Key Features
- 2.6 Inch Diameter — These tyres are specifically sized at 2.6 inches to ensure perfect fitment on the LMT 2.0 chassis, providing the exact rolling diameter and handling characteristics that Losi engineered for this vehicle platform.
- Soft Compound Construction — The soft rubber compound delivers superior grip and traction compared to harder compound alternatives, making these tyres ideal for both on-road track surfaces and rough outdoor terrain where maximum contact and bite are essential.
- Foam Inserts Included — Each tyre comes pre-fitted with foam inserts, eliminating the need for separate purchase or tedious installation, so you can mount these straight onto your wheels and get driving immediately.
- Pair Package (2 Tyres) — This pack contains two complete tyres with inserts, giving you a full replacement set for either the front or rear axle of your monster truck.
- Genuine Losi Product — As an authentic OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) component, these tyres are made to the exact same specifications and quality standards as the tyres on brand-new Losi LMT 2.0 ready-to-run models.
- Monster Truck Optimised — The tyre profile and tread pattern are specifically designed for monster truck applications, where large diameter wheels and substantial ground clearance demand tyres that deliver reliable traction without compromising steering response.
Technical Performance
The BKT 2.6 inch Monster Truck Tyre represents Losi's engineering expertise in suspension and drivetrain components. With their 2.6 inch diameter specification, these tyres are engineered to work in perfect harmony with the LMT 2.0's solid axle suspension design, maintaining the precise ride height and weight distribution Losi calibrated for optimal handling. The soft compound rubber provides a significant advantage in grip characteristics, allowing your monster truck to maintain traction through high-speed turns, aggressive acceleration, and challenging terrain. The pre-installed foam inserts are crucial for performance — they absorb impacts from jumps and rough ground whilst maintaining tyre shape under heavy cornering loads, ensuring consistent handling lap after lap or run after run. Whether you're competing in organised RC racing events or bashing through woodland trails, the foam insert construction prevents tyre deformation that could lead to loss of grip or unpredictable handling. The tyre's sidewall construction is engineered to resist punctures and abrasions whilst maintaining flexibility for improved comfort and predictability. For UK RC enthusiasts operating in variable weather conditions, including wet grass and damp track surfaces common to British terrain, the soft compound's enhanced grip provides a significant performance advantage that justifies investment in quality OEM tyres.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Losi models are these BKT 2.6 tyres compatible with? — These tyres are designed specifically for the Losi 1/8 LMT 2.0 monster truck range, including the Grave Digger 4x4 Solid Axle Monster Truck RTR (both standard and pre-owned bundle versions) and the SonUva Digger 4x4 Solid Axle Monster Truck RTR. If you own an LMT 2.0 model, these are the correct replacement tyres.
- What is the difference between soft, medium and hard compound monster truck tyres? — Soft compound tyres like these provide maximum grip and are ideal for racing and general bashing on mixed terrain, medium compounds offer a balance between grip and durability for all-round use, and hard compounds are designed for maximum durability and are better suited to high-speed running on smooth surfaces. The soft compound in this set prioritises traction over tyre longevity.
- Do these tyres come with inserts? — Yes, both tyres in this pair come with foam inserts already pre-fitted, so there is no additional assembly required — simply mount them on your wheels and you're ready to drive.
- Can I use these tyres on other Losi models? — These tyres are specifically engineered for the LMT 2.0 platform and are compatible with the models listed above. Using them on other vehicle types may result in incorrect handling and performance characteristics, so always verify compatibility before purchase.
- How long do these tyres last? — Tyre lifespan depends on driving style, surface conditions and frequency of use. Soft compound tyres wear faster than harder compounds because they prioritise grip over durability, but they deliver superior performance for racing and serious bashing. For competitive drivers, having multiple sets of tyres allows rotation to extend overall lifespan and maintain performance consistency.
- Are these tyres good for RC racing? — Yes, the soft compound construction is specifically chosen for racing applications where maximum traction is essential for competitive performance. The foam inserts provide the stable platform needed for consistent lap times and predictable handling through corners.
