Key Features
- Multi-surface KATAR Tread Pattern — The innovative KATAR tread design is specifically engineered for all-road traction, meaning these tyres perform consistently well whether you're driving on smooth asphalt, rough concrete, loose dirt, grass or mixed terrain surfaces, giving you confidence and control in any condition.
- Pre-Glued for Instant Installation — Unlike loose tyres that require careful gluing and curing time, these come pre-glued and ready to fit straight onto your vehicle, saving you valuable setup time and allowing you to get back to driving faster without compromising installation quality.
- Left and Right Specific Tyre Design — Each tyre is moulded with directional tread patterns and includes sidewall direction markings, ensuring optimal traction and handling balance when fitted to the correct position on your RC car.
- Advanced Vent Hole Technology — Strategically placed vent holes throughout the tyre structure allow air to flow in and out during driving, which improves traction grip and enhances the tyre's ability to absorb impacts from bumps and landings, whilst simultaneously allowing water and dirt to escape, preventing unbalanced tyres and extending operational lifespan.
- Premium Rubber Compound — Manufactured from high-quality rubber formulations selected for durability and consistency, these tyres are engineered to withstand the rigours of competitive and recreational RC driving whilst maintaining their grip characteristics over extended use.
- Truck Design Wheels — The included wheels feature a stylish truck-inspired design that not only looks impressive but also provides increased structural strength, ideal for aggressive driving and extreme bashings.
- Gun Metal Colour Finish — The distinctive gun metal colouration delivers that classic ARRMA styling aesthetic, giving your RC vehicle a head-turning appearance on the track or field.
- 14mm Hex Connection — The larger 14mm hex size provides superior strength during extreme driving action and aggressive manoeuvres, whilst also offering the practical benefit of easy servicing and maintenance when you need to make adjustments.
- High-Performance Foam Inserts — The tyres are paired with specially designed high-quality foam inserts that have excellent return characteristics, engineered to strike the perfect balance between aggressive grip for traction and easy handling responsiveness.
- Nylon Wheel Construction — The wheels are manufactured from tough nylon material, proven to withstand punishment on all surfaces, from smooth indoor tracks to rough outdoor terrain, ensuring your investment remains durable through countless sessions.
Technical Performance
These ARRMA dBoots KATAR 35/085 2.4 tyres represent a significant achievement in 1/8 scale RC tyre engineering. The 2.4-inch inner bead diameter (61mm) combined with the 85mm overall diameter places these firmly in the proven sweet spot for balanced on-road and light off-road performance. The 35mm width provides a wide footprint for enhanced traction whilst maintaining responsive steering characteristics essential for competitive driving. The multi-surface tread pattern has been extensively tested across diverse conditions to deliver consistent performance whether you're running on asphalt, concrete, dirt, grass or mixed terrain. The vent hole technology represents a genuine functional advancement, creating channels that work actively to maintain tyre pressure consistency and absorb energy from impacts more effectively than solid-wall construction. The high-quality foam inserts are precision-engineered to provide progressive spring rates that adapt to your driving style, offering aggressive grip when you need it most whilst maintaining predictable handling characteristics. The 14mm hex connection is standard for 1/8 scale vehicles and provides the strength required for competitive driving without introducing unnecessary weight. Built with nylon wheels and finished in eye-catching gun metal, these represent excellent value within the ARRMA range, combining genuine performance upgrades with practical convenience through pre-glued mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for both on-road and off-road driving? — Yes, the multi-surface KATAR tread pattern is specifically designed for all-road traction, meaning these tyres perform well on asphalt, concrete, dirt, grass and mixed terrain surfaces, making them incredibly versatile for drivers who want a single setup that works everywhere.
- How much faster will upgrading to these KATAR tyres make my RC car? — Whilst tyre upgrades primarily improve traction grip, handling balance and consistency rather than raw speed, the enhanced grip provided by the KATAR tread pattern can help you maintain better control through corners and accelerate more efficiently, potentially improving your lap times through better momentum maintenance.
- Can I fit these tyres to other ARRMA models or RC cars from different manufacturers? — These tyres are designed as direct replacements for ARRMA kit items and feature a 14mm hex connection standard to 1/8 scale vehicles. You can fit them to any compatible 1/8 scale RC car that uses 14mm hex wheels, though compatibility should be verified with your specific vehicle's specifications.
- What is the difference between these pre-glued tyres and loose tyre options? — Pre-glued tyres like these come ready to install immediately, saving considerable setup time and eliminating the risk of glue application errors. Loose tyres require separate gluing and curing time but offer flexibility in choosing wheel designs. For convenience and consistency, pre-glued options are ideal for service replacements.
- How long do these tyres typically last before replacement? — Tyre lifespan depends heavily on driving intensity, surface conditions and maintenance. These high-quality rubber compounds are engineered for durability through extended use, though aggressive driving on abrasive surfaces will naturally wear them faster than casual recreational use.
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The KATAR tread pattern is forgiving and predictable across varied surfaces, making them excellent for drivers building experience. The pre-glued mounting means beginners can focus on driving rather than technical tyre preparation, whilst the responsive handling characteristics help develop driving skills effectively.
- What wheel hex size do these tyres use? — These tyres feature a 14mm hex connection, which is the standard hex size for 1/8 scale RC vehicles and provides excellent strength for aggressive driving whilst remaining easy to service and maintain.
