FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the F22 compound?
The F22 compound is designed to offer a superior balance of grip and durability, providing enhanced traction for faster cornering and better control during racing.
Are these tyres suitable for all types of slot car tracks?
These slick tyres are best suited for smooth, clean, and dry track surfaces where maximum contact is beneficial. They may not perform optimally on dusty, dirty, or wet tracks.
How many tyres are included in a set?
Each set includes four replacement tyres.
Can I use these tyres on non-Slot It brand cars?
No, these tyres are specifically designed and manufactured for Slot It brand slot cars to ensure proper fitment and performance.
How should I clean the tyres for best performance?
Wipe with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely before use. Avoid solvents.
What is the difference between slick tyres and treaded tyres?
Slick tyres have a smooth surface to maximize contact with the track, offering the highest possible grip on clean, dry surfaces. Treaded tyres have grooves that can help displace water or debris, offering more versatile grip in varied conditions.
Do I need to use a special glue for these tyres?
While these are replacement tyres, they are designed to stretch onto the rim. For a more permanent fit or if you encounter any looseness, a small amount of specialized tyre glue for slot cars may be used sparingly on the rim, not the tyre itself.
Troubleshooting
Tyres do not fit the wheel
Verify that you are using the correct wheel size for Slot It cars and that the tyres are being stretched evenly onto the rim. Ensure no debris is obstructing the fitment.
Car spins out easily under acceleration
Check tyre seating on the rim for evenness. Ensure the track surface is clean and free of dust. The F22 compound requires a clean, grippy surface.
Inconsistent grip during a race
Clean the tyres and track surface. Ensure consistent temperature conditions, as some compounds perform best within a specific temperature range. Check for any debris embedded in the tyre.
Tyre wears out quickly
The F22 compound is optimized for grip on smooth, prepared surfaces. If used on rougher tracks or subjected to excessive scrubbing, wear may be accelerated. Ensure proper alignment and avoid excessive tire squeal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These tyres are designed as direct replacements for existing tyres on Slot It cars. Ensure the car is disassembled according to its manual to access the wheels and axles. Carefully remove the old tyres, clean the wheel rim, and then stretch the new F22 compound tyres onto the rims. Ensure they are seated evenly and securely. Proper mounting is crucial for balanced performance.
Compatibility: Strictly designed for Slot It brand slot cars. They are model number SIPT1323F22 and are intended for the corresponding wheel sizes within the Slot It range. Using them on other brands of slot cars may result in poor fitment and performance issues.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the tyres clean and free from dust, oils, and excessive debris. After each use, a gentle wipe with a clean, dry cloth is recommended. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and allow the tyres to air dry completely before re-installing. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can degrade the rubber compound.
