of the tire while at the same time increase the vertical impact absorption. This providing better handling in the bumps and greater stability. Using a softer foam or hollowing out the inner circumference like other companies do still leaves the car feeling squirmy with a less accurate feeling through the bumps - not to mention the loss of durability.
Gil Losi and Mark Pavidis knew this compromise was not the solution. The solution they found was the addition of lateral grooves to the inner diameter. The lateral grooves allow the insert to flex vertically to absorb the large impacts while still maintaining lateral stability and overall durability AKA inserts are known for.
No compromises. The result is a more predictable handling truck without giving up durability.
The EVO Impact features the renowned Impact tread pattern, combined with the incredible 1/8 scale EVO style bead, delivering a balance of traction and reliability. The IMPACT features a dense small square lug pattern with offset lug rows in the center of the tire to deliver maximum forward traction and good wear characteristics.
The two outer rows of lugs are parallel to create a circumferential groove at the edge of the tire to give the tire very predicable side bite. This allows the car to rotate in the center of the turn while still feeling very stable and predictable entering and exiting the turn. The IMPACT is ideal for loose, loamy, or very dusty outdoor tracks and is available in Soft and Super Soft compounds. Designed, tested, and made in the USA.

In fact, Mark and Gil have been responsible for developing some of the most successful tires in off-road racing for a generation. Each compound is tested in labs then rigorously track tested to ensure the highest quality.
- Balance: Like AKA inserts and wheels, tire balance is critical to superior performance and it's a priority in AKA tires. Mold components are manufactured to the highest tolerances to ensure the best possible alignment of all the mold components. This results in a tire with more uniform thickness for the best possible balance.
- Mold Accuracy: AKA tire molds are made in the U.S.A. using the most advance mold-making techniques and processes available. The cost is higher to produce such a precision mold, but its part of an uncompromising desire to deliver the highest quality product available.
The REBAR has been designed for indoor tracks, as well as hard packed, blue-grooved outdoor tracks.
The REBAR features double side rails on the edges of the tire that provide additional sidewall support, increasing side bite so your buggy stays planted in the turns.
The wide staggered center lugs give the REBAR incredible forward traction to hook up the power and launch your buggy out of the corners and over jumps.
NOTE: These tires do not include foam inserts.

The TYPO is a very low tread pattern that has been optimized for hard-packed indoor tracks. The carcass features the 1/8 scale EVO bead, combined with a refined tread profile.
These tires feature the industry standard AKA Red Closed Cell Inserts, and are intended for use with Team Associated, TLR/Losi and Kyosho 1/10 2WD and 4WD buggies that use a 12mm hex rear wheel.
Features:
- EVO Bead: The EVO bead design uses an 1/8 scale style L-shaped bead mount. This allows the user to glue the tire to the wheel more effectively, creating a much stronger glue bond.
- EVO Wheel: The EVO wheel has been redesigned to be stronger and stiffer. The EVO wheel features pre-punched vent holes in the wheel, combined with the L-shape bead that makes tire mounting much easier by giving you a wider and easily accessible gluing surface to ensure a strong bond between the tire and wheel.
- Red Insert (Soft):The red insert is designed to soak up the big bumps with its fluted I.D. while still holding its shape in the turns to increase corner speed and consistency.

These inserts were designed to decrease the lateral deflection of the tire while at the same time increase the vertical impact absorption. This providing better handling in the bumps and greater stability. Using a softer foam or hollowing out the inner circumference like other companies do still leaves the car feeling squirmy with a less accurate feeling through the bumps - not to mention the loss of durability.
Gil Losi and Mark Pavidis knew this compromise was not the solution. The solution they found was the addition of lateral grooves to the inner diameter. The lateral grooves allow the insert to flex vertically to absorb the large impacts while still maintaining lateral stability and overall durability AKA inserts are known for.
No compromises. The result is a more predictable handling car without giving up durability.
Pop the lid open, twist to unlock, and press down with a towel or cloth to dispense contents.
Works perfect for cleaning tire beads during the mounting process and many more applications.
