Dry-2 Tyres: Controlled Slip for Tuning Your Car on Track

The Dry-2 tyres (ref. CXM042) come in a pack of 4 units designed for those seeking predictable and adjustable behaviour on the circuit. Their compound allows for controlled slip, facilitating the search for the limit without losing stability, something particularly valued in tuning sessions or competitions where lap consistency makes the difference.

Main Features

• Pack of 4 units ready to mount.
• Rim compatibility: designed for rims equal to or larger than 16.5 mm in diameter.
• Dry-2 compound: oriented towards controlled slip, allowing a balance between grip and correction capability.

Behaviour and Performance

A controlled slip tyre does not seek maximum pure grip but rather offers a wider driving window. This translates into cars that warn before losing the rear end, respond better to guide corrections, and maintain more consistent lap times over a long run. For the club driver wanting to learn the limits of their setup, or for the veteran who prefers smoothness over brutality, this type of compound makes a lot of sense.

Mounting and Preparation

Before mounting the tyres, check that your rim diameter is 16.5 mm or larger to ensure a proper fit and avoid irregular stresses on the rubber. A centred mounting and prior truing with a lathe or manual sanding will help ensure that all four tyres perform perfectly from the first lap.

Ideal for…

• Club drivers looking for a predictable compound for long sessions.
• Enthusiasts in the learning process who need more correction margin.
• Setups focused on consistency rather than absolute top speed.
• Circuits where oversteer penalises lap times.

Considerations

Always check rim diameter compatibility before placing an order. The Dry-2 compound is not aimed at maximum grip, so if your driving style demands maximum traction on very slow surfaces, other compounds may better suit your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rim size are these tyres designed for?

They are designed for rims of 16.5 mm or more in diameter. It is important to respect this minimum to ensure a proper fit and homogeneous behaviour.

How many units does the pack include?

The CXM042 pack includes 4 Dry-2 tyres.

What does "controlled slip" mean exactly?

It refers to a compound that does not seek maximum grip but rather offers a more progressive and predictable response at the adhesion limit. The car warns before losing traction and is easier to correct, improving consistency during runs.

Do I need to true the tyres before using them?

It is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended. Truing with a lathe or by hand ensures that all four tyres have the same effective diameter, improving the car's balance and reducing vibrations.

Are they suitable for plastic track or also for wooden track?

The provided information does not specify the optimal surface type. If you have doubts about compatibility with your specific circuit, we recommend consulting us directly.

The Dry-2 tyres (ref. CXM042) are a set of 4 slot car tyres designed for rims equal to or larger than 16.5 mm. Their controlled-slip compound delivers a predictable, consistent behaviour on track, making them a solid choice for club racing, tuning sessions, and drivers looking to expand their correction window without sacrificing lap-time consistency. Compatible with a wide range of slot car axle and rim setups.
