Tyres 15 x 8 (x4)

Low profile front tyres 15x8 from Avant Slot, pack of 4 units

Tyres are one of the elements that most influence the behaviour of a slot car: they determine grip, cornering response, and overall stability on track. This pack of four low profile tyres in size 15x8, with reference AV20315, is the original replacement from Avant Slot designed for the front axle of their models.

Function and performance

The low profile of these tyres reduces the height of the car's centre of gravity, resulting in greater stability in fast corners and a cleaner transition between direction changes. As original parts from Avant Slot, they ensure a precise fit to the corresponding wheel hub, avoiding play that could compromise the racing line.

A worn or hardened tyre due to the passage of time is one of the most common causes of performance loss on track, and replacing them with new units is the quickest way to restore the original behaviour of the car.

Compatibility

These tyres are designed as replacements for Avant Slot models that use the size 15x8 on the front axle. Before installation, it is advisable to verify in the documentation of the specific model that this reference corresponds to the correct position and wheel hub.

Installation and preparation

Installation does not require special tools, but it is important to ensure that the tyre is properly seated on the rim without wrinkles or tensions that could generate vibrations. Once mounted, it is common to true the front tyres on a truing lathe to achieve perfect concentricity, especially if maximum performance is sought in competition sessions.

Ideal for…

• Preparers and enthusiasts who perform regular maintenance on their Avant Slot cars.
• Club competitors who need to have original manufacturer spare parts on hand at all times.
• Those who are restoring models stored for a time and need to replace hardened original tyres.

Frequently asked questions

How many tyres are included in this pack?

The pack contains 4 tyres (reference AV20315), sufficient to equip all four wheels of a car or to have spare units available.

Are they exclusively for the front axle?

The original reference from Avant Slot identifies them as front tyres in size 15x8. Check your model's documentation to confirm the correct application.

Is it necessary to true them after installation?

For recreational use, it is not strictly necessary, but if you are looking for maximum performance in competition, truing them on a lathe improves concentricity and reduces vibrations during operation.

How often should front tyres be changed?

It depends on usage and track type. Visually, it is advisable to check them if they show irregular wear, flattening, or loss of elasticity. A hard tyre with no grip directly affects the racing line in corners.

Can they be used on other models of the same size from other brands?

They are original replacements from Avant Slot and are optimised for their models. Compatibility with models from other brands depends on whether the wheel hub and the inner diameter of the tyre match exactly; this is something that must be verified on a case-by-case basis.
