JConcepts Reflex Pre-Mounted 1/8th Buggy Tires (2) (Yellow) (Green)
About this part
This is a pack of two JConcepts Reflex 1/8th Buggy Tires. The Reflex tire is designed to bridge a gap between the popular Hybrid tire and other options such as Crossbow and Stacker tire. The Reflex has square angled pins that are stacked vertically to flex and fold evenly across the tire. Typically a stacked tread will wear less and provide more forward bite while the aligned space helps rotation in the turns and gives a snappy release to square up quickly. The included Dirt-Tech insert, popularized by its durable nature and gray color, will give customers the combo package they have been waiting for from JConcepts.
Features:
- JConcepts original tread, available in multiple compounds
- Square, angled pins with horizontal bars
- Stacked tread for equal wearing
- 83mm bead mounting size for 1/8th compatibility
- Carefully shaped carcass = forward traction
- Includes Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts

These tires are great for 1/8 outdoors buggy racing, would recommend to others!
Bought these a couple weeks ago and they only survived two 7 minute heats. Ambient temps 70 deg F, Tekno EB48 2.2 on 4s 1900kv, loose loamy track, grip was pretty good. The tires and wheels themselves are good quality but the glue did not hold and 1 of the inside beads let go on the last heat. I drive conservatively and am more technical and smooth so I’m not happy with the glue separating the bead from the wheel. If they fix that these would be great value. Guess I’m back to gluing my own tires again. Bummer!
Good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reviewers give these pre-mounted 1/8th buggy tires mixed ratings (2 to 5 out of 5). One verified owner reports good tire and wheel quality and decent grip on loamy track, but says a bead separated from the wheel after two 7-minute heats, attributing it to glue failure. A five-star reviewer says the tires suit outdoor 1/8 buggy racing. A two-star review is very short and gives no detail beyond a single word. The recurring concern is bead or glue adhesion. Reviews are few, so the picture is limited.
- + Good tire and wheel quality
- + Decent grip on loamy track
- + Suited to outdoor 1/8 buggy racing
- − Inside bead separated from wheel
- − Glue failed after two heats
