Tyres x4 Dry-0

Controlled sliding from the first lap: the Dry-0 CXM040 in action

The Dry-0 tyres with reference CXM040 come in a pack of 4 units designed for rims up to 15.5 mm. Their name already hints at their philosophy: a dry-profile rubber that does not seek maximum grip at any cost, but rather controlled and predictable sliding that allows the driver to manage the limit more naturally.

Features and function

• Rim compatibility: designed for rims with a width of 15.5 mm or less.
• Dry-0 compound: formulated to provide controlled sliding, facilitating a more intuitive driving experience on dry tracks.
• Pack of 4 units: sufficient to fully equip a slot car on both the rear and front axles.

Track behaviour

Unlike extreme grip compounds, the Dry-0 allows the car to communicate its limits in advance. This translates into manageable oversteer and greater consistency from lap to lap, especially on layouts with fast, linked corners where stability is paramount. For drivers who prefer a smooth and progressive driving style, this type of rubber feels very natural.

Mounting and preparation

Before mounting the tyres, it is advisable to check that the diameter and width of the rim are within the indicated range (≤ 15.5 mm). Proper seating of the tyre on the rim ensures concentricity and avoids vibrations during operation. If you use them in competition, we recommend truing them slightly to achieve a uniform diameter across all four before the first timed session.

Ideal for…

• Club drivers looking for a balanced and predictable tyre.
• Setups focused on consistency of results rather than pure lap time.
• Categories where the regulations or race philosophy prioritise control over maximum grip.

Considerations

Always check the compatibility with the inner diameter of the tyre and the profile of your specific rim before purchase. If you have doubts about which compound best suits your track type or driving style, consult our team: we are here to help you fine-tune every detail.

Frequently asked questions

How many tyres are included in the CXM040 pack?

The pack includes 4 Dry-0 tyres, sufficient to equip all four axles of a slot car.

What rim size are they designed for?

They are indicated for rims with a width of 15.5 mm or less. Check the measurements of your rim before mounting them.

What does "controlled sliding" mean?

It means that the compound is not formulated for maximum grip, but to provide a progressive response that alerts the driver before losing traction. This facilitates driving and improves consistency from lap to lap.

Is it necessary to true them before using them in competition?

It is not mandatory, but it is recommended. A slight truing ensures the concentricity of all four tyres and eliminates possible diameter variations that could cause imbalances.

Are they compatible with any track system?

Compatibility depends on the size of your car's rim, not the track system. Ensure that your rim does not exceed 15.5 mm in width and the tyres will fit without issue.

The CXM040 Dry-0 slot car tyres come in a pack of 4 and are designed for rims up to 15.5 mm wide. Their controlled-slide compound delivers a progressive, predictable grip level that suits club racing and competition preparation alike. Whether you race on Scalextric, Ninco, Scaleauto or Slot.it tracks, these tyres offer consistent lap-to-lap performance for drivers who value balance over raw traction. A light truing session before your first timed run is recommended to ensure perfect concentricity across all four tyres.
