Key Features
- Multi-surface 2HO tread pattern — This innovative tread design delivers awesome traction in all conditions, whether you're running on track, tarmac, dirt or mixed surfaces, making it an ideal choice for versatile RC buggy owners who don't want to swap tyres between different venues.
- Pre-glued for immediate use — The tyres arrive fully glued to the wheels, eliminating the tedious and time-consuming process of applying tyre glue and waiting for it to cure, allowing you to install them and drive immediately.
- Vent holes for superior performance — Strategically positioned vent holes in the tyre allow air to move in and out of the tyre, improving traction during aggressive driving and helping the tyres absorb bumps and landings more effectively, whilst also allowing water and dirt to escape, preventing tyre imbalance and extending tyre lifespan.
- High-quality rubber compound — The tyres are manufactured from premium rubber that delivers excellent durability, resisting wear and degradation even during intense bashing or competitive racing sessions, ensuring your investment lasts through countless runs.
- Turbofan wheel design — The distinctive Turbofan-style wheels aren't just head-turning ARRMA styling; they're engineered for increased strength, providing the rigidity needed during extreme driving action while maintaining the low weight necessary for competitive performance.
- Tough nylon wheel construction — The wheels are built from durable nylon material that can withstand impacts, landings and aggressive driving on all surfaces, from carpet to concrete, without cracking or splitting under stress.
- 17mm hex connection — This industry-standard hex size provides strength during extreme driving action, ensuring the wheels remain firmly attached even during high-speed corners and aggressive manoeuvres, whilst also offering easy servicing when maintenance is required.
- High-quality foam inserts — The included foam inserts feature excellent memory return characteristics, meaning they compress when landing or hitting bumps but quickly return to their original shape, providing the perfect balance between aggressive grip and predictable, easy-to-drive handling characteristics.
- Black colour with ARRMA styling — The distinctive black wheels with ARRMA badging give your buggy a professional, race-ready appearance whilst also providing excellent visibility on the track or terrain.
Technical Performance
The dBoots 2-HO tyre set is engineered with meticulous attention to detail, combining precision manufacturing with proven RC engineering principles. The 3.3-inch wheel bead diameter (83mm) and 1.7-inch width (44mm) have been specifically calculated to provide optimal ground contact without excessive rolling resistance, whilst the 4.6-inch overall diameter (117mm) ensures compatibility with standard 1/8 scale buggy suspensions. The integrated foam inserts are not generic aftermarket components; they're specially formulated to work in harmony with the 2-HO tread pattern, delivering progressive grip characteristics that allow drivers to trust the tyres during acceleration, cornering and braking. The pre-glued construction uses permanent adhesive, ensuring the tyre and wheel remain bonded throughout the tyre's lifespan without separation, unlike temporary mounting systems. The 17mm hex fitting provides superior strength compared to smaller hex sizes, critical for buggies experiencing the intense suspension forces during high-speed running. UK RC enthusiasts will appreciate that these are genuine ARRMA components, not third-party imitations, ensuring authenticity and reliability that matches your vehicle's specifications exactly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are dBoots 2-HO tyres suitable for 1/8 RC buggies? — Yes, the dBoots 2-HO tyre set is specifically designed for 1/8 scale RC buggies. The 3.3-inch wheel diameter and 17mm hex connection make them compatible with ARRMA TYPHON models including the TYPHON 223S BLX and TYPHON MEGA 665, as well as other 1/8 scale buggies with matching specifications.
- What does pre-glued mean and why does it matter? — Pre-glued means the tyres arrive already permanently bonded to the wheels using adhesive, eliminating the need to apply tyre glue yourself and wait for it to cure. This saves significant preparation time and ensures consistent, reliable mounting every time, which is especially important for competitive racing where tyre fitment consistency affects performance.
- Can I use these tyres on different surfaces? — Yes, the multi-surface 2HO tread pattern is specifically designed to deliver excellent traction across diverse terrain, including carpet, asphalt, dirt, concrete and mixed-surface racing venues, making them an ideal choice if you run at multiple locations.
- What makes the foam inserts special? — The foam inserts included with the 2-HO tyre set are specially designed to work with this specific tread pattern, featuring excellent memory return that allows them to compress during impacts and quickly return to shape. This provides the perfect balance between aggressive grip for traction and easy handling characteristics for predictable driving.
- Are these original ARRMA components? — Yes, the dBoots 2-HO tyre set is an authentic ARRMA component, not an aftermarket or third-party product. They're engineered to exact specifications for ARRMA buggies and carry the reliability you expect from genuine manufacturer parts.
- What is the advantage of the vent holes? — The strategically positioned vent holes serve multiple purposes: they allow air to move in and out of the tyre to improve traction, they help the tyre absorb bumps and landings more effectively by reducing air pressure spikes, and they allow water and dirt to escape from inside the tyre, preventing imbalance and extending the tyre's usable lifespan.
