Function and Performance
The moulded tread on these tyres is not just an aesthetic consideration: it helps define the classic character of the finished vehicle and adds a highly realistic scale appearance. The 20x6 dimensions are precise and optimised to fit correctly onto the M026 rim, avoiding play or tension that could affect the concentricity of the mounted wheel.
On track, a well-centred tyre with a deformation-free fit is the basis for smooth rolling, free from vibrations and with predictable behaviour, especially important in classic or historic cars where the setup seeks balance rather than raw power.
Compatibility and Fitting
These tyres are designed to fit onto the M026 rim. Before installing them, it is advisable to ensure that the rims are perfectly clean and free from burrs to guarantee a uniform seating of the tyre. Careful fitting, with the tyre well-centred and without folds, will make a difference in the final behaviour of the car.
If you use glue to secure the tyre to the rim, apply it in small amounts and evenly to avoid altering the balance of the assembly.
Ideal for…
- Preparers and enthusiasts working with classic or historic slot cars.
- Those looking to replace worn tyres while maintaining the original appearance of the vehicle.
- Assemblies where visual detail and scale fidelity are as important as performance.
Considerations
The pack includes 4 tyres. Before placing your order, check that your rims are indeed the M026 model, as an incorrect size may affect the fit and the final result of the assembly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many tyres are included in this pack?
The pack contains 4 classic 20x6 tyres with tread, sufficient to equip a complete car (front and rear axle).
Which rim are these tyres compatible with?
They are specifically designed for the M026 rim. We recommend checking the reference of your rims before placing your order to ensure the correct fit.
Does the tread pattern of the tyre affect grip on track?
In classic slot cars, the tread is primarily an aesthetic and scale element. Grip depends more on the tyre material and the preparation of the contact surface with the track.
Is it necessary to glue the tyre to the rim?
It depends on the use. For casual running or display, it may not be necessary. In competition or intensive use, securing the tyre with a small amount of suitable adhesive ensures it does not shift during rolling.
Can I sand these tyres once mounted?
Yes, it is a common practice in slot preparation to achieve perfect concentricity and improve contact with the track. It is recommended to do this with the wheel mounted on the axle and turning at low speed.
