Avid Front Tire Guardian V2 2.2" Slim Buggy 1/10 (x2) AV3001-V2

🚗 The Avid Guardian 2.2" Slim V2 are specially designed for 1/10 competition buggies racing on On-road carpet. This new generation improves upon the original Guardian design by offering more steering response at high speeds and under throttle, while maintaining linear, precise, and easy-to-handle performance. The Guardian V2 Slim also stands out for its ability to deliver peak performance from the very first lap, with no break-in period required.

🏁 Thanks to their optimized design, these Avid competition front tires provide more grip in the middle of the turn and more direct steering right up to the exit of the turn. Their wider and denser tread pattern promotes consistent grip while improving durability. The reinforced sidewall on one side helps reduce initial body roll and increase stability through corners. Two rubber compounds are available to precisely tailor the buggy’s performance to the On-road’s grip level.
