Technical Performance

The Traxxas Tyres, Hoosier dual profile 4.3x1.7 - 2.2/3.0 inches represent the pinnacle of short course tyre engineering for 1/10 scale RC racing. The dual profile construction is a sophisticated engineering solution that allows racers to adapt their vehicle setup to changing track conditions without purchasing multiple tyre sets. The 4.3x1.7-inch overall dimensions refer to the tread width and sidewall measurements, whilst the dual profile designation indicates that the tyre operates across two different effective diameters depending on load and track surface. The 2.2-inch outer diameter is the nominal rolling diameter under normal racing load, whilst the 3.0-inch inner diameter refers to the wheel pocket diameter, creating a profile that manages both vertical compliance and lateral stiffness precisely. The included foam inserts are engineered to work in harmony with the tyre compound, providing the correct amount of support without over-stiffening the tyre, which would reduce traction and create unpredictable handling. Hoosier's compound technology has been refined through countless hours of professional motorsport racing, and that expertise translates directly to improved lap times and more consistent performance across a full race meeting. The rubber compound is optimised for the temperatures and loads experienced during short course racing, providing reliable grip whether you're running on clay, dirt, asphalt or mixed-surface tracks common to UK RC racing venues.

• Are foam inserts essential? — Yes, the foam inserts included with these tyres are essential components that provide proper tyre support and stability during hard cornering and over bumpy terrain. They help maintain consistent tyre shape, improve handling predictability and reduce tyre flex, all of which contribute to faster lap times and more responsive vehicle control.
• Will these tyres fit my Traxxas short course truck? — These tyres are engineered for 1/10 scale short course vehicles and are confirmed compatible with all Traxxas Slash Modified models. If you own a different short course truck, you should verify compatibility with the specific model before ordering to ensure fitment.
• How often will I need to replace these tyres? — Tyre life depends on your usage, track surface and driving intensity. Serious racers running multiple heats often rotate and replace tyres regularly, whilst casual users may see several months of use. The hard-wearing Hoosier compound is designed for durability and longevity compared to softer alternatives.
• Can I use these tyres on road or carpet surfaces? — These tyres are specifically engineered for dirt and short course racing surfaces. Using them on tarmac, concrete or carpet will cause rapid wear and is not recommended. For indoor racing or tarmac surfaces, you would need purpose-built tyres designed for those conditions.
