Key Features

• Soft-Compound Rubber — The soft compound formulation provides excellent traction on dirt and loose surfaces, allowing your Bandit to maintain grip through corners and acceleration zones without sacrificing durability for everyday bashing.

• Graphite Grey Multi-Spoke Wheels — The wheels feature a classic multi-spoke design in professional graphite grey, complementing the Bandit's aesthetics while providing strong structural support for off-road use.

Technical Performance

The Alias 2.2" rear tyres represent Traxxas's engineering philosophy of balancing performance with practicality. The soft compound rubber is specifically formulated to provide maximum traction on dirt and loose outdoor surfaces, which is essential for maintaining control during aggressive acceleration, braking, and cornering on unprepared terrain. The ribbed tread pattern has been carefully designed to bite into loose material whilst remaining durable enough for extended bashing sessions without premature wear. The integrated foam inserts are critical to tyre performance—they prevent the sidewalls from collapsing during aggressive manoeuvres and help maintain a consistent contact patch with the ground, which is vital for predictable handling through technical sections. The graphite grey multi-spoke wheels are manufactured from durable plastic or composite material that can withstand the impacts and stresses of off-road RC buggy driving. At 2.2 inches in diameter, these tyres are proportioned specifically for the Bandit's 1/10 scale, ensuring correct ground clearance, handling characteristics, and aesthetic balance. The pre-glued, pre-mounted design means Traxxas has already completed the precision work of tyre-to-wheel bonding, which is crucial for reliability and consistency—poorly glued tyres can shift or separate during use, but these factory-assembled units eliminate that risk entirely. For any RC car UK enthusiast running a Bandit, these tyres offer the reassurance of genuine manufacturer-backed components engineered to work perfectly with your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres suitable for Traxxas Bandit models? — Yes, these Alias 2.2" rear tyres (TRX2470) are specifically designed for the Traxxas Bandit 1/10 scale RC buggy. They come pre-mounted on 2.2-inch wheels with integrated foam inserts, ready to fit directly onto your Bandit's rear axle with no additional preparation required.
• What surfaces do these soft-compound tyres perform best on? — The soft compound formulation is optimised for dirt and loose surfaces, making them ideal for outdoor bashing on unprepared terrain, sandy tracks, and natural dirt courses. The ribbed tread pattern enhances grip and stability on these surfaces whilst remaining durable for extended use.
• Do I need to glue these tyres to the wheels? — No, these tyres arrive pre-glued and mounted to the wheels, so no additional gluing work is required. This ensures a professional, factory-standard bond and saves you time before you can drive.
• What are the foam inserts for? — The foam inserts provide crucial sidewall support during cornering and aggressive manoeuvres, preventing the tyre sidewalls from collapsing and helping maintain a consistent contact patch with the ground for predictable handling and improved traction.
• Can I use these tyres on other Traxxas models? — These 2.2-inch tyres are specifically designed for the Bandit rear axle. Compatibility with other Traxxas models should be verified before purchase, as different vehicles may require different tyre sizes or fitments. The 12mm hex fitting indicates they are designed for standard Bandit wheel hubs.
• How often will I need to replace these tyres? — Tyre lifespan depends on usage frequency and terrain. Regular bashers may need replacements after 10-20 hours of heavy use, whilst occasional drivers may get significantly more life. The soft compound formula is designed for maximum traction rather than longevity, so expect wear to be moderate with heavy use on abrasive terrain.
• Are these tyres waterproof? — The rubber compound is water-resistant, but the tyres are not sealed components. It's good practice to rinse your RC car after wet weather driving and allow it to dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion of metal parts, though the tyres themselves can handle wet conditions.
• What is the difference between soft, medium, and hard compound tyres? — Soft compound tyres (like these Alias units) provide maximum traction but wear faster—ideal for loose dirt surfaces. Medium compound tyres offer a balance between grip and durability. Hard compound tyres last longer but provide less traction, suited to harder-packed surfaces and high-speed running. Your choice depends on where you drive most frequently.
