Slot car track tyres CARRERA Porsche 917K replacement set GCS50041

Replacement slot car track tyres designed for the CARRERA Porsche 917K slot car model. This tyre set is intended as spare parts to fit the original Porsche 917K chassis and restore correct tyre dimensions and contact with the track surface. They are suitable for routine maintenance, minor repairs and performance tuning on compatible CARRERA slot cars running on plastic or routed layouts.

Advantages

These tyres reproduce the original size and profile to maintain authentic handling and predictable grip on typical slot racing tracks. Made to match the wheel fitment and clearances of the Porsche 917K chassis, the set supports consistent running behaviour after replacement. Using original-form tyres helps reduce uneven wear and ensures compatibility with existing rims and axles.

Suitable for

• Replacement tyres for CARRERA Porsche 917K slot car models
• Maintenance and repair of compatible CARRERA slot cars
• Performance tuning to restore grip on plastic or routed tracks
• Hobbyists and collectors preserving original running characteristics

Key specifications

• Compatible vehicle type: Porsche 917K slot car chassis
• Intended use: rear and/or front wheel replacement depending on model fitment
• Material: rubber compound formulated for slot car track use
• Fit: sized for original wheel rims and axle clearances of compatible CARRERA models

How to use

Carefully remove the wheel assembly from the slot car chassis following the manufacturer’s guidance for disassembly. Extract the old tyre from the rim and fit the replacement tyre, ensuring it seats evenly on the wheel and that there is no bulging or misalignment. Reinstall the wheel assembly and test the car at low speed to confirm correct alignment and contact with the track. If necessary, perform minor trimming or balancing only where it does not compromise tyre fit or safety.

Usage recommendations

For best results, check wheel alignment and axle condition when replacing tyres, and run a short break-in on a clean section of track to allow the new rubber to settle. Store spare tyres in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to avoid premature hardening.
