Key Features
- ST28 Front Razor Tyres — The front Razor tyres are engineered specifically for cornering precision and directional control, providing sharp steering response and maintained grip through technical sections. This tyre compound and tread pattern is optimised for maintaining traction whilst delivering the responsive handling characteristics that serious RC car enthusiasts demand.
- Rear Paddle Tyres — The rear Paddle tyres are designed to maximise traction and propulsion, particularly across loose and challenging terrain where forward momentum and climbing ability are critical. Paddle tyre technology excels in sand, loose soil and obstacle-heavy environments, providing superior bite compared to standard all-terrain compounds.
- Complete Wheel and Tyre Package — This set arrives as a matched pair of wheels with tyres pre-fitted, eliminating the need for separate tyre mounting, balancing or assembly. The integrated package approach ensures compatibility, reduces preparation time, and guarantees proper fitment to your Yeti Jr platform.
- Genuine Axial Parts — These are authentic Axial Racing components manufactured to the same exacting standards as your original equipment, ensuring proper fit, durability and long-term reliability. Using genuine manufacturer parts protects your investment and maintains the vehicle's performance credentials.
- Optional Parts Flexibility — Listed as optional parts rather than required equipment, this set allows you to maintain your current tyres whilst building a collection of alternative setups. This flexibility enables RC hobbyists to transition between different terrain types, weather conditions and driving styles without purchasing complete replacement vehicles.
- 1/18 Scale Compatibility — Specifically engineered for the 1/18 Axial Yeti Jr platform, these tyres and wheels integrate seamlessly with your existing drivetrain, suspension and chassis geometry, requiring no modification or adaptation to achieve perfect fitment and performance alignment.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL ST28 Front Razor, Rear Paddle Tire and Wheel Set delivers significant performance advantages through purposeful tyre design that addresses the distinct demands of front-end steering and rear-end traction. The front Razor tyres feature a tread pattern and compound formulation optimised for cornering grip and responsive handling feedback, allowing precision steering inputs and predictable directional changes across varied terrain. The rear Paddle tyres employ larger, more aggressive lug spacing that excavates into loose surfaces, generating superior traction for acceleration, hill climbing and terrain negotiation. This dual-tyre philosophy reflects Axial's engineering approach to 1/18 scale off-road performance, where front and rear tyre roles differ significantly. The wheel construction integrates standard Axial mounting architecture, ensuring compatibility with your Yeti Jr suspension geometry, brake systems and drivetrain components without any modification requirements. The tyres demonstrate the material quality and manufacturing precision expected from Axial Racing, delivering consistent performance across multiple driving sessions whilst maintaining structural integrity through demanding rock crawling, bashing and terrain-based use cases. These optional parts provide the flexibility to maintain alternative tyre configurations, enabling rapid adaptation to seasonal conditions, track changes and performance testing without capital investment in additional complete vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Axial Yeti Jr models are compatible with the ST28 wheel and tyre set? — This package is specifically designed for the 1/18 Axial Yeti Jr Can-Am Maverick 4WD Brushed RTR model. The ST28 tyres integrate seamlessly with the Yeti Jr suspension geometry, brake systems and drivetrain specifications without requiring any chassis modifications or adaptations.
- Why would I choose Paddle tyres for the rear of my RC Yeti Jr? — Paddle tyres excel in loose terrain environments including sand, gravel, dirt and uneven ground where traditional all-terrain tyres struggle to generate sufficient traction. The larger, more spaced lugs dig into loose surfaces and provide superior acceleration and climbing ability, making them ideal for rock crawling and extreme terrain driving.
- What is the advantage of having separate front Razor and rear Paddle tyres? — Front and rear tyres perform distinctly different functions in off-road driving. Front tyres must provide precise steering control and cornering grip, whilst rear tyres must deliver propulsion and traction. Axial's dual-tyre strategy optimises each end of the vehicle for its specific functional demands, delivering superior overall performance compared to identical all-terrain compounds.
- Are these genuine Axial parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are authentic Axial Racing manufacturing components produced to the same exacting standards as your original Yeti Jr equipment. Using genuine manufacturer parts ensures proper fitment, maintains performance characteristics and protects your investment through reliable long-term durability.
- How often should I replace these tyres? — Tyre wear depends on driving frequency, terrain type and driving intensity. These replacement tyres enable hobby users to maintain multiple tyre sets, allowing rotation between configurations to extend overall component life and preserve the performance characteristics of each tyre type.
- Do these tyres come pre-mounted on wheels? — Yes, the ST28 Front Razor and Rear Paddle tyres arrive pre-fitted to compatible wheels, eliminating mounting, balancing and assembly requirements. You can install the complete wheel and tyre assembly directly onto your Yeti Jr suspension without additional preparation.
- What is the customer rating for this product? — This product carries a 3.2 out of 5 customer rating based on user feedback and real-world experience from Axial Yeti Jr owners using this wheel and tyre combination.
