4 Micro-Peak Tyres 20x11

The Micro-Peak 20X11 Tyres CXM087: four units to keep your car at its best

In slot racing, tyres are one of the factors that most influence a car's behaviour, whether in recreational sessions or club championships. Wear is inevitable, and having spares like the Micro-Peak 20X11 (ref. CXM087) allows you to maintain grip and steering response in optimal conditions without wasting time searching for compatible sizes.

This pack includes 4 tyres with dimensions of 20×11, a common size in small-scale cars where wheel arch space is tight and every tenth of a millimetre counts.

Features and Function

• Micro-Peak Profile: tread design with defined contact, aimed at providing consistent and predictable grip on track.
• Size 20×11: diameter of 20 mm and width of 11 mm, suitable for mounting on rear axles of small-scale slot cars.
• Pack of 4 units: allows equipping a complete axle with a margin for spares, or renewing both axles of two cars.
• Reference CXM087: clear identification to facilitate error-free restocking.

Installation and Preparation

Mounting tyres on slot cars is a straightforward operation but deserves attention. Before installing the Micro-Peak 20X11, it is advisable to check that the inner diameter of the tyre fits correctly onto the rim used. A fit that is too loose can cause the tyre to slip on the rim under hard acceleration; one that is overly tight can distort the profile and reduce useful contact with the track.

Once mounted, it is recommended to true the tyres on the car itself to ensure concentricity and eliminate any eccentricity that may affect cornering stability. Even new tyres can gain several hundredths per lap with this step.

Common Mistakes When Changing Slot Tyres

• Mixing tyres from different batches or conditions on the same axle: causes imbalance and drift in corners.
• Not cleaning the rim before mounting: residue from adhesive or dirt alters centring.
• Omitting truing: especially critical on wooden or carpet tracks, where dimensional precision matters more.

Ideal for…

Club racers needing reliable spares for training sessions, enthusiasts wanting to keep several cars in top condition without relying on hard-to-find sizes, or preparers managing their team's stock. The Micro-Peak 20X11 are a clear and direct replacement reference.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many units are included in the pack?

The pack contains 4 Micro-Peak tyres with a size of 20×11.

What do the measurements 20X11 mean in a slot tyre?

The first number (20) indicates the outer diameter in millimetres and the second (11) the total width of the tyre, also in millimetres. These are the two key dimensions to verify compatibility with the rim and the car's wheel arch.

Is it necessary to true the tyres after mounting?

It is not mandatory, but highly recommended. Truing ensures that all points of the tyre contact the track uniformly, eliminating small eccentricities that translate into vibrations or instability, especially at high speeds.

What adhesive is recommended for securing the tyre to the rim?

It depends on the use: for competition, it is common to work with a press fit or a minimal drop of fine cyanoacrylate. For recreational use, a press fit is usually sufficient if the tyre is well-sized. Avoid excessive adhesive that may misalign the assembly.

How often should tyres be changed on a slot car?

It depends on the type of track and frequency of use. On carpet tracks, wear is greater than on plastic. A good sign that it is time to change them is when the car starts to lose traction progressively or when irregular wear marks appear on the tread.

The Micro-Peak 20X11 tyres (ref. CXM087) are a reliable slot car replacement tyre option for scale racing enthusiasts. With a 20 mm outer diameter and 11 mm width, this pack of 4 units suits small-scale slot cars and provides consistent grip on plastic, wood and carpet tracks. A straightforward, no-guesswork restock for club racers and home hobbyists alike.
