Raid Tyres 25x9 Needle Peak: large dimensions for the most demanding conditions
When the track gets dirty and conventional grip disappears, the choice of tyre makes the difference between finishing the heat or losing control. These four Needle Peak tyres in size 25x9, reference CXM011, are specifically designed for the Raid discipline in dirty track conditions, where a larger volume profile and a wide contact surface are required to ensure constant traction.
Function and features
- Size 25x9: generous dimensions that provide a contact footprint superior to that of standard competition tyres.
- Needle Peak design: specific profile for Raid, designed to work on surfaces with dust, dirt, or irregularities.
- Pack contents: 4 tyres per sales unit, sufficient to equip a complete car.
- Reference: CXM011.
Recommended applications
The Raid slot discipline reproduces in small scale the toughness of off-road tests: tracks with sand, dust, or accumulated dirt that greatly penalise conventional tyres. The Needle Peak profile is precisely designed for this scenario, offering predictable behaviour even when the lane is compromised.
They are particularly suitable for club categories where the regulations allow or require large dimension tyres, and for any Raid preparation that seeks to maintain grip without sacrificing durability over long sessions.
Mounting and preparation
Before mounting, it is advisable to check that the resulting outer diameter does not rub against the bodywork or fenders of the model. Given their generous size, some chassis may require a slight height adjustment or a review of the available clearance. A gentle deburring around with fine sandpaper allows for equalising the diameter of the four tyres and improving straight-line stability.
Frequently asked questions
How many tyres are included in the pack?
The CXM011 pack includes 4 Needle Peak tyres, just enough to equip a complete car.
What discipline are they designed for?
They are designed for the Raid slot discipline in dirty track conditions, where a larger volume of rubber and better contact with the surface is needed.
What is the exact size?
The size is 25x9. We recommend checking compatibility with your chassis and bodywork before mounting, especially if the clearance is tight.
Is it necessary to work on them before using them in competition?
It is not mandatory, but equalising the diameter of the four tyres by lightly passing them through a lathe or sanding them by hand improves stability and performance on track.
Are they compatible with any Raid rim?
Compatibility depends on the inner diameter of the rim you use on your model. Check the specifications of your rim before placing the order.
These slot car raid tyres — Needle Peak 25x9, reference CXM011 — are built for dirty track conditions where standard tyres lose grip. A set of 4 tyres designed for large-scale raid slot cars, ideal for club racing and off-road slot disciplines requiring maximum contact surface and consistent traction on dusty or uneven surfaces.
