Slick Supergrip - 19 x 13 LOW PROFILE

NSR Slick Supergrip 19x13 Low Profile Rear Tyres: grip and precision in every corner

The NSR Slick Supergrip 19x13 Low Profile (reference NSR5287) are rear tyres developed by NSR for those looking to extract maximum performance from their setups. With a diameter of 19 mm and a width of 13 mm in low profile, they are designed to reduce the height of the wheel-rim assembly, thereby lowering the car's centre of gravity and gaining stability in corners.

Main Features

• Size: 19 x 13 mm
• Low Profile: lower tread height, resulting in a lower centre of gravity
• Slick Supergrip Compound: NSR's high-grip rubber blend, aimed at maximising track contact
• Slick Finish: no tread, for a uniform and consistent contact surface
• Rear Use: specifically designed for the drive axle

Behaviour and Performance

The combination of low profile and Supergrip compound allows the tyre to work with a greater effective contact area without raising the car. This is particularly noticeable in fast corners, where the lower gyroscopic inertia and the lower position of the centre of mass help maintain the line with less tendency to skid. NSR's Slick Supergrip compound is well-known in the slot community for its good response from the first laps, without the need for prolonged running-in to reach temperature.

Compatibility and Installation

Before fitting these tyres, it is advisable to check the size of the rear rims on your chassis, as the diameter and width must match the 19x13 profile. NSR offers a wide range of rims compatible with this size, making it easier to find the right combination according to the type of track and race regulations. After installation, it is recommended to lightly turn them on the car's own bench to ensure perfect concentricity and maximise the grip of the compound.

Ideal for…

• Club racers looking to reduce lap times through improved rear grip
• Setups where the centre of gravity needs to be lowered without changing the rim
• Categories where the 19x13 size is within the regulations
• Enthusiasts preparing their cars for a more stable and predictable behaviour

Considerations

The low profile means that the tyre occupies less height than a standard profile of the same size, so it is advisable to check the wheel arch clearance of the body to avoid rubbing. Additionally, as this is a pure slick, its optimal performance is achieved on clean indoor tracks; on surfaces with dust or accumulated dirt, it is advisable to clean both the track and the tyre itself before running.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many units are included in the NSR5287 pack?

The information provided by the manufacturer does not specify the number of units per pack at this time. We recommend checking the updated listing in-store or contacting us to confirm.

What is the difference between low profile and standard profile in NSR tyres?

The low profile has a lower tread height than the standard for the same diameter and width. This lowers the car's centre of gravity and can improve stability, although it also means that the chassis will be somewhat closer to the track, which is something to consider on circuits with irregularities.

Is it necessary to turn the tyres after installation?

Although it is not strictly mandatory, turning the tyres on the bench after installation is a common practice in slot preparation. It ensures that all points of the rubber are at the same distance from the axle, eliminating vibrations and maximising track contact.

What track systems are these tyres compatible with?

The tyres themselves are independent of the track system; compatibility depends on the chassis and rims of the car. These tyres can be used on cars prepared to run on Scalextric, Ninco, Scaleauto, Carrera or any other system, as long as the chassis mounts rims of size 19x13.

Is the Supergrip compound suitable for wooden tracks?

The NSR Slick Supergrip compound is designed for indoor plastic tracks, which are the most common in club slot racing. On wooden tracks, the behaviour may vary; we recommend doing some practice laps to assess grip before competing.
