Slide, control and enjoy: the ICE-2 tyres bring frozen chaos to your track
The pack 4 NEUM ICE-2 (CXM048) includes four ice effect tyres designed for those who want to add a touch of controlled chaos to their slot sessions. Its low-grip compound mimics behaviour on an icy surface, turning every corner into a skill exercise and every straight into an opportunity to showcase driving prowess with the controller.
Function and performance
The concept behind the ICE-2 tyres is simple yet highly effective: drastically reduce grip to force the driver to anticipate traction loss, manage sliding, and regain the racing line before their rivals. The result is a radically different driving experience compared to conventional rubber tyres, ideal for themed sessions, skill tests, or simply to break the routine on club nights.
Compatibility
- Designed for rims of 16.5 mm diameter or larger.
- The pack contains 4 tyres, sufficient to equip a complete car.
- Check the inner diameter before mounting to ensure a proper fit on the rim.
Mounting and preparation
Mounting does not require special tools: simply place the tyre on the rim, taking care not to damage the lip. Once mounted, there is no need to treat the rubber with grip additives, as its own compound generates the ice effect. If you want to accentuate the sliding even more, a clean and dust-free track surface will enhance its behaviour.
Ideal for…
- Drift sessions or themed races on club tracks.
- Drivers who want to train oversteer management and improve their driving technique.
- Skill tournaments where the differential challenge makes a difference.
- Recreational enthusiasts looking for a twist to their usual races.
Aspects to consider
As this is a very low-grip tyre, the adaptation time may be high if you are used to competition rubber. Start at moderate speeds to familiarise yourself with the locking point and your car's behaviour before fully opening the controller. Also, keep in mind that wear may differ from that of a conventional tyre depending on the type of track and surface.
Frequently asked questions
How many tyres are included in the pack?
The CXM048 pack includes 4 ICE-2 tyres, covering the four points of a standard slot car.
What rim size are they designed for?
They are compatible with rims of 16.5 mm diameter or larger. Always check the diameter of your rim before mounting.
Can they be used in official competition?
It depends on your club or championship regulations. Due to their low-grip nature, they are generally used in recreational sessions, skill tests, or special formats, not in standard time competitions.
Do I need to treat these tyres with grip additive?
No. The ICE effect is precisely based on the absence of grip. Applying an additive would nullify its purpose and could alter the compound.
Do they perform the same on any type of track?
The sliding behaviour is best appreciated on clean plastic tracks (Scalextric, Ninco, Carrera…). On wooden tracks with a rougher surface, the effect may vary slightly.
The CXM048 pack contains 4 ICE-2 effect tyres for slot cars, designed to dramatically reduce grip and simulate driving on ice. Compatible with rims of 16.5 mm diameter or larger, these low-traction tyres are perfect for drift-style slot racing, skill challenges, and club nights where controlled slides and car balance become the real test of a driver's ability. A fun and technical addition to any slot car setup.
