Compatibility and Installation

The size 20×6 is widely used in a variety of slot cars. Before installation, check that the inner diameter of the tyre fits the rim or wheel of your car. The ribbed profile fits particularly well on representations of classic touring cars, historic GTs, and any car where aesthetic fidelity to the original is paramount.

For installation, we recommend cleaning the wheels beforehand, centring the tyre properly, and checking for any vibration before putting the car on the track.

Ideal for…

• Enthusiasts looking to replace worn tyres while maintaining the classic appearance of the car.
• Competition in categories that require or allow ribbed tyres.
• Collectors wanting to maintain or restore a slot car to its original configuration.
• Preparers experimenting with different types of rubber and profiles depending on the type of circuit.

Considerations

The ribbed tyre offers different performance compared to the smooth tyre on track. Generally, the ribbed profile can provide greater initial grip on slightly textured surfaces, although on very smooth tracks, the smooth tyre usually performs better. The choice will depend on the type of circuit and the regulations of the championship you are participating in.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many tyres are included in this pack?

The pack contains 4 classic ribbed tyres in size 20×6, allowing you to equip a complete car or have spare units available.

What does the size 20×6 mean?

The first number indicates the outer diameter in millimetres (20 mm) and the second the width (6 mm). It is a common size for slot cars in scales 1/32 and 1/24, although it is always advisable to check against the specifications of the car before installation.

What is the difference between a ribbed tyre and a smooth one?

The ribbed tyre has bands or channels carved into the tread, while the smooth tyre has a completely uniform surface. Ribbed tyres are common in representations of road cars and in some competition categories; smooth tyres are more commonly used in categories that require maximum grip on clean tracks.

Is it necessary to glue the tyres to the wheels?

It depends on the use. In competition, it is common to use a small amount of specific glue to prevent the tyre from slipping on the wheel under traction demand. For recreational use, it may not be necessary, but it is always advisable to check that the fit is secure.

Do I need to true (sand) these tyres before using them?

For competition, it is recommended to true the tyres on a lathe or with the appropriate tool to ensure perfect concentricity. For recreational or decorative use, it is not necessary.
