FAQs

Are these tires suitable for all Tamiya trucks?

These tires are specifically designed for Tamiya tractor truck models listed in the compatibility section. They may not fit other Tamiya vehicle types or non-Tamiya trucks.

How many tires come in a pack?

Each pack contains two (2) tires.

What does '22mm road tread' mean?

This refers to the width of the tire's contact surface with the ground, measuring 22mm. It indicates a tread pattern designed for road use on scale models.

Can these tires be used for off-road trucks?

While durable, the 'road tread' design is optimized for paved or smooth surfaces. For off-road use, other specialized tires might be more appropriate.

Do I need glue to attach these tires?

Mounting instructions vary by Tamiya kit. Some may require tire glue for a permanent and secure bond, while others may have a snug press-fit. Consult your specific Tamiya truck kit manual.

Where can I find a list of compatible Tamiya models?

A comprehensive list of compatible Tamiya tractor truck models is provided in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section of this guide.

Troubleshooting

Tire does not fit wheel correctly

Verify that the tire is the correct model (22mm tread) and intended for Tamiya tractor trucks. Ensure the wheel is clean and undamaged. Some force may be required for a tight fit, but do not over-stretch the tire.

Tire wears out quickly

These tires are made of hard rubber for durability. If wear is excessive, check the operating surface for abrasives or consider if the model is being used in a manner that exceeds the tire's intended use.

Model pulls to one side

Ensure tires are mounted evenly on both sides of the axle and that the tread is consistent. Check the alignment of the wheels and suspension components of the model.
