4 TYRE ICE-1

Slide like on ice: the ICE-1 tyres take the fun to the limit

The ICE-1 tyres (ref. CXM047) are a pack of 4 units designed for those who want to add a layer of spectacle and challenge to their slot races. Their low-grip compound mimics the behaviour on ice, forcing the driver to master oversteer and manage each corner with millimetric precision. The result: completely different sessions, full of excitement and slides impossible to replicate with a conventional tyre.

Function and performance

The key to these tyres lies in their special low-traction compound, which deliberately reduces grip between the tyre and the track. When turning, the car tends to lose grip at the rear axle, generating the characteristic oversteer that simulates driving on an icy surface. Far from being a defect, this behaviour is precisely what the enthusiast choosing the ICE-1 seeks: the challenge of keeping the car on track through technique and anticipation.

Compatibility

These tyres are designed to fit rims of 15.5 mm diameter or larger. Always check the diameter of your car's rim before fitting to ensure a correct fit and consistent behaviour at all four contact points.

Fitting and preparation

• Ensure that the rims are clean and free of grease before fitting.
• Make sure that all four tyres are properly seated and have the same effective outer diameter, especially if you are going to use them in competition.
• In combination with an appropriate body height adjustment and spring hardness, the sliding behaviour can be modulated to suit the type of track and the skill level of the drivers.

Ideal for…

• Themed winter races or ice track events in clubs and enthusiast gatherings.
• Training sessions for counter-steering technique and managing oversteer.
• Fun and different race formats where the skill level of the drivers is balanced by the difficulty of grip.

Considerations

As a low-grip tyre, it is not designed to extract the best possible lap time, but to offer a radically different driving experience. If you are looking for maximum performance in competition, consult the standard competition tyres in our catalogue.

Frequently asked questions

On what type of tracks do the ICE-1 tyres perform best?

They work on any standard slot track surface —both plastic and wood or fabric— although the sliding effect will be more or less pronounced depending on the finish. On very smooth tracks, the ice effect is accentuated; on rough surfaces, it is slightly softened.

Are they suitable for rims of exactly 15.5 mm?

Yes. The limit indicated by the manufacturer is 15.5 mm or larger, so that diameter is within the compatibility range. They are not recommended for smaller diameters, as the fit may not be correct.

Can I use them only on the rear axle?

Technically it is possible, but to achieve consistent and predictable sliding behaviour, it is recommended to fit all 4 tyres. Mixing compounds between axles can lead to unpredictable handling.

Can they be used in club races or only for recreational use?

They can be used in club races as long as all participants fit the same type of tyre. In fact, organising a themed race with ICE-1 on all cars is one of the most fun ways to enjoy them in a group.

How many units are included in the pack?

The CXM047 pack includes 4 ICE-1 tyres, enough to fully equip a slot car.

The ICE-1 slot car tyres (ref. CXM047) are a set of 4 low-grip compound tyres designed to simulate ice driving in slot racing. Compatible with rims of 15.5 mm diameter or larger, they deliver controlled oversteer and spectacular slides on any standard slot track. Perfect for themed winter races, training sessions, or simply adding a new dimension of fun and challenge to your club nights. A must-try for any slot enthusiast looking to push driving technique to the limit.
