Overview
The Losi Monster Truck Tire (L/R) for the Mini LMT is an essential replacement tyre set designed specifically for the Losi 1/18 Mini LMT 4x4 brushed monster truck family. Whether you own the Son-Uva Digger, Grave Digger, Zombie 2S, or Megalodon 2S variant, this tyre pair delivers the grip and durability you need to keep your RC monster truck performing at its best on a variety of terrain. As a dedicated RC car UK enthusiast, you understand that tyres are wear items that require regular replacement to maintain peak performance and handling characteristics. These genuine Losi OEM tyres are engineered to match the exact specifications of your Mini LMT, ensuring optimal fitment and performance across grass, dirt, carpet and indoor surfaces.
Mini monster trucks have become incredibly popular in the RC hobby, offering enthusiasts a compact, nippy alternative to full-size 1/10 scale vehicles. The Losi Mini LMT range represents some of the finest ready to run RC monster trucks available in the UK market, delivering authentic monster truck styling in a smaller, more manageable package. When your original tyres wear down from regular bashing and racing, replacing them with genuine Losi Monster Truck Tyres ensures you're getting the exact same performance profile and durability that came standard with your truck. This is why purchasing replacement tyres from authorised UK retailers like RC Model Shop is so important—you know you're getting authentic, quality components rather than cheap third-party alternatives that may not fit properly or perform consistently.
These left and right paired tyres are moulded with a tread pattern optimised for the Mini LMT's suspension geometry and weight distribution, providing predictable handling and excellent traction during acceleration, cornering and braking. Whether you're a casual weekend basher or a more serious Mini LMT competitor, keeping a spare set of tyres on hand is essential to maximise your running time and maintain your truck's performance throughout extended driving sessions.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Losi Component — These are official Losi factory tyres manufactured to exact specifications, ensuring perfect fitment to your Mini LMT wheels and maintaining the handling characteristics your truck was designed for from the factory.
- Left and Right Paired Set — This product includes one left tyre and one right tyre, allowing you to replace either side as needed or refresh both sides simultaneously for maximum consistency and predictable handling.
- Optimised Tread Pattern — The tyre design features a tread pattern specifically engineered for 1/18 scale performance, delivering reliable grip across multiple surfaces including carpet, dirt, grass and concrete without excessive rolling resistance.
- Compatible with Multiple Mini LMT Variants — These tyres are designed to fit all current Mini LMT models, including the Son-Uva Digger, Grave Digger, Zombie 2S and Megalodon 2S, making them a versatile replacement choice for any Mini LMT owner.
- Essential Wear Item — Tyres naturally wear down with use, and having genuine replacement sets ensures you can keep your Mini LMT performing at peak levels without needing to source lower-quality alternatives that may compromise handling or durability.
Technical Performance
The Losi Monster Truck Tire represents the engineering excellence that Losi brings to their entire product line. These tyres are specifically designed for the 1/18 scale Mini LMT platform, which operates at significantly different speeds, weights and grip requirements compared to larger 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC monster trucks. The tread pattern has been carefully optimised through Losi's extensive testing to provide the ideal balance between traction and rolling efficiency—too aggressive a tread would create excessive drag and battery drain, whilst too minimal a tread would result in poor grip during acceleration and cornering. The rubber compound used in these tyres is formulated to maintain consistent performance across a wide temperature range, whether you're running your Mini LMT indoors in a heated environment or outdoors during cooler UK weather. The sidewall construction provides appropriate flexibility for a 1/18 scale vehicle, allowing the tyre to absorb impacts from small obstacles whilst maintaining structural integrity during hard cornering and high-speed manoeuvres. Build quality is consistently excellent across Losi's replacement parts range, and these tyres are no exception—they're manufactured to the same quality standards as the tyres that come standard on ready to run RC monster truck models.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Losi monster truck models do these tyres fit? — These tyres are specifically designed for the Losi 1/18 Mini LMT family, including the C-LOS01026T2 Son-Uva Digger, C-LOS01026T1 Grave Digger, C-LOS01026T4 Zombie 2S, and C-LOS01026T3 Megalodon 2S 4x4 RTR brushed monster trucks. They will not fit larger 1/10 scale Losi monster trucks or other brands' products.
- How often will I need to replace these tyres? — Tyre wear depends heavily on your driving style, surface type and frequency of use. Aggressive carpet racing will wear tyres much faster than casual weekend bashing on grass. Most RC enthusiasts find that keeping 2-3 spare tyre sets on hand maximises their running time without waiting for replacements to arrive.
- Are these tyres suitable for both indoor and outdoor use? — Yes, these Losi Monster Truck Tyres perform well on both indoor carpet surfaces and outdoor terrain including grass, dirt and concrete. The tread pattern and rubber compound have been formulated to provide reliable grip across a variety of conditions typical for 1/18 scale RC driving.
- Why should I buy genuine Losi tyres instead of cheaper aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine OEM Losi tyres are engineered to exact specifications that match your Mini LMT's suspension geometry, motor power and weight distribution. Cheap aftermarket alternatives may fit poorly, wear inconsistently, or provide unpredictable grip characteristics that compromise handling and make your truck harder to drive. Genuine tyres also last longer and maintain performance throughout their lifespan, making them better value for money despite the higher upfront cost.
- Do these come pre-mounted on wheels? — No, these are tyres only. They will need to be mounted onto your existing Mini LMT wheels or new replacement wheels. Most RC enthusiasts take their tyres to a specialist shop for mounting, or if they have experience, use a tyre machine to mount and balance them properly.
