A
new high-performance tire from JConcepts hit the market with the
release of the Cheese Racer for monster trucks. Named after Tom
Hitchcock, a well-known track owner in central Florida, the Cheese Racer
has almost too many styling, interesting concepts, and details to list.
Simply put, the new tire has just about every feature used on all
existing tires rolled into one. The difficult task was first envisioned
during concept drawings and when computer aided models were merged over
the top of each other and mirrored.
After
countless hours of detailing out the new design, the tire appeared in a
waffle like picture but positioned for all-terrain grip. The tire is
built on similar carcasses to popular tires like the Renegades, Racer,
Runner, JCT, and Outlaw. JConcepts design team took the carcass and
added the hand cutting details as used in the racing generation of
monster trucks and applied that to the low-profile race carcass giving
the tire a very pliable feel to the user.
After
adding the waffling tread pattern, the mirrored and overlapped chevron
tread is back cut for reduced weight and provide a cutting edge in the
performance direction. Everything aligns in the center and a recess
built into the center geometry forms the home base to the items. The
sidewalls are highly detailed with embossed logos making it great for
shelf vehicles or show-and-shine competitors. Finely detailed inner
hatching exists inside the lettering providing even more detail all the
way up to the diamond shaped icons near the top of the sidewall.
The
inner carcass is completely smooth with continuous profile to allow the
cushion of the soft blue and medium gold compound rubber to grip to a
vast array of surfaces. The Cheese Racer includes large and supportive
React foam inserts to hold up the rigors of monster truck demands. For
mounting purposes, an arrow <- is included on the sidewall indicating
the intended running direction of the tires. The new tire is intended
for Pro Mod racing, outlaw competition, or performance-oriented bashing.
