Important Notes

  • For race track and off-road use only. Not intended for public street use.
  • Tires are sold individually.
  • Select the desired tire size before adding the product to your cart.
  • Verify the selected tire size, wheel dimensions, load requirements, and vehicle clearance before ordering.
  • For drifting, Zeknova recommends approximately 0° of camber for optimal performance and tire longevity.
  • Excessive camber can concentrate loads on a smaller portion of the tread and contribute to accelerated or uneven wear.
  • According to Zeknova's guidance, excessive camber angles and low wheel speeds can contribute to premature wear, delamination, or chunking.
  • Tire grip, smoke output, wear, and service life can vary depending on horsepower, alignment, tire pressure, temperature, wheel speed, track surface, vehicle setup, and driving technique.
  • Inspect tires before and between drift sessions for abnormal wear, damage, chunking, delamination, or other signs of deterioration.
  • Do not continue using a tire that exhibits structural damage or unsafe levels of wear.
  • Professional mounting and balancing are recommended.

Competition Use Notice

For race track and off-road use only. Not intended for public street use.

Drifting places substantial loads and temperatures on tires and vehicle components. Tire performance and service life depend on factors including horsepower, wheel speed, alignment, tire pressure, temperature, track surface, vehicle setup, and driving technique. Drivers are responsible for regularly inspecting their tires and determining whether they remain suitable for continued competition use.

The Story Behind the Lanz 8

The Lanz 8 was created in recognition of U.S. driver Luis Lanz and his efforts to push for a longer-lasting, more affordable tire designed around the needs of the drifting community. Zeknova named the tire after Lanz as part of its goal of recognizing drivers and personalities who contribute to the growth of drifting and motorsports.

The number 8 represents infinity, reflecting what Lanz describes as the endless track, the desire to keep driving, and the passion behind his involvement in motorsports. The Lanz 8 is the first tire in Zeknova's initiative to recognize individuals within the motorsports community through products carrying their names.
