Function and Performance

Slick tyres eliminate any drainage channels to maximise the contact surface with the track. The F22 compound from Policar is formulated to provide consistent grip throughout the session, helping to maintain cornering trajectory and effectively transmit engine power to the rail.

A worn or irregularly profiled tyre is one of the most common causes of performance loss in slot single-seaters. Regularly replacing them is one of the simplest and most effective maintenance actions we can undertake.

Compatibility and Installation

These tyres are specifically designed for Policar F1 cars. Before installing them, we recommend cleaning the rear axle and checking that the rim diameter is suitable for a snug fit. Proper installation, without play, ensures centred rolling and vibration-free operation.

If you seek maximum performance, you can slightly true the tyres with fine sandpaper or a trueing tool to ensure that all points of the rubber contact the track surface evenly.

Common Mistakes

• Installing tyres without first checking the centring of the rear axle.
• Not cleaning the tyres before the first session: a quick wipe with a slightly damp cloth removes mould release residue and activates the compound.
• Ignoring asymmetric wear, a sign that the chassis or geometry needs checking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this pack also include front tyres?

No. This pack contains exclusively 4 rear tyres. Policar front tyres are sold separately.

What is the difference between the various compounds from Policar?

Policar offers different compounds (identified by their alphanumeric code) that vary in hardness and grip level. Softer compounds provide greater traction but wear out faster; harder compounds are more durable but slightly less adhesive. The F22 compound is aimed at performance use on the track.

Which cars are they compatible with?

They are designed for Policar F1 single-seaters. If you have doubts about compatibility with a specific model, check the car's reference or verify the rim dimensions.

When should tyres be changed?

When visible wear on the tread, irregularities in the profile, or a noticeable loss of grip compared to initial uses is observed. On competition tracks, many drivers check them after each demanding session.

Is it necessary to true them before use?

It is not mandatory, but it is advisable if you seek maximum performance. A gentle truing ensures that the entire contact surface touches the track evenly from the first lap.
