JConcepts Whippits - Blue Compound - Dirt Oval, HD Carcass (Fits 2.2" Rear Buggy Wheel)

The dirt oval racing scene has a new off-road tire, the Whippits. Built on the industry-standard 2.2” bead size carcass, the Whippits come fresh from the JConcepts design team. This design first surfaced during the 2015 racing season for off-road racing. Inspired by a meeting with racing legend Brian “Dirt” Kinwald, the tire features a beefier bar design capable of handling outdoor blue groove, black groove, sealed, and glue-type surfaces. The 45-degree edging, requested by Kinwald, and light detail separating the pins create distinct top and bottom layers.

The outside of the tire features a directional design inspired by the 1:8th buggy tire, the Metrix, to support lateral loads while maintaining forward drive from mid-corner to exit. The long Whippit bars in the center ensure massive straight-line tracking and stability, while the heavy-duty pins resist excessive center wear. Subtle Pressure Point-type pins increase surface area and handle light dust, enhancing performance on rubbered tracks or pre-treated surfaces.

The Whippit tire carcass includes additional internal sidewall rib support, reducing deflection during high-speed cornering and intense dirt oval races. Dirt-Tech inserts are included, providing durability and steadfast support. The directional nature of the tire allows left-to-right adjustments for specific handling characteristics. As the tires wear, the outer bars remain intact while the center tread wears down, creating low-tread handling for increased speed.

The JConcepts team continually tests, builds, and gathers feedback to create high-performance, stylish products. Designed in the USA, these tires are supported by JConcepts' renowned customer service. Look for authentic products through reputable dealers and distributors.
