Overview
The Losi MT Tires in Green Beadlock are premium pre-mounted tyres designed specifically for the 1/18 scale Mini LMT 4x4 monster truck platform. These MT (Mud Terrain) tyres deliver authentic off-road performance in a compact 1/18 scale package, making them an essential upgrade or replacement for any Mini LMT owner in the UK looking to enhance their RC truck's grip and appearance. The distinctive green beadlock wheels give your Mini LMT a striking visual upgrade whilst maintaining serious off-road capability across a variety of terrain types.
Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast who has owned multiple RC cars UK-wide or someone new to the hobby discovering the impressive capabilities of 1/18 scale RC vehicles, these pre-mounted tyres offer genuine value. Pre-mounted means you receive them ready to bolt straight onto your Mini LMT without the need for separate assembly or wheel balancing—a significant convenience factor that saves time and ensures perfect fitment from day one. The MT tyre profile is engineered to provide superior traction whether you're tackling loose dirt, rocky terrain, or mixed outdoor surfaces, making these tyres far more effective than standard street tyres for genuine off-road performance.
For Mini LMT owners in the UK seeking replacement tyres after wear, or those building a second set of wheels for different terrain conditions, these Losi-branded MT tyres represent an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) solution that guarantees compatibility and performance. The green beadlock design isn't merely aesthetic—the beadlock feature helps secure the tyre to the wheel under extreme conditions, preventing tyre rollover during aggressive cornering or high-speed bashing sessions.
Key Features
- Pre-mounted and Ready to Install — These tyres arrive fully mounted on green beadlock wheels, eliminating the need for separate tyre mounting, balancing, or wheel preparation, allowing you to get your Mini LMT back into action within minutes of opening the package.
- Authentic MT (Mud Terrain) Tread Pattern — The aggressive MT tread design provides dramatically improved grip on loose surfaces, rocks, and uneven terrain compared to street or slick tyres, making them the ideal choice for serious off-road RC bashing and exploring.
- Green Beadlock Wheels — The distinctive green colour adds visual appeal to your Mini LMT whilst the beadlock design mechanically secures the tyre sidewall to the wheel, preventing tyre movement and rollover during high-speed runs or extreme cornering.
- Front and Rear Compatible — This pack contains two pre-mounted tyres suitable for use at both the front and rear positions on your Mini LMT, offering flexibility in your setup configuration and wheel rotation strategy.
- OEM Losi Product — Manufactured by Losi, the same company that designs and engineers the Mini LMT platform itself, ensuring perfect compatibility, proven durability, and performance characteristics that match the truck's design specifications.
- 1/18 Scale Proportions — Specifically engineered for 1/18 scale trucks, these tyres maintain proper ground clearance, handling balance, and visual proportions that would be compromised by generic or incorrectly-sized alternatives.
Technical Performance
The Losi MT Tires represent carefully engineered rubber compounds and tread geometry developed specifically for 1/18 scale off-road applications. The MT (Mud Terrain) tyre classification indicates a tread pattern featuring large, blocky lugs with substantial spacing between them—this design philosophy prioritises traction in soft, loose, or muddy conditions over smooth tarmac performance. The tyres are pre-mounted onto green beadlock wheels, which use a mechanical beadlock ring to clamp the tyre bead securely against the wheel face. This construction method prevents tyre slippage and sidewall rollover, which is particularly important during aggressive acceleration, hard cornering, or high-speed running where centrifugal forces attempt to separate the tyre from the wheel. The pre-mounted configuration means the wheels arrive factory-balanced and ready for immediate installation onto your Mini LMT's front and rear axles. For UK RC enthusiasts running their Mini LMT at dedicated off-road sites, garden tracks, or natural terrain, these MT tyres will dramatically outperform road-oriented alternatives in terms of grip levels, traction consistency, and predictability through turns. The beadlock design also provides visual authenticity, mimicking the appearance of full-size monster truck wheels and giving your 1/18 scale RC truck genuine street credibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres compatible with all Losi 1/18 Mini LMT models? — These MT tyres are designed for the 1/18 Mini LMT platform and are specifically compatible with the Mini LMT 4x4 Brushed Monster Truck RTR variants, including the Grave Digger, Son-Uva Digger, Zombie 2S, and Megalodon 2S models. The pre-mounted configuration ensures perfect fitment on all these models without modification.
- What is the difference between MT (Mud Terrain) and other tyre types for RC cars? — MT tyres feature larger, more aggressive lugs with greater spacing compared to street or SCT (Short Course Truck) tyres. This design sacrifices on-road smoothness and top speed for dramatically superior off-road grip, traction in loose surfaces, and climbing ability over rocks and obstacles. For serious off-road bashers and trail runners in the UK, MT tyres are the definitive choice.
- Do pre-mounted tyres come ready to use? — Yes, completely. These tyres arrive mounted on the beadlock wheels and require no additional preparation, mounting, or balancing. Simply unbox them and install onto your Mini LMT's axles using the appropriate nuts or clips specific to your model.
- What is a beadlock wheel and why does it matter? — A beadlock wheel uses a mechanical clamping ring (the beadlock) to physically secure the tyre bead to the wheel face. This prevents tyre slippage during aggressive acceleration or cornering and stops the sidewall from rolling under the wheel during extreme driving. Beadlock wheels are particularly valuable for off-road RC vehicles where extreme performance is demanded.
- Can I use these tyres on other Losi 1/18 models? — These tyres are specifically engineered for the Mini LMT platform and may not be compatible with other 1/18 scale Losi models due to differences in wheel mounting, suspension geometry, and suspension travel. Always verify compatibility before purchasing replacement parts for alternative models.
- How often will I need to replace these tyres? — Tyre lifespan depends entirely on usage frequency, terrain harshness, and driving style. Casual bashers might enjoy hundreds of running hours from a single set, whilst competitive or heavy-use operators might wear through them within tens of running hours. Keeping tyres clean and storing them indoors extends their serviceable life significantly.
