This is a pair of Losi King Pin Rear off-road truck tires in red (soft) compound. Losi has been the innovator in off-road tire design for over 20 years. The "King-Pin" rear truck tire is the latest in cutting edge application specific design. The "King-Pin" is designed to bridge the gap between loose loamy surfaces and hard packed blue-groove tracks while working well on both. The combination of the reinforced carcass and the unique directional tread design and pin profile provide remarkable traction on a wide variety of tracks and surfaces. Although the Step-Pin and Taper-Pin tires have been the racer's choice for extreme track conditions, the "King-Pin" addresses the need for a tire that excels in the broad range of conditions in between. On a loose surface the many sharp edged square pins easily penetrate semi-loamy dirt due to the unique design that resists deflection. On a hard packed surface the many edges provide excellent forward drive and side bite. The race proven carcass design is clearly marked with a direction of rotation arrow and is a sure bet to handle both smooth and rutted surfaces. The "King-Pin" is available in Losi's exclusive "Silver" and soft "Red" rubber compounds and includes firm foam inserts.
Losi tires generally come in three compounds, Red (soft), Silver (hard) and Pink (clay). The red compound is most commonly used for wet tracks and less abrasive
conditions, while the harder silver compound is for very high bite track
conditions. Pink compound, is a special soft compound formulated for
hard packed indoor clay tracks.
- Silver (S); Silver is the most common and
reliable Losi compound. It works well under varying conditions and
is exceptional on blue-groove and soft surfaces.
- Red (R); Red compound picks up where Silver
stops. This soft/sticky formula works well on dry, hard, slick surfaces.
- Pink (P); Pink compound offers traction similar
to Red with handling characteristics similar to Silver and is ideal for
hard packed indoor clay tracks.
