The Cubes tire was created for medium packed track conditions, but works well on all surfaces. The blocks allow for great bite and are far enough apart to allow for good clean out in soft loamy conditions. They are sized to fit standard buggy wheels. Low profile sidewall reduces flex in, and is available in two compounds.

Super sticky soft race compound

The real question is why? Why not just buy Crime Fighters? What do these bring new to the table?

Looks virtually identical to a Jammin Ripper.

Maybe they are cheaper?

[TheSnick]

Why? Why are other companies making truggies, and buggies? They will get a slice of the market, thats what its all about. Some people will buy these tires. The question is will they sell enough to turn a profit, as Grant mentioned, they will most likely use price as the hook.

I doubt it, have you EVER seen cheap tires from any company?

I understand what you are saying. I can imagine that a company introducing tires requires a high price tag to absorb the initial production costs. But don't you agree that competition is a good thing for us consumers? Keeps pushing technology, and drives prices down.

that's what I was thinking-why would I buy these over crimefighters or bow ties? they could've at least tried something unique.

Why not make a tire for bashers with bigger londer lasting lugs. Proline has Badlands, i think other companies should make something like that.

^ badlands hook like a sob.

Only if the various companies products actually pushes the technology forward, which is unfortunately very very rare. The only real great new tire I've tried in the last year is the W tire from Werks, those actually last longer and have good grip, possibly because they didn't just rip off extacally what was already being made.
