Real traction from the first lap: the Raid 25x10 Traction Plus come in a pack of 4 units
The tyre is one of the most critical contact points between the car and the track, and these Raid 25x10 Traction Plus know this well. Their asymmetric design is not just an aesthetic detail: it is intended to better distribute the load in areas of higher friction and improve cornering behaviour without sacrificing stability on straights.
Main features
- Size: 25x10 — a versatile size that fits a wide range of competitive and recreational slot cars.
- Traction Plus profile: specifically designed to maximise grip and traction efficiency.
- Asymmetric design: the tyre geometry favours traction and response during transitions from braking to acceleration.
- Pack of 4 units: enough to fully equip a car with a new and complete set.
Function and performance
In slot racing, the rubber is the first element that defines how much of the motor's power is actually transformed into movement on the track. The Raid Traction Plus leverage their asymmetric profile to provide a more effective contact patch, resulting in cleaner corner exits and less tendency to slip on plastic or braid surfaces.
Compatibility and mounting
The size 25x10 is common in 1/32 scale cars with standard rear axles. Before mounting, it is advisable to check that the axle diameter and wheel width are compatible with these measurements. A correct fit ensures smooth running and avoids vibrations that could affect the car's behaviour.
Preparation and tuning
To get the best performance from these tyres, it is advisable to true them once mounted on the wheel, ensuring that the diameter is perfectly uniform around the entire perimeter. A gentle sanding with fine-grit paper helps to open up the surface of the compound and improve grip from the first laps. The application of additional grip treatment is at the discretion of the driver and the regulations of the championship in which they compete.
Ideal for…
- Drivers looking to upgrade the rear end of their car with a traction profile tyre.
- Club competitors needing a reliable and predictable replacement.
- Enthusiasts wanting to improve the traction of their cars without changing the overall chassis configuration.
Frequently asked questions
How many units are included in the pack?
The pack includes 4 tyres, enough to fully equip a slot car with a new set.
What does the asymmetric design mean in a slot tyre?
The asymmetric design means that the tyre profile is not the same on both sides. This allows the contact area to work differently depending on the load side, favouring traction and stability in corners.
Is it necessary to true the tyres before using them?
It is not strictly mandatory, but it is highly recommended to ensure that the diameter is perfectly uniform and that the contact surface is homogeneous. Truing improves performance from the very first moment.
What wheel should these tyres be used with?
With any wheel whose inner diameter and outer width are compatible with the 25x10 measurements. Always check the dimensions of your wheel before mounting.
