FAQs
What is the main advantage of Ultragrip technology?
Ultragrip technology provides significantly enhanced traction and stability, allowing for higher cornering speeds and better control during racing.
Are these tires suitable for all 1:32 scale cars?
These tires are specifically designed for 1:32 scale NSR models and are compatible with 16.5/17 rims. They may fit other brands but are optimized for NSR.
How do I know if these are the right rear tires for my model?
Check your model's specifications for rear tire size (19.5x13) and rim compatibility (16.5/17). These are rear-specific tires.
Do I need to clean the tires before the first use?
Yes, it is recommended to clean the tire surface with a soft, dry cloth before the first use to remove any manufacturing residue and ensure optimal grip from the start.
How long do these tires typically last?
The lifespan of the tires depends on usage intensity, track conditions, and driving style. However, the durable compound is designed for extended racing sessions.
Can I use these tires on a rough or dusty track?
Slick tires, especially those with a focus on grip like these, perform best on smooth, clean surfaces. Performance may be reduced on rough or dusty tracks.
Troubleshooting
Tires do not fit the rim.
Ensure you are using the correct rim size (16.5/17) and that the tire is oriented correctly. If the fit is still too tight, a small amount of tire lubricant specifically designed for RC/slot car tires might help, but use sparingly.
Reduced grip after initial use.
The Ultragrip compound may require a short break-in period. Clean the tires with a soft, dry cloth. If the issue persists, the track surface might be dirty or unsuitable for slick tires.
Tire slips on the rim during high-speed turns.
Ensure the tire is fully seated on the rim and that the rim is clean. A very small amount of CA glue (super glue) applied to the inner bead of the tire can help secure it to the rim, but this is a permanent modification.
