Key Features
- Pre-Glued Construction — The tyres come factory-glued to the wheels, eliminating hours of manual mounting and gluing work, allowing you to get racing immediately without the frustration and mess of the gluing process.
- Pro-Trax Medium-Compound Rubber — These street tyres feature a carefully formulated medium-compound tyre rubber that provides an optimal balance between grip and durability, delivering consistent performance across various track conditions and driving styles without sacrificing tyre lifespan.
- Contoured Foam Inserts — Each tyre includes precision-moulded foam inserts that maintain structural integrity, prevent tyre deformation under cornering loads, and ensure predictable handling characteristics that competitive drivers demand.
- Chrome Multi-Spoke Wheels — The 2.0 mesh-design wheels feature a realistic aluminium finish with an attractive 10-fork spoke pattern that enhances the visual appearance of your touring sedan whilst maintaining lightweight construction for optimal performance.
- Lower Profile Design — The tyre profile has been optimised to increase sidewall strength and maximise contact patch with the racing surface, delivering improved grip and more responsive cornering feedback during high-speed on-road racing.
- Fits All Popular On-Road Sedans — With a standard 12mm hex fitting and 1.9-inch wheel diameter, these tyres are compatible with nearly all popular 1/10 scale on-road touring sedans and RC cars, making them a versatile upgrade choice.
- Complete Set of Four — You receive a full set with two left-hand and two right-hand tyres, providing everything needed for a complete four-wheel tyre replacement on your touring car.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Pro-Trax On-Road tyres represent the pinnacle of 1/10 scale racing tyre engineering. At 1.9 inches in diameter with a 12mm hex fitting, they mount securely onto the wheels using industry-standard connections found on virtually all competitive on-road RC cars. The medium-compound rubber formulation strikes the perfect balance for racing applications — soft enough to deliver excellent grip on asphalt and concrete surfaces, yet durable enough to withstand the punishment of repeated heat cycles and aggressive driving techniques. The contoured foam inserts are not merely cushioning; they are precision-engineered structural components that maintain the tyre's shape under lateral loads and prevent the common problem of tyre roll-over during hard cornering. The lower profile construction increases both sidewall strength and the contact patch, meaning more rubber meets the ground, translating to improved traction and more predictable handling. The chrome wheels feature a distinctive 10-fork design that balances aesthetic appeal with functional lightweight construction. Built to the exacting standards that competitive RC drivers expect, these tyres deliver measurable performance gains on the track, whether you are racing on circuit boards, outdoor asphalt, or prepared concrete racing surfaces. The pre-glued construction uses high-quality adhesive that has been proven through thousands of racing hours to maintain a permanent bond between tyre and wheel, eliminating the risk of tyre separation that can occur with poorly glued alternatives.
