JConcepts team driver Ryan Maifield had this to say about the performance of the Subcultures tires.   “Dialing in my 1/8th buggy has never been easier than with JConcepts.  The Subcultures tire is my latest weapon when I’m running on a surface that has loose and dry conditions.  When it comes to tires, wheels, bodies and accessories JConcepts has you covered.”
