Tyres x4 Dry-1

The Dry-1 Tyre: Four Units to Master Drifting on Track

Drifting in slot is not about losing control, but about finding it at the limit. The Dry-1 tyres (ref. CXM041) are designed precisely for that: to provide controlled and progressive sliding, allowing the driver to play with the drift angle without the car becoming unpredictable. This pack includes 4 units.

Features and Function

• Controlled sliding: the Dry-1 compound is formulated to reduce grip compared to a standard grip tyre, facilitating the initiation and maintenance of the drift.
• Wheel compatibility: designed for wheels of 15.5 mm or larger.
• Pack of 4 units: enough to fully equip a slot car at all four points.

Track Behaviour

The philosophy of the Dry-1 can be summed up in one word: progressiveness. Unlike maximum grip tyres, which can have a sudden loss of traction, the Dry-1 gives a warning before reaching the limit, making it easier to learn the drifting technique and allowing experienced drivers to execute clean and stylish drifts. They are particularly interesting on smooth track surfaces or in configurations where a more spectacular driving style is sought rather than a time-based one.

Installation and Preparation

Installation is straightforward: check that the inner diameter of the tyre fits correctly on your wheel (minimum 15.5 mm) before installation. If you want to enhance the drift effect even further, combine them only on the rear axle and maintain higher grip tyres on the front to preserve steering.

Ideal for…

• Enthusiasts who want to explore drifting in slot without losing control of the car.
• Club drivers preparing for exhibitions or freestyle categories.
• Tuners looking for a differentiated tyre profile to adjust chassis behaviour.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many tyres are included in the pack?

The CXM041 pack includes 4 Dry-1 tyres.

What wheel size are they designed for?

They are compatible with wheels of 15.5 mm or larger. Check the inner diameter of your wheel before installing them.

Are they suitable for timed competition?

Their compound is optimised for drifting and controlled sliding, not for maximum grip. In standard timed competition, a conventional grip tyre will offer better times. The Dry-1 excels in style categories or in technical training sessions.

Can I use them only on the rear axle?

Yes. Many enthusiasts mount them only on the rear axle to combine controlled drift on corner exit with more precise steering on the front.

Do they require any prior treatment?

No special treatment is necessary. However, avoid using grip additives, as they would alter the sliding behaviour for which they are designed.

The Dry-1 tyres (ref. CXM041) are a set of 4 slot car drift tyres engineered for controlled sliding on smooth track surfaces.
