Description
TZO 200 1/8 Off-Road Buggy Tyres (Set of 4)
The TZO 200 is a 1/8 off-road buggy tyre developed for high-traction dirt tracks and surfaces with a light layer of loam. Based on the proven tread design of the TZO 202, the 200 introduces refinements that improve stability, steering consistency, and overall handling on modern high-grip race tracks.
Each package includes four (4) tyres, making it suitable for a complete 1/8 buggy tyre change when paired with your preferred TZO foam inserts and wheels.
The tread features shorter centre and shoulder pins to minimise tread block flex under load, resulting in more consistent steering response, improved cornering support, and reduced tyre wear over long mains. Curved pin rows provide a more progressive steering feel, making the tyre easier to drive while maintaining predictable grip through changing track conditions.
Additional edge-positioned tread pins increase side bite and cornering traction without making the tyre overly aggressive on entry. The result is a balanced tyre that performs consistently through high-speed sweepers, technical infield sections, and hard acceleration zones.
The TZO 200 also features an updated 5-rib to 3-rib carcass design, engineered to work with TZO foam inserts to provide consistent sidewall support and an even contact patch. This combination improves tyre stability, maintains carcass shape under load, and delivers predictable performance throughout a race.
