Which RC models are compatible?
These tires fit a wide range of 1/10 on-road cars and also work on some 1/14 and 1/16 off-road buggies that use a 12mm drive hex. Confirmed compatible models include:
- Tamiya TT02 Subarus, MF-01X, XV-01
- Kyosho Fazer series

Many other 1/10 touring or rally cars with 12mm hex wheels will also accept these tires, provided the wheel diameter and offset match the chassis.
Do these tires need gluing?
Yes, these tires are not pre-glued. You must clean the rim and tire bead surfaces, then apply a suitable instant adhesive like 3M171 or professional RC tire glue (not included). Proper glueing ensures the tire stays on the rim during high-speed runs.
What kind of tread pattern do they have?
The rally block tread pattern features square and angled lugs that provide good grip on pavement, packed dirt, and gravel. The soft rubber compound and foam inserts help the tire conform to the surface for better traction. The 10-spoke plastic rims are lightweight and polished for a clean look.
Where can you run these tires?
These are intended for on-road rally or touring car use. They perform well on flat roads and off-road surfaces like dirt and grass, but they are not recommended for heavy off-road trucks or buggies. For 1/10 scale off-road vehicles, choose dedicated off-road tires with larger lugs.
