4 Raid tyres

Raid 28x10 Traction Plus Tyres: asymmetric design for improved traction in every corner

This pack includes 4 Raid tyres with a size of 28x10 featuring the Traction Plus nomenclature, developed with an asymmetric profile that enhances track contact and improves acceleration response. A replacement solution designed for those who fine-tune and prepare their slot car with precision.

Main features

• Size: 28x10
• Asymmetric design aimed at maximising traction
• Pack of 4 units
• Reference: CXM017

Function and performance

The asymmetric design of the Traction Plus is not just an aesthetic detail: the asymmetry in the tyre tread allows each area of the profile to work differently according to its position on the axle, resulting in a larger effective contact surface and better traction response, especially when exiting corners.

The size 28x10 places them within the usual range for rear axles of 1/32 scale slot cars, although it is advisable to verify compatibility with the rim diameter before installation.

Installation and preparation

For optimal performance, it is recommended to true the tyres on a truing lathe once mounted on the rim, ensuring perfect concentricity that eliminates any vibration at high speeds. A well-centred and trued tyre makes a real difference in the car's stability.

Also pay attention to the mounting direction: as it is an asymmetric design, install each tyre respecting the orientation indicated by the manufacturer to maximise the compound's properties.

Ideal for…

Club enthusiasts and competitors looking for a replacement tyre with enhanced grip compared to standard tyres. The Traction Plus profile is particularly interesting on tracks where traction out of corners is crucial for achieving good lap times.

Considerations

• Verify that the size 28x10 is compatible with your car's rims before placing the order.
• Respect the mounting orientation of the asymmetric design.
• Truing after installation is recommended for perfect concentricity.

Frequently asked questions

How many units are included in the pack?

The pack contains 4 Raid 28x10 Traction Plus tyres.

What does the asymmetric design mean in a slot tyre?

An asymmetric design means that the tyre profile is not the same across its width. Each area is optimised for a specific function, which in practice translates to better grip utilisation depending on the tyre's position on the axle.

Is it necessary to true these tyres after installation?

It is not mandatory, but highly recommended. Truing on a lathe ensures that the tyre spins perfectly centred, eliminating vibrations and ensuring uniform contact with the track throughout the entire rolling surface.

How do I know if the size 28x10 is compatible with my car?

Check the inner diameter of the tyre and the width of your car's rear rim. The size 28x10 is common in many 1/32 scale models, but it is always advisable to cross-check with your vehicle manufacturer's specifications.

Is it important to respect the mounting orientation?

Yes. As it is an asymmetric design tyre, mounting it in the wrong direction can negate the traction advantages for which it was designed. Refer to the manufacturer's indication before securing it to the rim.

The Raid 28x10 Traction Plus tyres (ref. CXM017) are a set of 4 asymmetric slot car tyres designed to enhance rear traction and grip. Their 28x10 size makes them a practical replacement tyre for 1/32 scale slot cars. Ideal for club racers and hobby enthusiasts looking to improve acceleration out of corners, these slot car tyres are a reliable upgrade for rear axle setups. Compatible with standard 28mm diameter rims — always verify fitment before ordering.
