About this part
JConcepts Launch 2.6" Monster Truck Tires are one of the most detailed JConcepts tire ever created. This tire features a forward bite influenced design that replicates tires used in major series events in the 1:1 world. The closely spaced tread elements were excavated away leaving an alternating upper lip. The lip has micro cuts and channels left over from the original pattern giving plenty of clean-out with the tread itself and in between in the valley areas.
The valley area has heavy sculpting where removed material backs into the upper lip allowing an area to grip or drag track surface material during rotation. The Launch excel in dirt or asphalt conditions where spaced edging of the pins helps forward drive. Staggered ribs near the top of the sidewall add some “burnout” territory for doing donuts and hard sliding while the notched or staggered pattern helps provide some support for hard turns.
Replicated cuts helped turn the carcass into a low-profile tire giving it a racing stance like other successful JConcepts tires such as the Renegade. The tire includes “React” open cell inserts which support the upper carcass and sidewall under loaded conditions. The tire carcass profile is light-weight and extremely low-profile giving the design of the tire just the right amount of contact patch for racing. Eyed by the experts as an excellent carpet tire, the Launch may be used front or rear or paired with the Knobs for ultimate tune-ability. The tire measures in at 5.80 x 4.0 x 2.6” and are available in two different compounds.
The JConcepts tire has retro logo, tire name, sizing, and tire part number identification bossed into the tire making it even more authentic. Two tires are included (unmounted) per package and as always, the product is backed by JConcepts customer service, supported, and developed by professionals with style and authenticity.

Randy SawyersVerified ownerMay 3, 2026on JConcepts Launch 2.6" Monster Truck Tires (2) (Blue)
Pros: These tires look great, but that is subjective. Makes a nice tire to build a replica of the old Barefoot racer. As usual, they are nicely made and fit the Tribute wheel good. Cons: The slam tech foams don't fit this tire well. Thoughts: Nice tire set. They are a bit smaller overall height from other JConcepts tires but they are cool if you are going for a specific style or grip. Unfortunately I haven't raced them yet so I can speak to the grip for my blue compound, although like other blue compound tires from JConcepts, they feel great and so I anticipate the performance will be good.
