4 S4 tyres

Four S4 tyres ready to fit and feel the difference from the first lap

Tyres are one of the most critical adjustment points in any slot car. A worn or unsuitable compound can ruin the balance of a perfectly prepared chassis, while the right tyre transforms cornering response and acceleration traction. These four S4 tyres (ref. CXM004) are designed for those who do not want to leave anything to chance in their setup.

Function and performance

The S4 tyre offers a stable contact patch with the track, resulting in predictable behaviour on both home circuits and club tracks. By renewing all four tyres at once, the grip balance between the front and rear axles is maintained, avoiding asymmetrical behaviours that are difficult to correct with adjustments.

• Pack of 4 units for a complete replacement of the running gear.
• Reference CXM004: easy to locate for future replenishments.
• Compound aimed at providing constant grip on track.
• Direct fit onto the axles without special tools.

Installation and preparation

Before fitting the tyres, it is advisable to clean the rims with a dry cloth to remove any grease or dust that may compromise the rubber's adhesion. Once fitted, it is recommended to lightly turn the tyres if a preparation lathe is available, to ensure a perfectly uniform circumference and eliminate any vibrations in a straight line. This step, although optional for recreational use, makes a noticeable difference in club competition.

Compatibilities

To confirm the exact compatibility with your model (inner diameter, outer diameter, and width), consult the manufacturer's technical sheet or contact our team. At Ministry of Hobby, we advise you to choose the tyre that fits your rim and your driving style.

Common mistakes

• Mixing new tyres with used ones on the same axle: creates diameter differences that unbalance the car.
• Applying lubricant directly onto the tread: significantly reduces grip.
• Not turning after fitting: even new tyres can have slight diameter differences between them.

Frequently asked questions

How many units are included in this pack?

The pack contains 4 S4 tyres under reference CXM004.

Is it necessary to turn the tyres before using them?

For recreational use, it is not essential, but for club competition, it is advisable to turn them to ensure a uniform diameter across all of them and eliminate possible vibrations in a straight line.

What track systems are compatible with cars fitted with these tyres?

The tyre compatibility does not depend on the track system but on the dimensions of the car's rim. Check the dimensions before fitting.

Can I replace only the tyres on the rear axle?

Technically yes, but it is preferable to replace all four at once to maintain the grip balance between both axles and avoid irregular behaviours in corners.

How do I know when it's time to change the tyres?

When the car starts to slide more than usual, loses traction on acceleration, or vibrations are detected, it is a sign that the tyres are worn and should be renewed.

The S4 slot car tyres (ref. CXM004) deliver consistent grip and stable handling for both club racing and home track use. This set of 4 replacement tyres is an essential part of any slot car setup routine, ensuring balanced traction across both axles. Compatible with a wide range of 1:32 and 1:24 slot cars, these tyres are a must-have for any hobbyist looking to maintain peak performance on Scalextric, Scaleauto, Ninco or Carrera tracks. Available at Ministry of Hobby, your specialist slot car and hobby shop.
