Box Components (Box) is pleased to announce its newest BMX race tires product line. Box

weight, traction, rolling resistance, and rebound. At its heart is a super-supple 120TPI casing
where we forced in as much rubber displacing nylon as possible. Skin walls are employed to

"Box One tires were created out of the necessity of two important features needed when racing
