AJAX Northwest Delivers Grip: New Slick Tire Pair Hits the Market

AJAX Northwest LLC, based right here in Lake Oswego, Oregon (3305 Lingren Rd, 97035 – give us a shout at 213-793-0561!), is thrilled to announce the arrival of our brand new slick tire pair! We’re a team of dedicated engineers and motorsport enthusiasts, and we've poured a ton of work into making these tires the best they can be. For years, AJAX Northwest has been quietly supplying high-performance components to racing teams and serious drivers. We started small, focusing on custom fabrication and problem-solving – basically, making stuff that works when nothing else will. Now, we’re bringing that same level of dedication and quality to a wider audience with these slick tires. So, what's the big deal about these tires? Let’s be real. Tires are kinda important, right? They’re the only thing between you and the road, and when you’re pushing the limits, you need something you can trust. These aren’t your average tires. We’re talking serious grip, designed for drivers who demand the absolute best. We noticed a gap in the market. A lot of slick tires are either super expensive, requiring a massive investment, or they’re…well, just not quite good enough. We wanted to build a tire that offered top-tier performance without breaking the bank. We figured, why not combine quality materials, smart design, and a price point that makes sense? What makes these slicks different? A few things. First, the compound. We spent months testing different rubber mixes to find the sweet spot – a formula that provides incredible grip without wearing down too quickly. We’re not giving away our secret sauce, but let’s just say it involves some pretty advanced polymers and a whole lot of testing at local tracks. The tire's profile is also key. We went with a relatively square-shouldered design, which maximizes contact patch during hard cornering. This means more grip, more stability, and a whole lot more confidence when you’re carving through turns. We've tweaked the internal construction to improve responsiveness and predictability. It’s not just about brute force grip; it’s about feeling connected to the road. Who are these tires for? These slicks aren't really for your daily driver, unless your daily driver is a track monster. We're talking about: Track Day Enthusiasts: Want to shave seconds off your lap times? These tires will help. Amateur Racers: Looking for a competitive edge without spending a fortune? We've got you covered. Time Attack Competitors: Need consistent performance and predictable handling? These tires are built for it. Autocrossers: Quick transitions and maximum grip are the name of the game, and these tires deliver. Drifters: (With appropriate car setup!) The compound is designed to handle the abuse of drifting while still maintaining good grip levels. We’re really focused on the grassroots motorsport community. We want to help everyday drivers achieve their racing dreams, and we believe these tires are a crucial part of that. We understand that not everyone has a huge budget, so we’ve worked hard to create a product that offers exceptional value. What about sizes? Right now, we're launching with a core set of popular sizes: 225/45R15 205/50R16 225/40R17 245/35R18 We plan to expand our size offerings based on customer demand. If you don't see your size listed, please give us a call – we might be able to special order it for you. What's the response been like so far? We’ve been doing some initial testing with a few local racers, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. They’ve reported significant improvements in lap times, increased cornering confidence, and a more predictable handling feel. One driver even told us these tires “completely transformed” his car! That’s pretty cool to hear. We’ve also gotten a lot of excitement on social media. People are clearly looking for an alternative to the overpriced and underperforming options currently on the market. What's next for AJAX Northwest? We're not stopping here. We’re already working on new tire compounds, different tread patterns, and even some exciting new wheel designs. We want to become a one-stop shop for all your performance driving needs. We’re also committed to providing exceptional customer service. We’re a small company, which means you’ll always be talking to a real person who understands your needs. We're not some giant corporation that doesn't care about individual customers.
