FAQs
What scale are these tyres for?
These Slot It C1 Compound Tyres are designed for 1:32 scale slot cars.
Are these tyres suitable for all track conditions?
They are best suited for clean, slick, and dry track conditions. Their performance may be reduced on dusty, dirty, or wet surfaces.
How many tyres are included in a pack?
A pack typically includes four tyres.
Can I use these tyres on Scalextric or Hornby cars?
Yes, they are generally compatible with most 1:32 scale slot cars, including popular brands like Scalextric and Hornby, provided the wheel size is appropriate.
How do I clean the tyres?
Wipe them gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or harsh cleaning agents.
What is the main advantage of the C1 compound?
The C1 compound offers a high level of grip, especially on clean track surfaces, leading to better cornering and stability.
Will these tyres fit any 1:32 scale wheel?
They are designed for standard 1:32 scale slot car wheel rims. It's always best to verify the diameter compatibility with your specific car's wheels.
Troubleshooting
Car spins out easily under acceleration or braking.
Ensure the tyres are properly seated on the rims and are clean. The C1 compound is best for clean, slick surfaces; if the track is dusty, clean the track or consider a different tyre compound.
Tyre is visibly deformed or wobbles on the wheel.
Remove the tyre and re-seat it carefully, ensuring it is centered on the rim. If the tyre is permanently deformed, it may need to be replaced.
Tyres wear down very quickly.
Check the track surface. These tyres are optimized for smooth, clean tracks. Rough or abrasive surfaces will cause faster wear. Consider using them only for specific racing setups or tracks.
Tyres have very little grip.
Clean both the tyres and the track surface. Ensure there is no mold release agent remaining from manufacturing (a light clean with mild soap and water, then drying thoroughly can help).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Carefully remove the old tyres from the rear or all wheels of your 1:32 scale slot car.
- Gently stretch the new Slot It C1 Compound Tyres onto the corresponding wheel rims. Ensure the tyre is seated evenly around the rim.
- Check that the tyre is centered and not wobbling. A slight wobble can indicate improper seating or a deformed tyre.
Compatibility:
- These tyres are primarily designed for 1:32 scale slot cars. They are known to be compatible with popular brands such as Scalextric and Hornby, as well as other 1:32 scale slot car systems.
- Always check the wheel diameter of your specific car model to ensure a proper fit. These tyres are designed for standard 1:32 scale rims.
Care:
- Keep tyres clean. Dust and debris can reduce their grip. Wipe them with a slightly damp cloth if they become dirty. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can degrade the rubber compound.
- Store cars with tyres not in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to prevent drying or cracking.
