4 S1 Tyres (ref. CXM001): Real Grip on Asphalt

When grip makes the difference between maintaining the racing line or going off in a demanding corner, tyre choice matters. These 4 S1 tyres are designed to perform on asphalt surfaces, offering high adhesion and stable contact with the track, resulting in greater control and consistency lap after lap.

Main Features

• High Grip: compound aimed at maximizing traction on asphalt, reducing slip during acceleration and braking.
• Asphalt Surface: specifically formulated for this type of track, where adhesion and compound durability are key.
• Pack Format of 4: the pack includes 4 tyres, enough to equip a complete car.

Function and Performance

A high-grip tyre on asphalt performs best when the surface is clean and the car is well-balanced. The S1 compound is designed to create a contact patch that maximizes the characteristics of the asphalt, providing stability both on straights and in tight corners. This is particularly noticeable during long sessions, where grip consistency helps maintain regular lap times.

Mounting and Preparation

Before mounting the tyres, it is advisable to check that the rims are clean and well-centred to ensure even rolling. A light sanding with fine sandpaper after mounting can help round the profile and improve the contact patch with the track from the first lap. Also, ensure that the guide pressure and chassis adjustment do not create uneven support on the tyres.

Ideal for…

Club enthusiasts and competitors who regularly race on asphalt tracks and seek a high-grip tyre to maximize the performance of their slot car without complicated preparation.

Considerations

The optimal performance of any high-grip tyre largely depends on the condition of the track and the overall setup of the car. On very polished surfaces or those with silicone residue, behaviour may vary. We recommend cleaning the track before each session to maintain grip at its peak.

Frequently Asked Questions
