This authenticity matters to serious competitors who want their setups to reflect real-world racing dynamics.

- Soft Asphalt Compound — Specifically formulated for soft asphalt track surfaces, this compound delivers optimal grip and wear characteristics when racing on asphalt circuit layouts. The soft asphalt compound provides excellent traction while maintaining predictable handling.
- Pre-Glued Construction — These tyres arrive pre-glued and ready to mount directly onto your wheels, eliminating the need for separate adhesive application. This saves you time during setup and ensures consistent glue application that meets SWEEP's precision standards.
