1/8 Truggy Race Tire Chart (Every Brand & Compound)

Every 1/8 truggy race tire we track, in one chart — organized by manufacturer, with each brand’s treads lined up against that brand’s own compound ladder. Each part number links to that exact tire and compound.

One important caution before you compare: compound names do not translate across manufacturers. One brand’s “Soft” is not the same rubber as another brand’s “Soft,” and there is no universal scale. That is why this page never compares tires across brands — use the tables to compare compounds within a manufacturer’s lineup, and lean on local track knowledge when switching brands.

As a general rule that holds within any single brand: softer compounds grip harder and wear faster (better for low-grip, loose, or cold conditions), harder compounds last longer and stay consistent on high-grip or hot tracks, and clay compounds target damp/clay surfaces. Long Wear (LW) versions trade a little grip for durability. Truggy tires are 4.0″ and share wheels across most brands — where a tread is also sold already glued to a wheel, it is listed under Pre-mounted sets in that brand’s section.

Pro-Motion

Pro-Motion runs two compound systems: a numbered T scale (T1–T4, T1 softest) on its newer treads, and named compounds (Super Soft, Soft, Medium) with Long Wear (LW) versions. Clay and Clay Oro cover damp and clay surfaces.
