JConcepts has announced two new tires for carpet racing with their new Pin Swag and Fuzz Bite tread patterns. First up is the Fuzz Bite, a low profile tire designed for better transitional handling at high speeds while the shape of the pins has been optimized for use on office carpet as well as tight weave CRC carpeting. Each pin is shaped like a “reverse water tower” as JConcepts puts it, with a wider base narrowing to a smaller diameter tip for added stability and long life. Alternating rows of pins add sidebite while also improving forward traction and wear characteristics. A final unique feature of the Fuzz Bite is the scalloped bead that reduces rotating mass without sacrificing bead adhesion. Available conveniently mounted on #3348 (rear) or 3376 (front) Mono wheels, in either bright while or fluorescent yellow, each pair are supported by grey, medium density, open cell foam inserts.
Also new to the carpet racing lineup for JConcepts are the Pin Swag’s, a tire that, according to JConcepts, “combines the outer lugs of a JConcepts front tire with the dense arrangement of Pin Down type pins.” Each pin has a rounded shape that sharpens toward the tip. Near the sidewall is where the Swag portion of the tire lies, giving a smooth transition between the two tread designs that ultimately leads to a sharp ledge. These tires are also pre-glued to #3348 Mono wheels and are available in either bright white or fluorescent yellow for 2wd or 4wd rear use. Like the Fuzz Bites, the Pin Swags are supported by grey, medium density, open-cell foam inserts.
