This OEM Losi product is engineered specifically for the Mini-B platform, a popular choice among RC car UK hobbyists seeking a compact, fast and highly manoeuvrable 2WD buggy.

Supplied as a pair of front tyres, this replacement set ensures you always have fresh rubber ready when your current set shows signs of wear from consistent driving or racing.
At RC Model Shop, we stock only genuine Losi parts that meet manufacturer specifications. When you need replacement tyres for your Mini-B, you can trust that these mounted solutions will deliver consistent handling characteristics and durability that keeps pace with the demands of modern RC racing and everyday bashers alike.
Key Features
- Wide Body Design — The wide body profile increases the footprint and contact patch of the tyre with the ground, providing better grip, stability during cornering, and improved overall handling characteristics that translate into faster lap times and more predictable driving dynamics.
- Pre-mounted on Rims — These tyres arrive already mounted and balanced on their rims, eliminating the need for you to spend time and effort mounting them yourself, which means your Mini-B can be back in action within minutes of opening the box.
- Genuine Losi Product — As an official Losi spare part, you can be confident these tyres are designed to exacting standards and will perform consistently with your Mini-B chassis, suspension geometry and weight distribution.
- Supplied as a Pair — You receive two complete front tyre and wheel assemblies, providing a full replacement solution for the front axle of your Mini-B 2WD buggy.
- Yellow Finish — The distinctive yellow colour scheme complements various Mini-B body colours and chassis finishes, whilst also making your model highly visible during outdoor driving sessions.
- Rib Tread Pattern — The rib tyre tread design is optimised for consistent grip on both dry and lightly damp surfaces, providing predictable handling whether you're driving on tarmac, carpet or indoor track surfaces.
Technical Performance
The Losi Wide Body Rib tyres for Mini-B represent the engineering heritage of one of the most respected names in RC racing. These replacement tyres maintain the precise tolerances and material composition that Losi has perfected through years of competitive racing and field testing. The wide body configuration distributes the vehicle's weight more effectively across the tyre's contact patch, which is particularly important in the Mini-B's 1/16 scale class where weight transfer and balance during acceleration, braking and cornering directly impact lap times. The rib pattern tread is engineered to shed water effectively on wet grass or lightly damp surfaces whilst maintaining optimal grip on dry racing surfaces. Pre-mounting on the rims ensures that each assembly arrives in perfect balance and alignment, meaning you won't experience vibration or handling inconsistencies caused by improper tyre seating. These tyres are designed to work seamlessly with the Mini-B's suspension geometry, steering geometry and weight distribution, ensuring that when you fit them to your buggy, the overall handling balance and response remain true to Losi's original design specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Mini-B models are these tyres compatible with? — These Wide Body Rib front tyres are designed for the Losi 1/16 Mini-B 2WD Buggy range, including the Brushed RTR model (C-LOS01016T1 in Blue/White), the Brushless RTR Blue version (C-LOS01024T2), and the Brushless RTR Red version (C-LOS01024T1). If you own a Mini-B in any of these configurations, these tyres will fit perfectly on the front axle.
- Why should I buy replacement tyres for my RC buggy? — Tyres are a consumable part on any RC car, and even the toughest designs experience wear from consistent use. Fresh tyres restore the grip and handling balance that your Mini-B enjoyed when new, improve predictability during cornering and acceleration, and can actually improve lap times if you're racing. Having a spare set on hand means you're never stuck waiting for replacements to arrive.
- Are these suitable for competitive racing? — Yes, these are genuine Losi racing-spec tyres engineered to perform on competitive tracks and courses. Many Mini-B racers across the UK favour Losi original equipment tyres because they're known for consistency from run to run, reliability under racing stress, and compatibility with Losi-tuned suspensions and geometries.
- Do I need special tools to fit these to my Mini-B? — Since these tyres arrive pre-mounted on their rims, you simply need to remove your current front wheels and install these in their place. No special tyre-mounting equipment or adhesive is required.
- How long do RC tyres typically last? — This depends entirely on driving conditions and intensity. Light recreational use on grass might yield 5-10 hours of driving time, whilst competitive track racing could wear a set significantly faster. The rib pattern on these tyres is optimised for consistent grip, but all tyres wear eventually.
