Tectime Cronos TT007 Tyres: Grip and Consistency for Your Setup

The Tectime Cronos tyres are a common reference in the workbenches of slot car preparers. Under the reference TT007, these tyres in size 18.5 x 10 offer a geometry designed to perform well on both wooden tracks and plastic circuits, providing uniform contact with the surface and predictable behaviour in every corner.

Function and Performance

The Tectime Cronos rubber is formulated to find a balance between grip and durability. It is not an ultra-soft compound that degrades after a few laps, but rather a material that maintains its properties throughout the session, something particularly valued during long club championship days or in testing and tuning sessions.

The size 18.5 x 10 places it within the usual range for rear axles of 1/32 scale cars, although it is always advisable to verify compatibility with the rim diameter of your specific chassis before fitting them.

Fitting and Preparation

The fitting of these tyres follows the usual process for slot car rubber:

• Clean the rims with isopropyl alcohol before placing the tyre.
• Ensure that the tyre sits concentrically on the rim.
• Once fitted, run it through the truer or lathe to ensure a perfectly uniform circumference, especially if you are going to compete.
• Allow the fitted tyre to rest for a few hours before the first session to ensure it seats correctly.

Ideal for…

These tyres are a good choice for:

• Club competitors looking for a compound balanced between grip and lifespan.
• Hobbyists in the process of preparation and tuning who want a reliable tyre without the need for constant changes.
• Any slot car in 1/32 scale whose rear rim accommodates the size 18.5 x 10.

Aspects to Consider

Before placing your order, we recommend confirming the inner diameter of the tyre with that of your rims. Tectime offers several references within the Cronos range with similar but non-interchangeable sizes, so choosing the correct reference (TT007 in this case) is key for a clean and tension-free fit on the rubber.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many units are included in the TT007 pack?

The available information does not clearly specify whether they are sold in packs of 2 or 4 units. We recommend checking the updated listing in-store or contacting our team to confirm before placing your order.

Are they compatible with any 1/32 rim?

There is no universal compatibility. The outer size 18.5 x 10 is the key data, but the inner diameter must match that of your rim. Check the specifications of your chassis or rim before fitting them.

Do I need to true them before using them in competition?

In competition, it is always advisable to true the tyres once fitted to the rim, to ensure perfect concentricity and uniform contact with the track. For recreational use, it is not essential, although it does improve performance.

What type of track do they work best on?

The Cronos tyres are formulated to perform well on the most common surface types: wooden tracks and plastic circuits like Scalextric, Ninco, or Carrera. Performance may vary depending on the condition and specific material of the track.

The Tectime Cronos TT007 slot car tyres — sized 18.5 x 10 — are a reliable choice for 1/32 scale slot car preparation, offering a consistent compound that balances grip and durability across wooden and plastic track surfaces. A trusted option for club racing and home hobbyists looking for dependable rear tyre performance.
