S5 Tyres

S5 Tyres from Sloting Plus: size 18x10.5mm for precise tuning

The S5 tyres from Sloting Plus (reference SLPLM-S5) are a preparation replacement aimed at enthusiasts and competitors looking to maintain or improve the performance of their cars on track. With a size of 18x10.5mm, they fit rear mounts where that section is suitable for the chassis you are working on.

Function and performance

The rubber of the tyre is one of the elements that most influences the response of a slot car on the track. A tyre in good condition and with the appropriate hardness makes a difference in corner exits and stability on straights. The S5 from Sloting Plus meets that replacement need with a piece manufactured with regularity criteria, which helps maintain balance between both rear wheels once mounted.

Compatibility and mounting

With a diameter of 18mm and a width of 10.5mm, these tyres fit on rear rims compatible with that section. Before mounting them, it is advisable to check that the rim accommodates that width and that the chassis has sufficient interior space. Sloting Plus manufactures replacement parts and preparation and tuning tools, so these tyres are part of an ecosystem of components designed for enthusiasts who work on their cars in detail.

Preparation and tuning

To achieve the best result, it is recommended to:

• Check that both tyres on the rear axle have the same effective diameter after mounting, using a caliper or sanding them on a flat surface if necessary.
• Clean the rim before mounting to ensure good adhesion and centring.
• Check that there is no rubbing with the interior of the body once mounted.

Ideal for…

These tyres are designed for enthusiasts who repair or prepare their slot cars, both for recreational use at home and for club competition. If you use cars with compatible rear rims, the S5 are a direct replacement option without the need for additional modifications.

Aspects to consider

Sloting Plus does not manufacture power supplies or timing systems. Its catalogue focuses on replacement parts, preparation and tuning tools, and controllers. If you need to complete your workshop equipment, you will find other complementary parts to these tyres in their range.

Which rims are they compatible with?

They are compatible with rear rims that accommodate a width of 10.5mm and a diameter of 18mm. Check the specifications of your rim before mounting to ensure exact compatibility.

Do I need any special tools to mount them?

The tyre itself is independent of the track system. What determines compatibility is the rim of the car and the interior space of the chassis, not the type of track (universal or sport).
