Running the JETKO Block truggy tires in the super soft compound on my SPARKO F8Te turned out to be one of the smartest choices I made all weekend. With Las Vegas temperatures tipping slightly above 100 degrees and a brutally rough track surface that could chew up tires faster than a dog on a pork chop, these tires not only survived — they thrived.
I wasn’t pushing the truggy to its absolute limits due to how blown-out the track was, but that actually gave the tires a chance to show their true character. The Blocks handled the gnarly ruts and jagged terrain with a forgiving nature, keeping the F8Te calm and composed. Instead of getting bucked and bounced around, the truck stayed predictable and drivable, which made for a way less exhausting day behind the wheel.
By the end of the day, not only had I made it through without swapping tires — rare in this heat and on this type of track — but there was still enough life in them to easily handle another practice session. Minimal chunking, solid tread wear, and consistent performance from morning till late afternoon.
If you’re racing or practicing in brutal conditions where consistency and longevity matter, the JETKO Block in super soft might just be your new best friend.
