1/8 Buggy Item Code: JKO1004DWUSU
JK1004 Lesnar The Jetko Lesnar 1/8 Buggy Tires which comes with lightweight grooved cell inserts.
The Lesnar was developed to be the longest lasting race tire ever produced while still being quick and agile.
In the past, the prevailing knowledge for creating a tire that lasted throughout the long A-Mains in extreme wear conditions was to design a big and tall tire tread that was spaced out.
While this was effective for the day, the tall and stiff tread numbed out the handling and didn’t have the speed of the smaller pin race tires.
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.
