Tire set CARRERA for Ferrari 488 — model GCS5067

Set of replacement tires by CARRERA designed for Ferrari 488 model slot cars and scale models. These tires match the original fitment and dimensions used on compatible wheel hubs, allowing hobbyists and restorers to replace worn or damaged rubber components while maintaining the model’s driving characteristics and appearance. The set is intended for models that accept this specific tire profile and width, restoring traction and consistent handling.

Advantages

The CARRERA replacement tire set provides a close match to the original tires in profile and tread, ensuring predictable grip and stable behavior on track surfaces. Manufactured from durable elastomer that balances wear resistance with sufficient softness for traction, the tires help preserve the model’s visual authenticity and mechanical function. Installation maintains clearance and wheel alignment when fitted correctly to compatible rims.

How to use

Remove the existing tires from the model’s wheel rims using suitable small pliers or tire-removal tools to avoid damaging rims. Clean the wheel hubs and rim seating areas of dust and adhesive residue before fitting the new tires. Press each replacement tire onto the rim evenly, ensuring the tire bead seats correctly and the tread is centered. After mounting, check wheel balance and clearance on the chassis, turning the wheels by hand to confirm smooth rotation and correct alignment.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, fit tires in a clean workspace and avoid stretching them excessively during installation. Periodically inspect tires for flat spots or glazing if used on high-speed tracks, and replace the set when traction degrades. Use only on models and hubs confirmed to be compatible with this tire profile to prevent fitment issues.
