JConcepts has a new tire in their lineup of No Prep/Drag Racing tires dubbed the Mambos that is not only wider than a standard SC tire (these are designed to work the JC’s own Mambos width wheels, #3408, #3409 or #3415) but also include an inner waffle design that helps reduce balooning. This tire strikes a balance between a non-belted tire with its flexible compliance and inherent tendency to expand and a belted tire’s firmer carcass and resistance to changing diameter at high RPM. This tire is non-belted but includes and industry first internal waffle geometry that, combined with the thicker carcass material and internal and sidewall ribbing, reduces tire expansion without making the tire overly stiff. This design also reduces the rotating mass of the tire for snappier launches and reduced drivetrain load. The tires include Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts and are available in three compounds: blue, green and gold.

Notes from the JConcepts team:
Blue compound = soft feel, medium to high expansion rate and recommended for all weather conditions. Ideally, the surface temperature range should be 90 degrees or below.
Green compound = super soft feel, high expansion rate and recommended for cool or cold weather conditions. The surface temperature range should be under 75 degrees.
Gold compound = clay compound, soft feel with medium expansion rate and recommended for warm or prepped surfaces. The surface temperature should be either above 90 degrees or treated / prepped.
