S2 Tyres

Sloting Plus S2 Tyres: Precision Replacement in Size 18x10mm

The Sloting Plus S2 tyres (reference SLPLM-S2) are a replacement designed for those who pay attention to every detail in the preparation of their slot cars. With a size of 18x10mm, they offer a direct fit and a consistent geometry that allows for predictable behaviour on track, both in practice sessions and club competitions.

Function and Performance

The tyre is one of the elements that most influences the dynamics of a slot car. A set in good condition ensures uniform contact with the track, reduces sliding in corners, and improves the power transmission from the motor to the rail. The S2s are conceived as a direct replacement to maintain that level of response without the need for additional adjustments.

Compatibility and Fitting

The size 18x10mm is common in a wide variety of 1/32 scale slot cars. Before fitting, it is advisable to check the rim diameter of the vehicle to ensure the correct fit. Sloting Plus is a brand specialised in replacement parts and preparation tools, so their tyres are designed with tolerances aimed at real track use.

• Size: 18x10mm
• Reference: SLPLM-S2
• Brand: Sloting Plus
• Application: replacement for 1/32 slot cars

Fitting and Preparation

To get the most out of new tyres, it is recommended to clean the rim before fitting, centre it properly, and if greater grip is desired, apply a light layer of compatible tyre treatment or adhesive. A slight sanding or turning can help balance the diameter and improve contact with the track if the application is more demanding.

Common Mistakes

The most common mistake is fitting tyres without checking if they are properly centred on the rim, which causes vibrations and irregular behaviour. It is also common to replace only one of the two tyres on the rear axle: it is always preferable to renew the complete pair to maintain symmetrical traction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What scale are these tyres intended for?

The size 18x10mm is characteristic of slot cars in 1/32 scale, although the most important thing is to check the inner diameter of the specific car's rim before fitting.

Can I use them on universal track (Scalextric, Ninco) and sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it)?

The tyres do not depend on the type of track, but on the car's rim. They are compatible with any track system as long as the vehicle has the appropriate rim for this size.

How often should I replace the tyres on a slot car?

It depends on usage and the type of track. Generally, when a loss of grip, uneven wear, or cracks or deformations in the tyre are noticed, it is time to renew them. Keeping them in good condition directly affects the car's performance.

Is it necessary to treat the tyres to improve grip?

It is not mandatory, but many enthusiasts and club competitors apply a specific treatment to maximise adhesion. It is a common practice in slot preparation and can make a difference on plastic tracks.
