Slot.it G25 Tyre: Precise Grip in 18x10mm Size
The PT1207G25 tyre from Slot.it is an original spare part designed for those who take the tuning of their cars seriously. With a size of 18x10mm and a slick profile, it is conceived to provide maximum contact with the track in competitive conditions.
Tyre Features and Function
- Size: 18x10mm
- Profile: Slick, no tread pattern

- Manufacturer: Slot.it (original reference PT1207G25)
The G25 compound is one of the rubber compounds that Slot.it includes in its range of competition tyres. The designation G refers to the hardness and formulation of the rubber, and the choice of the appropriate compound is part of the technical preparation of the car before each session or championship.
Mounting and Preparation
Before mounting the new tyres, it is advisable to verify that the axle diameter and the rim are compatible with this size. Once mounted, it is recommended to subject the tyres to a light sanding or turning process to ensure perfect concentricity and eliminate any imbalance that may affect cornering behaviour. A well-prepared tyre makes a difference in lap consistency.
Which Cars is it Suitable For?
This tyre is an original spare part from Slot.it, so it fits naturally into the brand's models that use this size and this technical drawing reference. Check the exploded view of your Slot.it car to confirm that Drw. 1171 corresponds to your model before placing the order.
Common Mistakes When Choosing Tyres
- Confusing the outer measurement with the inner: the 18mm corresponds to the outer diameter and the 10mm to the width.
- Not verifying the drawing reference (Drw.) before ordering, which can lead to incompatibilities with the rim.
- Mounting tyres without ensuring concentricity, causing vibrations and loss of grip.
- Choosing the compound based on price rather than the characteristics of the track where competition will take place.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the G25 compound mean in Slot.it tyres?
The G nomenclature refers to the formulation and hardness of the rubber used by Slot.it. The number 25 identifies the specific variant within its range. Each compound offers a distinct balance between grip and durability, so the choice depends on the type of track and driving style.
What is Drw. 1171?
It is the technical drawing number that Slot.it assigns internally to this tyre. It serves to accurately identify the mould and dimensions of the product, and it is the most reliable reference to confirm compatibility with your rim.
Is it necessary to turn the tyres after mounting them?
It is not strictly mandatory, but it is highly recommended in competition. Turning or fine sanding ensures that the tyre is perfectly concentric with the axle, resulting in more stable and predictable behaviour on the track.
Can I use these tyres on universal track (Scalextric, Ninco)?
Compatibility does not depend on the type of track but on the car's rim. If your car uses rims that accept the 18x10mm size and Drw. 1171, you can use them regardless of the track system.
