Policar F1 Rear Slick Tyres: F22 Compound for Precise Grip Lap after Lap
Policar, the line of preparation accessories and spare parts from Slot.it, offers these rear slick tyres specifically designed for the F1 single-seaters in the range. The F22 compound defines the on-track behaviour: a balance between grip and durability that is particularly noticeable in acceleration sections and stability when exiting corners.
Features and Function
- Diameter: 13.8 mm — rear format for F1 single-seaters in the Policar/Slot.it range
- Slick Profile: smooth surface that maximises contact area with the track
- F22 Compound: specific formulation from Policar for this type of application
- Pack of 4 units: sufficient to equip a complete car with spare on hand
- Reference: PO-PPT1224F22
On-Track Behaviour
A well-chosen slick tyre makes the difference between a car that slides on the Sport lane and one that corners cleanly. The smooth profile of these slicks utilises the full width of the tread to distribute load evenly, reducing rear oscillations in fast chicanes. The F22 compound remains stable during prolonged sessions, which is especially appreciated in club competitions or preparation runs.
Mounting and Preparation
To get the most out of these tyres, it is advisable to mount them on a clean and dry rim, ensuring an even fit around the entire perimeter. If you detect any irregularity in the diameter after mounting, a gentle and concentric sanding — with the axle spinning on fine sandpaper — corrects any small eccentricity and ensures a quiet and precise run. Also, check that the final diameter complies with your championship regulations before putting the car on track.
Compatibility
These tyres are designed for the F1 models in the Policar (Slot.it) range that use a 13.8 mm rear rim. If you have doubts about the exact compatibility with your model, consult the technical sheet of the car or the official Slot.it documentation, where the corresponding rim measurements for each chassis are specified.
Ideal for…
- Enthusiasts preparing their Policar single-seaters for club or championship sessions
- Drivers looking to renew the rear tyres with the original compound
- Preparers wanting to have spare units on hand without waiting for orders
Frequently Asked Questions
How many units does the pack contain?
The pack contains 4 rear slick tyres, allowing you to equip a complete car with two additional spare wheels.
What differentiates the F22 compound from other Policar compounds?
Policar offers different compound formulations to adapt to various track types and driving styles. The F22 is aimed at F1 single-seaters, with a balance between initial grip and consistency throughout the session. We do not have additional technical data published by the manufacturer regarding the exact formulation.
Is it necessary to sand the tyres before use?
It is not mandatory, but gentle concentric sanding improves concentricity and eliminates possible irregularities from mounting, especially if maximum performance in competition is sought.
Are they compatible with Sport lane and universal lane tracks?
Compatibility depends on the car model, not the type of track. These tyres are replacements for Policar/Slot.it single-seaters that specify 13.8 mm on the rear axle. The track (Sport lane —Scaleauto, Slot.it— or universal lane —Scalextric, Ninco—) does not affect the choice of tyre.
How often should I change the tyres in competition?
It depends on the type of track, motor power, and driving style. Generally, when the diameter has noticeably decreased, when irregular wear marks appear, or when the car loses traction significantly, it is time to renew them.
