RAID Protrack 23x9 Tyres for Dirty Track: Grip Where It Matters Most
When the track is not in perfect condition or the competition format requires running on surfaces with dust, mud, or accumulated dirt, the choice of tyre makes the difference between controlling the car and losing it in every corner. These four RAID tyres in size 23x9 are formulated under the Protrack line specifically for that scenario.
Main Features
- Size: 23x9
- Line: Protrack, aimed at dirty track conditions
- Contents: 4 tyres per pack
- Reference: CXM008
Function and Performance
The RAID Protrack tyres are designed to provide grip on surfaces where a conventional soft rubber tyre would quickly lose effectiveness. The compound and the 23x9 profile allow for stable behaviour on track when the level of dirt is high, something common in heavily used circuits or during long competition sessions.
Mounting and Preparation
As with any slot tyre, it is advisable to check the concentricity before mounting. A small imbalance can translate into vibration at high speeds, especially on long straights. If you use a preparation lathe, a slight turning helps ensure uniform contact with the track. The 23x9 size is compatible with most standard slot car rims, although we recommend verifying compatibility with your specific rim before installation.
Ideal for…
- Practice sessions on circuits with dust accumulation or rubber debris.
- RAID or rally format in slot, where track variability is part of the challenge.
- Enthusiasts looking for a tyre that is more resistant to wear in adverse conditions.
