Overview
The Powerhobby Gripper 54/100 Belted Pre-Mounted Tires are the ultimate choice for 1/8 scale GT racing, speed runs, and high-speed bashing. These wide 54mm tires feature a gripper-tread profile and belted carcass construction designed to deliver maximum traction and prevent tire ballooning at extreme RPM. The bold red wheels add eye-catching style to any high-speed build.
At 54mm wide, these are wider than typical 1/8 GT tires (which run 40-42mm), making them ideal as rear tires when paired with Powerhobby's 42mm Gripper tires up front for an aggressive, race-tuned setup. Both tires share the same 100mm height, so no diff gear changes are required.
