4 Raid tyres

Raid Tyres 28x10 Squared: square tread for dominating dirt and snow

This pack includes 4 Raid tyres in size 28x10 with a Squared profile (square tread). The square geometry and height of the tread are key to its design: each block acts like a small shovel that continuously clears snow and dirt, maintaining contact between the tyre and the track in conditions where a smooth profile would simply slip.

Features and highlights

• Size: 28x10 — standard format for Raid and off-road slot cars.
• Squared Profile: high square tread that maximises the evacuation of loose particles (dirt, dust, simulated snow).
• Pack of 4 units, sufficient to equip a complete car.
• Reference CXM015.

Function and performance

In Raid and off-road rally disciplines at scale, the choice of tyre has a direct impact on the car's behaviour. The square tread generates a more aggressive footprint and a greater volume of voids between blocks, resulting in better traction on loose or uneven surfaces. Compared to rounded tread profiles or slick tyres, the Squared gains grip in adverse conditions at the expense of a somewhat rougher ride on clean asphalt, which is completely logical for the category it is aimed at.

Compatibility and fitting

The size 28x10 is common for the rear wheels of 1/32 and 1/24 scale Raid slot cars, although it is always advisable to check the inner diameter of the wheel before fitting. The fit should be firm but without forcing the rubber to avoid compromising concentricity. If the tyre has some play, a small application of glue in the contact area between wheel and tyre will ensure a smooth and vibration-free rotation.

Ideal for…

• Raid, off-road rally and all-terrain scale slot cars.
• Dirt tracks, dusty surfaces or surfaces simulating snow.
• Preparers looking to stand out in traction on unpaved surfaces.

Considerations

This tyre is optimised for loose surfaces. On asphalt or smooth plastic tracks, the square tread may reduce the useful contact area and affect cornering behaviour. For such layouts, a slick or low tread profile will be more suitable. Each discipline demands its tyre.

Frequently asked questions

How many units are included in the pack?

The pack contains 4 tyres, which is necessary to equip a complete car at all four contact points.

What type of track are these tyres designed for?

They are designed for loose surfaces: dirt, dust and snow. The square and high tread works best the more irregular or loose the surface is.

Do they work well on asphalt or plastic tracks?

It is not their natural terrain. On smooth surfaces, the Squared profile reduces the contact footprint and may diminish grip. For asphalt, we recommend slick or low-profile tyres.

How do I correctly fit these tyres onto the wheel?

First, check that the inner diameter matches the wheel. The fit should be firm; if there is play, a small dot of glue in the contact area ensures concentricity and prevents vibrations during use.

Do I need to sand or true them before using?

It is not mandatory, but a slight truing around 0 improves concentricity and track behaviour, especially if competitive performance is sought.
