Description
 
High-performance "V-Slick" tires that are specially made for the popular 1:8 scale Inferno GT series cars. The new slicks are available in two different compounds, and are made from race-proven rubber that ensures long life and better performance. The V-Slicks are packaged in pairs, include foam inserts, and are designed to mount directly to any Inferno GT wheels, in fact most 1/8th scale buggy wheels will work. Two different shore ratings mean these tires are ready for anything ranging from street or parking lot surfaces up to the high-traction surface of a prepared racetrack.
Add performance to your GT by just simply bolting on a set of KC Slicks, which provides more traction and longer tire life compared to the stock tires. Go out and attack your local track and leave the competition in the dust.

About the shore ratting (we get questions about this all the time):
On-road tires can be rated by the hardness of the rubber (or foam). Kyosho has 45 and 55 shore tires only now, the others have been discontinued. Kyosho measures the shore rating by using a tire durometer. This is a tool that has a small steel pin that is spring loaded and indexed to a circular gauge, similar to a tire pressure gauge. To measure the tire hardness you roll the durometer on top of the tire; the compression force that the rubber has exerted on the steel pin can be read on the dial. Repeat it over several locations on the tire and the average is the tire's shore value.
The higher the shore rating, the harder the tire. A softer tire will give you more traction, choose wisely as you may sacrifice the durability and longevity of the tire. In a long main this could be a important factor.
