Minicars 1/24 Rear Tyre Shore 22 18.5x10

BRM Rear Tyres for Minicars 1/24: Shore 22 Compound for Maximum Grip

BRM is one of the leading European brands in the 1/24 scale slot racing world, with a range of spare parts and accessories designed for competitors who leave nothing to chance. These rear tyres are part of that philosophy: specific components developed to maximise the potential of Minicars in this scale.

Function and Performance

The Shore 22 hardness compound offers a balance between softness and durability. A softer tyre increases the contact surface with the track, resulting in greater traction and better cornering response. The size 18.5x10 is designed to fit correctly on the rear axles of BRM Minicars chassis in 1/24, ensuring smooth rolling and vibration-free operation.

Compatibility

This tyre is specifically designed for the BRM Minicars models in 1/24 scale. Before mounting, it is advisable to check that the diameter and width fit the rear rim of your chassis to ensure the tolerance is correct and the tyre sits well without play.

Mounting and Preparation

To get the most out of any competition tyre, we recommend truing the rubber once mounted on the rim. This step—common among the most demanding preparers—eliminates any possible eccentricities and ensures uniform contact with the track throughout the lap. Once trued, cleaning the rubber surface before each session helps activate the compound and improve grip from the first lap.

Ideal for…

• Club racers competing with BRM 1/24 Minicars.
• Enthusiasts looking to optimise the rear setup of their car.
• Preparers seeking a soft compound with good response on technical layouts.

Considerations

Soft compound tyres like Shore 22 offer excellent grip but may wear out more quickly on high-abrasion tracks or during long sessions. It is advisable to have several sets if competing in multi-heat championships.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Shore 22 mean in a slot tyre?

The Shore value indicates the hardness of the rubber compound. A Shore 22 is relatively soft, which favours grip by increasing the contact surface with the track. The lower the Shore value, the softer the compound.

Which models is this tyre compatible with?

It is designed for BRM Minicars in 1/24 scale. Check your chassis reference to confirm that the size 18.5x10 fits the rear rims of your model.

Do I need to true the tyres before using them?

It is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended for competition. Truing eliminates irregularities and ensures perfectly uniform contact with the track, improving stability and grip.

How many tyres are included in the pack?

The product information does not specify the number of units per pack. Please check the store listing or contact our team to confirm before placing your order.

Can they be used on universal track systems?

The performance of the tyre depends on the chassis and the type of track. As a BRM 1/24 spare part, its behaviour will primarily be conditioned by the type of chassis and the setup of your car, regardless of the track system.
