4 Classic Tyres 22x7 Tread For Rim M026

Classic tyres 22x7 for M026 rim: four units ready to mount

This pack includes 4 classic tyres measuring 22x7 mm with tread, designed to fit the M026 rim. A fundamental consumable in any slot preparation workshop: keeping the tyres in good condition is one of the factors that most influences the car's behaviour on the track, especially on surfaces where the tread provides a differentiated contact profile.

Features and function

• Size: 22x7 mm, compact format typical of rear axles in 1/32 scale cars.
• Tread pattern: the carved profile better distributes contact with the track on certain surfaces, offering predictable response in both fast sections and corners.
• Direct compatibility: designed for the M026 rim, ensuring a precise fit without the need for additional modifications.
• Pack of 4 units: enough to equip the rear axle and have a spare pair, or to prepare two cars at once.

Mounting and preparation

The mounting on the M026 rim is straightforward. Before installing them, it is advisable to clean the rim with a dry cloth to remove any grease or dust that may compromise the tyre's grip. If turning is to be done, it is recommended to do so with the tyre already mounted on the axle to achieve optimal concentricity and minimise run-out (vibration due to eccentricity).

Regarding grip, tyres with tread perform well on both plastic tracks and some wooden or vinyl surfaces, where the profile favours more controlled driving compared to slicks in lower temperature or traction conditions.

Ideal for…

• Hobbyists looking for a reliable and direct fit replacement for the M026 rim.
• Preparers who want to have several tyre options to experiment with the car's setup.
• Club competitors who need to always have spare units on hand to avoid losing race sessions due to wear.

Considerations

As with any slot tyre, the rubber may harden slightly over time if stored in a dry environment with exposure to high temperatures. It is best to keep them in a sealed bag, away from direct light and heat, to preserve their properties for as long as possible.

Frequently asked questions

Which rim are these tyres compatible with?

They are specifically designed for the M026 rim. Before purchasing, check that your car uses this rim to ensure the correct fit.

How many units does the pack include?

The pack contains 4 tyres, allowing for a complete rear axle setup and a spare pair, or to prepare two cars simultaneously.

Can these tyres be turned?

Yes. Like any slot tyre, they can be turned once mounted on the axle to improve concentricity and contact with the track. It is recommended to perform this operation with a specific slot turning tool or truer.

Does the tread improve grip compared to a slick?

It depends on the track and conditions. Generally, tyres with tread offer more predictable behaviour on surfaces with lower temperatures or on tracks where the slick may be too aggressive. For racing on well-prepared tracks, the slick is usually the standard choice, but the tread provides versatility.

How to properly store the tyres?

The ideal way is to keep them in an airtight bag, in a cool place without direct sunlight exposure. Avoid contact with oils or solvents, as they can alter the rubber's properties.

These classic slot car tyres (22x7 mm, tread pattern, M026 rim) are a reliable replacement part for 1/32 scale slot cars.
