Alienation TCS R2 Tires

The R2 is designed specifically for BMX riding, balancing the needs of both track and street use. Its dual-compound construction makes it versatile enough to handle high-speed straightaways while providing the necessary grip for aggressive cornering.

The tire uses a harder rubber compound in the center to minimize rolling resistance and increase durability, while the softer compound on the outer edges improves traction when you lean into turns. This combination gives you a faster ride without sacrificing cornering stability.

The 120 TPI (threads per inch) casing makes the tire more supple and responsive compared to lower thread-count tires. This allows the tire to conform better to the riding surface, resulting in a smoother, more predictable feel.

These tires feature Alienation's proprietary TCS bead. While they are designed to work optimally with compatible TCS rims, they are generally compatible with most standard BMX rim profiles.

The maximum recommended pressure for the TCS R2 is 85 psi. We recommend starting slightly below this and adjusting based on your riding surface and personal preference for grip versus rolling speed.

Each tire weighs 340 grams. This lightweight construction helps reduce rotational mass, making it easier to accelerate and maneuver your bike.
