4 Semi-slick Tyres 19x10

Four semi-slick tyres 19X10 to get the most out of your slot car

When track performance depends on tenths, the choice of tyre makes a difference. This pack includes 4 semi-slick tyres in size 19X10 (reference CXM084), designed for drivers seeking serious grip without sacrificing drivability. The semi-slick profile represents the midpoint between a street tyre with tread and a pure racing slick: lower rolling resistance, greater contact area, and more predictable behaviour under braking.

Function and performance

The semi-slick compound works well on both plastic tracks and synthetic surfaces, offering notable grip without the extreme compromise of a pure slick. The size 19X10 (19 mm diameter and 10 mm width) is a common format in 1/32 scale slot cars with wide rear axles, allowing for clean contact with the track without rubbing against wheel arches or bodywork.

Being semi-slick, they retain a slight surface texture that helps distribute pressure better in fast corners, reducing the risk of sudden traction loss. This makes them especially useful in long club sessions where the track may vary in behaviour throughout the race.

Compatibility

The size 19X10 is compatible with a wide variety of standard wide rear rims commonly found in 1/32 scale slot cars. Before mounting, it is advisable to check the inner diameter of the tyre against the outer diameter of the rim to ensure a precise fit, as a loose fit affects performance and an overly tight fit can deform the compound.

The pack includes 4 units, allowing you to equip a complete axle and have a spare pair or work with two different configurations for testing on track.

Mounting and preparation

For optimal mounting, it is recommended to place the tyre on the rim at room temperature and, if the fit is tight, to slightly heat the rubber to facilitate its expansion. Once mounted, many preparers perform a truing sanding to equalise the exact diameter of both wheels and ensure that the car does not pull to one side when accelerating. This step, while not mandatory, makes a noticeable difference in competition-prepared cars.

Ideal for…

• Club drivers looking for greater grip without losing control on corner exits.
• Preparers wanting a versatile compound option for different types of track.
• Enthusiasts making the leap from standard tyres to the world of semi-slicks for the first time.
• Competitors needing quick replacements between heats without altering the setup.

Points to consider

The performance of any semi-slick tyre also depends on the condition of the track and the exact compound of the rubber. We recommend always doing a few warm-up laps before pushing the pace: the compound needs to reach its working temperature to perform consistently. Store them in a cool place, away from direct light and solvents, to prolong their lifespan.

Frequently asked questions

How many units does this pack include?

The pack includes 4 semi-slick tyres in size 19X10.

What is the difference between a semi-slick and a pure slick?

A semi-slick retains a slight surface texture that provides greater progression in grip, especially useful in fast corners or on tracks with varying adhesion. A pure slick offers maximum contact area but requires more temperature and a more precise setup to perform well.

What rims are these tyres compatible with?

They are compatible with rear rims whose outer diameter matches the inner size of the 19X10 tyre. This size is common in 1/32 scale cars with wide rear wheel profiles. Always check the measurements of your rim before mounting.

Is it necessary to do truing after mounting them?

It is not mandatory, but highly recommended for competition-prepared cars. Truing equalises the diameter of both wheels and ensures uniform rolling, which improves stability and response during acceleration.

How should I store the tyres I am not using?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals or solvents. Proper storage significantly prolongs the lifespan of the compound.

Are they suitable for both plastic and synthetic tracks?

Yes. The semi-slick profile offers balanced performance on both types of surface, although the specific conditions of each track (cleanliness, temperature, type of material) always influence the final grip.

The CXM084 semi-slick tyres in 19X10 size are a reliable upgrade for 1/32 scale slot car racing. Designed to deliver consistent grip and a balanced contact patch, they suit both club racing and home track enthusiasts looking to improve traction without going full slick. Compatible with a wide range of standard wide rear rims, these four-piece tyre sets are an essential addition to any slot car preparation kit.
