Speedshop tires are handmade by Lee Gilbert of Speedshop. Speedshop tires and donuts have been used to win almost every major scale race in the past 10 years.
Speedshop uses the finest hand selected rubber to provide a consistant predictable race car and driving experience. The Hubs are ultra light-weight magnesium but have the strength of aluminum. The hubs are precision manufactured to our specifications. The hubs are full width (.810) and feature a .015 recess on the inner portion to allow perfectly accurate spacing with less drag than occurs in flat hubs. The inner boss is extended for rotational stability when installed for a near perfect balance and less vibration and wobble. The extended length set-screws are hollow for the best pressure and extended thread life in the hub. They are selected to provide the best rotational balance. Speedshop hubs can be remounted and used for many years with care. The small .400 diameter hubs allow a more forgiving car with better traction on flat tracks or when track conditions are "loose", The larger .490 diameter hubs have less rotational resistance and can account for faster lap times on a heavier glued track.
