- Medium Compound Formula — The medium hardness compound balances grip with durability, making these tyres suitable for both high-grip surfaces and more abrasive terrain without excessive wear.

Technical Performance
These 2.6 inch BKT monster truck tyres represent a precision-engineered component within Losi's comprehensive LMT 2.0 ecosystem. The medium compound rubber formula has been specifically developed to deliver consistent grip across diverse UK terrain conditions whilst maintaining structural integrity during aggressive driving sessions. The integrated foam insert system absorbs impacts and maintains tyre shape under load, critical for a vehicle of this scale and capability. The tyre sidewall construction provides adequate flex for traction without excessive deformation, ensuring that cornering grip remains predictable and responsive throughout extended driving sessions. The tread pattern has been designed to bite into loose surfaces while shedding mud and debris effectively, important considerations for UK drivers who frequently encounter mixed weather conditions and varied terrain. At 2.6 inches in diameter, these tyres maintain the correct rolling circumference for the LMT 2.0's solid axle geometry, preserving your vehicle's speed calculations and ensuring that Losi's suspension tuning recommendations remain valid. The unmounted format allows complete flexibility in your build, whether you're running beadlock wheels, standard wheels, or exploring alternative fitment options available in the UK RC market.
