Slot.it Slick C1 Tyres: Competition Rubber in 19x10.5 Size

The tyres are, along with the guide, the only point of contact between the car and the track, and they make the difference between a setup that simply rolls and one that truly competes. Slot.it knows this well, which is why their range of rubber is one of the most carefully crafted and valued in the hobby.

These tyres SIPT1152C1 correspond to the Slick C1 profile in 19 mm diameter × 10.5 mm width, designed according to the DWG 1152 plan. The C1 compound from Slot.it is one of the softest rubbers in their catalogue, translating to maximum grip on the track from the very first laps and a very stable footprint in fast sections.

C1 Compound Features

• Soft C1 Compound: high grip from the outset, without the need for a long break-in period.
• Slick Profile: smooth surface that maximises the contact area with the track and enhances traction.
• Size 19×10.5 mm: balanced dimensions for a wide variety of Slot.it competition setups.
• Pack of 4 units: sufficient to equip a complete car with identical tyres at all four contact points, or to have an immediate spare pair.
• DWG 1152 Reference: direct traceability with the official technical drawing from Slot.it, ensuring no surprises in fitting.

Function and Performance

The C1 compound stands out for its ability to generate grip immediately. This makes it a common choice for timed sessions at clubs or for setups aimed at top speed with a clean line. The slick texture eliminates any irregularities in the footprint and offers a very direct response to the throttle.

As it is a softer rubber, wear may be slightly higher than with harder compounds, which should be considered during long training sessions or in championships with many heats. For recreational use or club competition, its durability is more than sufficient, and the grip benefits far outweigh any downsides.

Installation and Preparation

The installation of these tyres follows the usual procedure of the Slot.it range: press fit onto the corresponding rim and subsequent turning with a tyre lathe to ensure perfect concentricity. A well-turned tyre eliminates vibrations and ensures that the entire rubber works uniformly on the track.

Before installing them, it is advisable to check that the rims are clean and free of adhesive residues from previous fittings. A couple of cleaning passes with adhesive tape on the new rubber helps activate the compound and improves grip from the very first moment.

Compatibility

These tyres are designed for Slot.it rims compatible with the DWG 1152 profile. Slot.it specifies in their technical catalogue which rims accept each tyre reference, so we recommend checking compatibility with your specific rim before placing an order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the C1 compound and other Slot.it compounds?

The C1 is one of the softest compounds in the Slot.it catalogue. It offers more grip than harder compounds but may have slightly higher wear in very long sessions. It is the usual choice when maximum grip is prioritised over durability.

How many units are included in this pack?

The SIPT1152C1 pack includes 4 units, enough to equip a complete car or have an immediate spare for the rear axles.

Is it necessary to turn these tyres before using them?

For competitive use, it is highly recommended. Turning guarantees perfect concentricity, eliminates vibrations, and ensures that the entire surface of the rubber contacts uniformly with the track. For recreational use, it can be omitted, although performance improves significantly with turning.

Do they work on Scalextric or Ninco track?

These tyres are replacements for cars and setups based on the Slot.it system, designed for Sport track. However, the tyre itself is compatible with any track as long as the car is correctly mounted. The key compatibility is with the rim, not the type of track.

Which Slot.it rims are they compatible with?

They are compatible with Slot.it rims that accept the DWG 1152 profile in 19×10.5 mm size. Check the Slot.it technical catalogue or contact us if you have questions about your specific setup.
