JConcepts Silent Rage 2.2" 2WD/4WD Rear Slick

The JConcepts Racing team is thinking outside the box with the introduction of the Silent Rage asymmetrical tire concept. Originally designed for the 2023 IFMAR World Championships at Hobby Action Raceway in Chandler, Arizona, the team arrived with something different. During the build-up to the world championships, the team felt the open front tire could leave an option to create an advantage to the team. The new tire was specifically designed to have 2 different sidewall heights and depending on conditions, the user could alter the direction for gains. Silver compound only.

As it happened, the indoor circuit did not mature as rapidly as thought and the new Silent Rage were never removed from hiding. This did not stop the development, JConcepts doubled down and created a rear tire in the same fashion. Throughout 2024-2026 the team has tested this concept at tracks across the country with great results on off-road and dirt oval track competition. The composition of the tire body makes it ideal for high-bite surfaces. A racer can place the low-profile sidewall toward the inside or outside depending on conditions or stagger for dirt oval or banked conditions. 

The new tire name’s sake arrives from a thriller movie from the 1980’s, Silent Rage. Recently, a legend passed away, Chuck Norris. Known for his martial arts abilities, Chuck Norris, fresh out of the United States Air Force became a 6-time and undefeated World Professional middleweight Karate champion, and action movie star of the 1980’s. Accomplished movies such as Lone Wolf McQuade, Delta Force, Code of Silence, and the aforementioned, Silent Rage elevated his martial arts status, but it was his reoccurring role as Walker Texas Ranger that resonates with the public. 

The dual name of the tire allows racers to use and properly identify a functional point to its design. Simply put, Silent represents the lower profile side to the tire indicated on the sidewall while Rage remains the more standard profile like existing Smoothie 2 and Dirt Web tires in the line-up. The tire is dramatically wedged, a first in off-road competition and provides some intangibles that haven’t been seen before. The light-weight tire carcass combined with specialty Dirt-Tech insert forms a winning combination out of the package.  

Already a winner, the Silent Rage has been used in competition winning events in the hands of Spencer Rivkin, and Broc Champlin.
