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

AJAX Northwest LLC, based right here in Lake Oswego, Oregon, is known around the racing world – and increasingly, on the street – for delivering high-performance tire solutions. For years, we’ve been the go-to source for serious racers needing dependable, winning tires. But we’re not just about the track anymore. We're bringing that same commitment to quality and performance to a wider audience, and our latest offering proves it: a brand-new pair of slick tires designed to seriously upgrade your ride. You might be asking, "Slick tires? What's the deal?" Well, these aren’t your average tires. We're talking about tires engineered for maximum grip – on the track, sure, but also for anyone who wants that locked-in, responsive feel. AJAX Northwest isn’t just selling tires, we’re providing a feeling – the feeling of being totally connected to the road. So, what makes these slick tires special? It all starts with the compound. We've spent months perfecting a new rubber blend that maximizes adhesion in both wet and dry conditions (yes, you read that right!). Many slicks are great in the dry, but become terrifying when it rains. We wanted something different. Our engineers aimed for a tire that delivers consistent performance no matter what Mother Nature throws at you. That meant a lot of testing - on everything from autocross courses to actual rainy Oregon roads. “We really pushed the limits during development,” explains Dave Miller, AJAX Northwest's Head of Engineering. “We didn’t just want a tire that was fast when everything was perfect. We wanted a tire that gave the driver confidence, knowing it would stick, even when conditions weren't ideal.” And stick it does. The tire’s tread pattern – or, rather, lack of a traditional tread pattern – is the key. Slicks have a large contact patch with the road. More rubber touching the asphalt equals more grip. That translates into quicker acceleration, tighter cornering, and shorter stopping distances. Beyond the Grip: What to Expect But it’s not just about grip. We also focused on durability. Slick tires can wear out faster than tires with tread, so we’ve built these to withstand serious abuse. The tire's internal construction features a reinforced casing and a high-quality belt package, resisting deformation even under hard cornering. Here's a breakdown of what you get with the AJAX Northwest slick tire pair: Maximum Grip: Designed for superior adhesion in both dry and wet conditions. Enhanced Handling: Experience tighter cornering and more responsive steering. Improved Acceleration & Braking: Get off the line quicker and stop shorter. Durable Construction: Reinforced casing and high-quality belt package for long-lasting performance. Optimized for Performance Driving: Perfect for autocross, track days, and spirited street driving. Available Sizes: Currently available in 225/40R15, 245/40R17 and 275/35R18, with more sizes coming soon. Who are these tires for? While these slicks are incredibly capable on the track, they’re also a great upgrade for street cars driven by enthusiasts who want that extra level of performance. Think about it: do you enjoy driving? Do you crave a more connected, engaging experience behind the wheel? These tires will deliver. “We’re seeing a lot of interest from drivers who just want a more fun, engaging driving experience,” says Sarah Chen, AJAX Northwest’s Marketing Manager. “They’re not necessarily professional racers, but they appreciate the benefits of a high-performance tire.” AJAX Northwest: A Legacy of Performance For years, AJAX Northwest has been a trusted partner to racing teams across the country.
