Four Needle Peak CXM006 Tyres: Traction Where You Need It Most

The set of 4 Needle Peak tyres with reference CXM006 is designed for use on loose surfaces: dirt tracks and areas with light snow. Its tread pattern, oriented for loose terrain, allows for maintaining contact and steering control of the car in conditions where a slick or semi-slick tyre would lose effectiveness.

Main Features

• Set of 4 units: equip your car completely with a single order.
• Needle Peak profile: tread designed to evacuate dirt and take advantage of the minimal cohesion of compacted snow.
• Reference CXM006, facilitates exact replacement without catalogue confusion.
• Recommended application: dirt track and surfaces with light snow or mixed conditions.

Function and Performance

On dirt surfaces, the rubber needs a compound and tread capable of gripping the terrain without becoming muddy. The Needle Peak profile operates in that intermediate range: enough grip to avoid uncontrolled sliding, with just the right flexibility to absorb the irregularities of the surface. In light snow scenarios, the same tread helps to break through the surface layer and support on the underlying firm ground.

Mounting and Preparation

Before mounting, check that the outer diameter and width of the tyre are compatible with your rim and the wheel arch of your body. A well-centred tyre without eccentricity significantly improves straight-line stability and cornering response. If using a truing lathe, work at low speed to avoid generating excessive heat that could deform the compound.

Common Mistakes

• Mounting all-terrain profile tyres on smooth or carpet tracks: grip is drastically reduced and uneven wear is greater.
• Not checking eccentricity after mounting: a small deviation on dirt is amplified by the movement of the surface itself.
• Using aggressive solvents to clean the rubber: they can alter the compound and reduce the tyre's lifespan.

Ideal for…

Enthusiasts who compete or run on dirt or outdoor tracks with changing conditions, and who need a spare tyre or direct replacement with reference CXM006. Also for those preparing a specific set of wheels for loose track and want to have the car ready for any condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this set include 4 tyres or 2?

The pack includes 4 tyres, enough to equip all four wheels of a car.

Are they suitable for carpet or plastic tracks?

No. The Needle Peak profile is optimised for dirt and surfaces with light snow. On carpet or plastic, performance and grip will be inferior to that of a tyre specifically designed for indoor tracks.

Do I need to true these tyres before using them?

It is not mandatory, but if you are looking for maximum performance and a perfectly uniform footprint, passing them through the truing lathe always helps, especially in competition.

What glue should I use for mounting?

Generally, low-viscosity cyanoacrylate is used, applied in small amounts inside the tyre, on the rim. Allow to cure well before running.

How do I know if the diameter is compatible with my car?

Check the specifications of your rim and compare them with the tyre measurements. If you have doubts, contact us and we will help you confirm compatibility.
