The Losi BKT 2.6 inch monster truck tyre represents the pinnacle of 1/8 scale replacement tyre engineering, specifically calibrated for the LMT 2.0 solid axle platform. The medium compound rubber provides an optimal balance between grip and wear characteristics, performing reliably across diverse driving surfaces from manicured grass fields to rough dirt terrain. The pre-mounted configuration eliminates variables introduced during the mounting process, ensuring consistent tyre pressure and balance from the moment you install them.

If you own an LMT 2.0 model, these tyres will fit perfectly without any modifications.
- Are these tyres suitable for both racing and bashing? — Yes, the medium compound formulation of the BKT tyre makes it versatile enough for both competitive racing and recreational bashing, though dedicated race-spec or bash-spec tyres may offer more extreme performance in specialised applications.
