TZO 202

TZO 202 1/8 Off-Road Buggy Tyres (Set of 4)

The TZO 202 is a versatile 1/8 off-road buggy tyre developed for loose, loamy, slick and grooved race surfaces. Designed to deliver a balanced combination of forward traction, side bite and predictable handling, the 202 has become a proven choice across a wide range of track conditions.

The tread pattern provides strong forward drive while maintaining consistent side grip, allowing the tyre to generate confidence through corner entry, mid-corner rotation and acceleration. Its balanced handling characteristics help reduce an aggressive or "edgy" feel, making the tyre easy to drive while maintaining competitive lap times throughout qualifying and main events.

The TZO 202 performs particularly well on loose and loamy tracks, while also providing excellent performance on slick, grooved and dry racing surfaces when matched with the appropriate compound. Its versatile tread design makes it an excellent all-round option for racers competing across changing track conditions.
