Technical Performance
The dBoots Hoons 35/085 2.4 represent ARRMA's commitment to engineering excellence in the 1/8 scale on-road segment. Measuring 85mm in overall diameter with a 35mm width and 2.4-inch wheel bead diameter, these tyres are engineered to fit seamlessly into the geometry of compatible 1/8 scale platforms, delivering optimised handling characteristics.

The integrated belt system strengthens the tyre structure under the forces generated by high-speed cornering, acceleration, and braking, preventing excessive tyre expansion and deformation that would otherwise compromise steering response and traction. The nylon wheel construction provides lightweight strength, helping maintain responsive handling whilst withstanding the impacts and stresses of aggressive on-road driving. The 14mm hex connection point is engineered for strength during extreme driving whilst maintaining simplicity for quick servicing. Whether you're pushing your 1/8 scale RC car to the limit on smooth tarmac or negotiating rougher urban surfaces, these tyres maintain their grip characteristics consistently, making them an excellent choice for any RC driver serious about performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these dBoots Hoons tyres suitable for high-speed on-road driving? — Yes, absolutely. The moulded-in belt system is specifically engineered to provide stability at high speeds, preventing tyre deformation and maintaining consistent grip during aggressive acceleration and cornering. These tyres are designed for serious on-road performance and have proven themselves in demanding conditions.
- What makes the white compound rubber different from other options? — ARRMA selected a medium white compound specifically for the balance it provides between grip and durability. This compound delivers consistent traction throughout the tyre's lifespan whilst resisting excessive wear, making it an excellent choice for drivers who want reliability without constant tyre replacement.
- Can I use these tyres on different wheel sizes? — These tyres are specifically designed for 2.4-inch wheels with the dimensions specified (85mm overall diameter, 35mm width). Attempting to mount them on different wheel sizes would compromise the engineering balance and handling characteristics that ARRMA has tuned into this package.
- How do the 5-spoke wheels compare to other wheel designs? — The 5-spoke design provides increased structural strength compared to lighter designs, making it ideal for aggressive driving where impacts and cornering forces are substantial. The design also delivers ARRMA's distinctive styling whilst providing genuine performance benefits.
- Do I need to glue these tyres to the wheels? — No. These tyres arrive pre-glued and mounted to the 5-spoke wheels, eliminating the need for separate mounting and gluing processes. This ensures immediate readiness and trouble-free installation on compatible 1/8 scale vehicles.
- What vehicles are these tyres compatible with? — These tyres are specifically designed for 1/8 scale on-road RC vehicles, including the ARRMA INFRACTION 223S DSC 4X4 RTR Street Bash platform in all colour variants. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle model before purchasing.
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners? — Yes. The pre-glued and mounted design removes technical barriers, making these ideal for newer RC drivers. The balanced grip and predictable handling characteristics mean they're forgiving enough for learners whilst offering enough performance for experienced drivers to enjoy.
- How often will I need to replace these tyres? — Tyre replacement frequency depends entirely on driving intensity and surface conditions. ARRMA's high-quality medium white compound is engineered for excellent durability, meaning extended use before replacement becomes necessary. Regular inspection will help you determine when wear warrants changing.
