Four grooved tyres 19x10 to keep your slot car always race-ready
Tyres are one of the most important consumables in the slot racing world: they directly influence grip, cornering stability, and the overall response of the car on the track. This pack includes 4 grooved tyres in size 19x10 (reference CXM088), ready to replace worn originals or to experiment with different tread configurations.
Main features
- Quantity: 4 tyres per pack.
- Dimensions: 19 mm diameter x 10 mm width.
- Tread type: grooved (with pattern/stripes), which aid in dust evacuation and improve contact with the track on certain surfaces.
- Reference: CXM088.
Function and performance
Grooved tyres feature a pattern on their surface that, unlike slicks, distributes contact better on tracks with some accumulated dirt or more irregular surfaces. They are a common choice among enthusiasts seeking more consistent performance throughout the session, especially when the track is not in optimal cleaning conditions.
The size 19x10 is compatible with a wide range of 1/32 scale bodies and rear axles, although we recommend always checking the exact axle measurement and wheel well of your car before fitting.
Installation and preparation
Installation is straightforward: remove the worn tyres from the wheels, fit the new ones ensuring they are centred and free of lateral play, and check that the diameter is uniform around the circumference. If you use glue to secure them, apply a minimal amount and allow to dry completely before running. A light sanding with fine sandpaper can help to homogenise the diameter once fitted.
Compatibility
As a generic replacement in standard size 19x10, it can be adapted to cars from various brands as long as the wheel can accommodate that size. We recommend checking the specifications of your specific model before placing an order.
Ideal for…
- Enthusiasts looking for quick and economical maintenance spares.
- Club preparers testing different types of tread.
- Tracks with some dust or heavy use where slicks lose grip sooner.
Frequently asked questions
How many tyres are included in this pack?
The pack includes 4 grooved tyres in size 19x10.
What is the difference between a grooved tyre and a slick?
Slick tyres offer a larger contact surface on clean and well-prepared tracks, which usually translates to more grip under ideal conditions. Grooved tyres, having stripes on the tread, maintain a more stable performance when the track accumulates dust or dirt, as the grooves help manage that intermediate layer better.
Are they compatible with any slot car brand?
It depends on the inner diameter of your car's wheel. The outer size is 19x10, but it is essential to verify that the inside of the tyre fits correctly on the wheel you are using. Always check the specifications of your model.
Do I need to glue the tyres to the wheel?
In most cases, a small amount of glue is recommended to prevent the tyre from shifting during the race, but it is not always essential. It depends on the fit between the tyre and the specific wheel you are using.
Is it necessary to true the tyres after fitting?
It is not mandatory, but truing or lightly sanding the tyres after fitting helps ensure a perfectly uniform diameter, which reduces vibrations and improves the car's stability on the track.
The CXM088 set includes 4 grooved slot car tyres measuring 19x10 mm, a standard size widely used in 1/32 scale slot racing. Grooved tyres provide consistent grip on dusty or less-than-perfect track surfaces, making them a reliable choice for club racers and hobbyists alike. Easy to fit, these replacement tyres help restore traction and keep your slot car performing at its best.
