How to use

Remove the wheel assemblies from the slot car according to the vehicle’s maintenance instructions. Carefully remove the old tyres from the rims, taking care not to damage the wheels. Fit the replacement tyres onto the rims, ensuring they seat evenly and are centered on the wheel hubs. Reinstall the wheels on the axles and check for free rotation and correct alignment before returning the car to the track. Perform a brief test run to confirm expected grip and handling.

Usage recommendations

For best results, inspect wheel rims and axle bearings when replacing tyres; clean or replace damaged parts to avoid uneven wear. Store spare tyres in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and solvents to preserve rubber properties. When tuning performance, test on the intended track surface to evaluate grip changes and adjust weight distribution or gearing if necessary.
