Jetko JK1005 Dirt Slinge : 1/8 buggy racing tire
The Dirt Slinger features a dynamic tread pattern that will perform on just about any off-road track. The large center lugs are well suited for strong acceleration, and the position of the "Dirt Slinger " outer portion of the tread alternates to deliver the ideal balance of acceleration and cornering performance.
Jetko Rubber Compound GuideSelect the optimal tire compound based on temperature and track surface:
- Red Compound – Ultra Soft (Red Dot) For below 10°C or dusty, low-grip tracks. Maximizes pin movement for grip in loose conditions.
- Orange Compound – Soft (Orange Dot) Best for 15–25°C or semi-swept tracks with reduced dust. Offers more precision than Ultra Soft.
- Green Compound – Soft (Green Dot) Ideal for above 25°C on clean, high-grip surfaces like swept dirt with wood and/or cobblestone sections. Lowest wear rate.
- Ultra Soft Composite Rubber (Double Red Dots) Use on oiled or synthetic tracks (with wood and/or cobblestone sections) below 15°C, or when the surface is slippery outside this range.
- Super Soft Composite Rubber (Double Orange Dots) Also for below 15°C on oiled/synthetic surfaces. Slightly firmer than Ultra Soft Composite.
- Soft Composite Rubber (Double Green Dots) Designed for above 15°C on oiled or synthetic surfaces. If temps exceed 20°C, switch to traditional compounds (Super Soft or Soft).
- Wet Rubber (Gold Dot) For below 10°C or wet conditions. Not recommended for dry tracks above 15°C due to increased wear.
Tip: Composite rubbers are optimized for synthetic or oiled surfaces. Traditional compounds perform best on natural dirt tracks.
