Slot.it Racing N22 Compound Tyres: Traction and Consistency for Serious Competition
Slot.it has been an undisputed reference in the world of competitive slot racing for decades, and its range of Racing tyres is a true reflection of that philosophy: components designed for those who are not satisfied with what comes as standard. The N22 compound is one of its reference formulations, aimed at providing a balance between grip and durability that is highly appreciated in both long club sessions and technical preparation environments.
Features and Function
The term compound refers to the chemical formulation of the rubber used to manufacture the tyre. In competitive slot racing, choosing the correct compound can make the difference between a car that slides in corners and one that tracks accurately. The N22 is a blend that Slot.it has specifically developed for its Racing range, seeking a consistent response on different types of track surfaces.
- N22 compound from Slot.it's Racing range.
- Designed to provide consistent grip and predictable behaviour.
- Manufactured to the quality standards and dimensional precision typical of Slot.it.
- Reference: SIPT1171N22.
Compatibility and Mounting
Slot.it manufactures its tyres with precise measurements designed to fit its own wheels and chassis, although their use can extend to other platforms compatible in dimensions. Before mounting them, it is advisable to verify that the diameter and width of the tyre correspond to the wheel you will be using. A correct mounting, with the tyre perfectly centred and without play, is essential to take full advantage of the compound's potential.
If you are one of those who turn the tyres before competing, the N22 responds well to a gentle grind that ensures perfect roundness and maximises the contact surface with the track.
On-Track Behaviour
The N22 compound is designed for those seeking a tyre with a clear grip point and controlled wear. It is not an ultra-soft compound that wears quickly in intense sessions, but rather a commitment to consistency: the car behaves similarly in the first stint as it does in the last, making it easier to find the right setup and maintain it throughout the competition.
Ideal for…
- Club competitors looking for a reliable and low-maintenance tyre.
- Preparers wanting a solid base on which to adjust the car's setup.
- Drivers racing on Sport rail tracks (Scaleauto, Slot.it) who need a component that matches their chassis.
Considerations
As with any competition tyre, the final performance also depends on the condition of the track, the cleanliness of the wheels, and the weight of the car. We recommend degreasing them before the first use and, if the track allows, giving them a few warm-up laps before pushing them to the limit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the N22 code mean on Slot.it tyres?
N22 identifies the compound formulation used in the tyre's manufacture. Each compound code corresponds to a different chemical composition that determines characteristics such as hardness, grip, and durability.
Can I use these tyres on chassis from other brands?
It is possible as long as the dimensions (diameter and width) are compatible with the wheels you will be using. Check the measurements before placing your order to ensure the correct fit.
Is it advisable to turn these tyres before competing?
In serious competition, yes. A gentle grind ensures perfect roundness of the tyre and maximises contact with the track, improving grip and stability of the car.
How many units are included in the product?
The quantity included in this pack is indicated in the product reference itself. If you have any doubts, please consult us before placing your order.
What type of track are they most suitable for?
Due to their Slot.it origin, they fit particularly well in track environments with Sport rail, such as those commonly used in competitions with Scaleauto or Slot.it, although their use is not restricted to that system.

Information Not Found
It has not been possible to verify with certainty the exact measurements (diameter and width) of these tyres nor the specific wheel models for which they are designed, as we do not have a detailed technical sheet for the reference SIPT1171N22 at the time of writing this document. We recommend consulting the official Slot.it website or contacting us to confirm the exact compatibility with your setup.
