SUPERGRIP rear tyres 19x13 for 16.5/17x4

NSR SUPERGRIP 19X13 Rear Tyres: precise grip for your Ø 16.5/17 wheels

The SUPERGRIP tyre range from NSR is one of the most sought-after references by slot car tuners looking for a reliable combination of grip and consistency. This specific model, with reference NSR5294S, is designed for the rear axle and fits directly onto NSR wheels with a diameter of 16.5 and 17 mm (codes 5030 and 5031).

Technical Specifications

• Tyre dimensions: Ø 19 mm × 13 mm wide
• Compatible with wheels: Ø 16.5 / 17 mm (codes NSR 5030 and 5031)
• Compatible with Air System wheels
• Total diameter when mounted on Ø 16.5/17 wheel: Ø 20 mm
• Position: rear axle
• Range: SUPERGRIP

Function and Performance

The NSR SUPERGRIP range is formulated to provide a high level of adhesion on track, with consistent response in cornering sections and a well-defined contact patch thanks to the 19×13 mm dimensions. The final diameter of Ø 20 mm once mounted on compatible wheels makes it easy to calculate the gear ratio accurately, something that the most demanding tuners appreciate when adjusting pinions and crown gears.

Compatibility

These tyres are specifically designed for NSR wheels of Ø 16.5 and 17 mm with codes 5030 and 5031. Additionally, they are compatible with NSR's Air System wheel system, which expands the configuration options for the rear axle depending on the chassis and motorisation used.

Mounting and Preparation

As with any competition slot tyre, we recommend careful sanding or gluing depending on the type of track and grip conditions of the circuit. The width of 13 mm allows for comfortable work on the sanding drum without compromising the tyre geometry. Always check the final diameter with a micrometer to ensure both rear wheels are identical before putting the car on track.

Common Mistakes

• Mounting this tyre on wheels with a different diameter than specified may compromise grip and the resulting final diameter.
• Do not mix tyres from different batches on the same axle: the diameter difference between units can affect the car's balance.
• Check that the wheel is perfectly centred before adhering the tyre to avoid vibrations at high speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many units are included in the pack?

The manufacturer's information indicates the tyre dimensions (19×13 mm) and its compatibility, but does not explicitly specify the number of units per pack in the provided data. We recommend checking directly on the store's product page or contacting us before placing your order.

Are they compatible with all NSR wheels?

No. These tyres are designed for NSR wheels of Ø 16.5 and 17 mm, specifically codes 5030 and 5031. For other wheel sizes, NSR has specific references within its tyre catalogue.

What diameter does the tyre have once mounted?

When mounted on a wheel of Ø 16.5 or 17 mm, the resulting total diameter is Ø 20 mm, according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Is it necessary to sand the tyres before use?

It depends on the type of track and the desired level of preparation. In club racing, it is common to equalise the diameter and surface through sanding to ensure maximum contact with the rail. For recreational use, it may not be necessary.

Are they compatible with wheels from other brands?

NSR specifies them for its own wheels of Ø 16.5/17 mm (codes 5030/5031) and Air System wheels. Compatibility with wheels from other brands will depend on whether the inner diameter of the tyre matches the outer diameter of the wheel; we cannot guarantee it if not indicated by the manufacturer.
