19x10 ProSpeed Evo Soft Tyres

Sideways ProSpeed Evo Soft Tyres: Soft Compound for Slot Racing

The ProSpeed Evo Soft tyres from Sideways are designed for drivers seeking maximum performance on track. With a size of 19x10 mm and compatibility with rims ranging from 15.8 to 17.3 mm in width, they offer a precise fit and an optimised contact surface to get the most out of each session.

Features and Function of the Compound

The Soft variant of the ProSpeed Evo range is aimed at maximising grip. This type of rubber provides greater deformation under load, resulting in a wider contact patch with the track and more effective traction, especially on wooden or plastic circuits where grip can make the difference between winning or losing tenths per lap.

Compatibility and Mounting

Thanks to the accepted rim range (15.8 to 17.3 mm), these tyres are suitable for a wide variety of chassis and configurations. Before mounting, it is advisable to check that the rim is within this range to ensure a snug fit without play that could compromise the car's balance. If necessary, a slight sanding of the tyre already mounted on the lathe allows for precise diameter matching.

On-Track Behaviour

The soft compound performs very well on tracks with good base grip. On club circuits with treated wood or clean plastic, the difference compared to a standard compound is noticeable from the first laps: the car gains bite on corner exits and reduces understeer in slow corners. For very abrasive track conditions or very long sessions, it may be advisable to consider a harder compound version to preserve diameter throughout the race.

Ideal for…

• Club drivers looking to fine-tune the rear grip of their car.
• Competitions on wooden or plastic tracks with good cleanliness.
• Setups where corner traction is a priority.
• Enthusiasts wanting to explore the real performance of their Sideways models.

Considerations

Soft compound tyres wear out faster than medium or hard ones. In long sessions or very abrasive tracks, it is advisable to carry a spare set. Additionally, for optimal performance, it is essential to mount the tyre correctly centred on the rim and to lathe if necessary to equalise the diameter of both rear wheels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Soft compound and other compounds in the ProSpeed Evo range?

The Soft compound is softer, providing greater grip but also higher wear. Harder compounds last longer and are more stable in long sessions, although they sacrifice some initial traction.

Is it necessary to lathe these tyres before using them?

It is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended in competition. A small lathe ensures that both rear wheels have exactly the same diameter, improving stability and preventing unwanted drift.

What rims are they compatible with?

They are compatible with rims ranging from 15.8 to 17.3 mm wide. Always check the size of your rim before mounting to ensure the correct fit.

How many units are included in the pack?

The information provided by the manufacturer does not specify the number of units per pack. We recommend checking the product details or contacting us before placing an order.

Do they work on plastic tracks like Scalextric or Ninco?

Yes, the soft compound adapts well to plastic surfaces. On treated wooden tracks, they also provide excellent grip. In any case, keeping the track clean is key to maximising the tyre's potential.
