How to use

Remove the wheel assemblies from the D124 model according to the manufacturer's instructions, then carefully extract the old tyres from the rims.

Reinstall the wheels onto the car, verify free rotation and correct alignment, and test the car on the track at low speed to confirm restored grip and handling before full use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, clean wheel rims of dirt or adhesive residue prior to fitting new tyres and periodically check tyre wear. Store spare tyres in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent rubber degradation. Use these tyres on compatible slot tracks and avoid prolonged exposure to oils or solvents that can affect grip.
