Slot.it Classic Tyres 20 x 9.5 mm: four units to fine-tune your setup
Tyres are one of those components that make the difference between a well-prepared car and one that simply rolls. The SIPT35 from Slot.it are Classic rubber tyres in size 20 x 9.5 mm, supplied in a pack of 4 units, designed for those who take the tuning of their vehicle seriously.
Features and Function
The Classic profile from Slot.it adheres to a design philosophy focused on balancing grip and wear consistency. The size 20 x 9.5 mm corresponds to a tyre diameter and width commonly used in rear axle applications on cars from the brand, although it is always advisable to verify the exact compatibility with the specific model by consulting the official Slot.it chart.
- Size: 20 mm diameter x 9.5 mm width.
- Material: Classic rubber compound.
- Pack contents: 4 units.
- Official reference: SIPT35.
- Manufacturer: Slot.it.
Compatibility and Installation
Slot.it designs its tyres to fit precisely onto the wheels in its own catalogue. Before installation, it is advisable to check the wheel number corresponding to your model to ensure the fit is correct. A well-fitted tyre on the wheel, without play or excess tension, is the starting point for stable track performance.
If the tyre comes with any flash or factory irregularity, a light sanding with fine grit on a rotating axle can equalise the diameter and improve contact with the track. This step, common in club preparation, makes a noticeable difference in consistency from lap to lap.
Ideal for…
This type of tyre is particularly suitable for:
- Enthusiasts preparing Slot.it cars for use on Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it).
- Club competitors seeking reliable, original spare parts to maintain their setups.
- Preparers alternating different sets of tyres depending on track type or conditions.
Considerations
The Classic compound is not the softest in the Slot.it catalogue, which provides greater durability and consistency over long sessions. If you are looking for maximum grip in short sessions or on low-grip tracks, a softer compound may better suit your needs. For club use with strict tyre regulations, always consult the rules before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many units are included in the SIPT35 pack?
The pack contains 4 units of Classic rubber tyre 20 x 9.5 mm.
Are they compatible with cars from other brands?
Slot.it designs these tyres for its own wheels. Compatibility with wheels from other brands depends on whether the inner diameter and width of the housing match. We recommend verifying this before installation.
Do I need to sand the tyres before using them?
It is not mandatory, but it is advisable in competitive contexts. A small sanding equalises the actual diameter and improves stability from lap to lap, especially if you are fitting two new tyres at the same time.
What is the difference between the Classic compound and other Slot.it compounds?
The Classic compound offers a balance between grip and durability, being more resistant to wear than softer compounds. It is a good option for long sessions or when consistency is more important than maximum grip.
Are they suitable for Scalextric or Ninco track (Universal track)?
These tyres are a replacement component for the car, not for the track. They fit onto the vehicle's wheels and are independent of the type of track (Universal or Sport) you use.
