19x10 ProSpeed Evo Hard Tyres

Sideways ProSpeed Evo Hard: 19x10 tyre for those who demand consistency on track

The ProSpeed Evo Hard tyres from Sideways are a well-established reference among slot enthusiasts seeking stable and predictable performance race after race. In Hard compound, they are designed for those who prioritise durability and consistency over maximum grip of softer tyres.

Features and function

• Size: 19 mm diameter × 10 mm width.
• Wheel compatibility: suitable for wheels with a diameter between 15.8 and 17.3 mm.
• Compound: Hard, with greater wear resistance and less immediate grip than soft compounds.
• Brand: Sideways (ref. SWPS1H).

On-track behaviour

The Hard compound offers a more linear response to the throttle and reduces wear during long sessions. It is the usual choice when racing on high-grip tracks, when wanting to reduce the frequency of tyre changes during a race night, or when a championship regulation mandates a specific compound. The result is a more controllable behaviour, especially on corner exits, where soft compounds can cause excessive slipping.

Mounting and preparation

Before mounting the tyres, check that your wheel diameter is within the indicated range (15.8–17.3 mm). A correct fit ensures that the tyre is properly seated and does not shift laterally during the race. If you are going to true them, make sure to work with the tyre already mounted on the wheel to achieve a perfectly concentric run.

Ideal for…

• Club competition with long sessions where durability matters as much as performance.
• Tracks with a high level of surface grip, where a soft compound would be excessive.
• Enthusiasts who prefer predictable and manageable setups.
• Tuners looking for consistency in lap times throughout a heat.

Considerations

The Hard compound is not the most suitable option for low-grip tracks or for those seeking the last tenth in qualifying with a soft compound. If your track or race format allows for free tyre choice, also consider the Medium or Soft compound reference from Sideways to compare performance before deciding.

Frequently asked questions

What wheels are these tyres compatible with?

They are designed for wheels with a diameter between 15.8 and 17.3 mm. Adhere to this range to ensure a correct and snug fit.

What is the difference between Hard and Soft compounds in slot tyres?

The Hard compound is stiffer, resulting in greater durability and less immediate grip. The Soft offers more adhesion from the first turn but wears out faster. The choice depends on the track, race format, and driving style.

Do I need to true the tyres before using them?

It is not mandatory, but it is recommended in competition. Truing them once mounted on the wheel ensures that all points of the tyre have exactly the same diameter, improving stability and reducing vibrations.

How many units are included in the package?

The available information does not specify the number of units per package. Please check the complete specification in-store or contact our team to confirm before placing your order.

Are they compatible with cars from other brands besides Sideways?

Compatibility depends on the diameter of the car's wheel, not the brand. Any slot car with wheels between 15.8 and 17.3 mm can use these tyres.
