Raid Poker tyre 19x8

The Mitoos Raid Poker 19x8 Tyre: Specific Measurements for Specific Performance

When it comes to tuning in slot racing, tyres are one of the factors that most influence the car's behaviour. An incorrect profile or a size that does not fit the intended rim diameter can ruin hours of preparation. The Mitoos Raid Poker 19x8 Tyre (ref. CXM198) is designed to prevent precisely that: to offer the correct size with the appropriate profile for Raid category cars.

Tyre Features

• Measurements: 19 mm diameter × 8 mm width.
• Profile: Poker, designed to maximise the contact surface with the track and maintain uniform grip.
• Reference: CXM198.
• Brand: Mitoos, specialist in spare parts and accessories for competitive slot racing.

Function and Performance

The Poker profile is characterised by a relatively flat tread that favours lateral stability and clean contact with the track surface. In Raid categories, where cars often require wider tyres to compensate for the weight distribution of 4x4s and off-road saloons, the 8 mm width of this model provides a solid grip base without compromising cornering speed.

The 19 mm diameter allows for a balanced gear ratio, without losing acceleration on the straights or having to strain the motor in slow sections.

Mounting and Preparation

Before mounting the tyres, it is advisable to check that the inner diameter fits your car's rim. Once fitted, it is recommended to slightly true them with a truing lathe if maximum concentricity is sought, especially in club racing environments where tenths of a second matter. A smooth surface well supported on the track makes a difference in the consistency of laps.

Compatibility and Recommended Use

This tyre is aimed at Mitoos Raid category slot cars, although it can be adapted to other models with rims that accept these measurements. Always check the inner diameter of the tyre and the outer diameter of your rim before mounting to ensure compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the "Poker" profile mean in a slot tyre?

The Poker profile describes the geometry of the tread: a relatively flat and wide contact area that maximises the adhesion surface with the track and provides stability, especially on wooden tracks or well-laid plastic circuits.

Is it necessary to true the tyres after mounting?

In recreational use, it is not essential, but for club racing, it is recommended to perform a truing — machining with a lathe — to ensure that all tyres have exactly the same diameter and contact uniformly with the track. It improves consistency from lap to lap.

How many tyres are included in reference CXM198?
