Technical Performance
These ARRMA dBoots Chevron MT tyres are engineered specifically for the GROM 1/16 scale platform, delivering performance characteristics tailored to this vehicle class. The multi-surface chevron tread pattern has been carefully developed to optimise contact patch and bite across different ground conditions, a critical factor for maintaining speed and control during competitive or recreational driving sessions. The high-quality rubber formulation strikes a balance between durability and grip, ensuring that tyres maintain their performance characteristics across multiple driving sessions without premature wear or glazing. The wheels feature a 12mm hex drive, the industry-standard connection method that provides secure engagement with your RC car's front and rear axles whilst allowing for easy wheel removal and installation during maintenance or repairs. The dish-design wheels incorporate tough nylon construction that has been proven to withstand the rigours of intense driving sessions, including rough landings from jumps, high-speed impacts with obstacles, and the constant steering inputs that characterise modern RC driving. The distinctive yellow colour finish is achieved through advanced moulding techniques that ensure colour consistency and durability, resisting fading even after extended exposure to sunlight during outdoor driving sessions. Whether you're driving your GROM on grass, concrete, dirt or mixed terrain, these tyres provide the grip and reliability needed to maximise performance and enjoyment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA models are these dBoots Chevron tyres compatible with? — These tyres are designed as standard parts for the ARRMA GROM 1/16 scale monster truck platform. They are specifically compatible with the GROM 4X4 RTR brushed monster truck models, including both the standard GORGON GROM and QUAKE GROM variants. Before purchasing, verify that your GROM model uses the 12mm hex wheel connection system, as this ensures perfect fitment.
- Do these tyres come pre-glued, and will I need to apply additional adhesive? — Yes, these dBoots Chevron tyres arrive fully pre-glued to the wheels, meaning no additional tyre adhesive is required. The factory gluing is performed to exacting standards, ensuring reliable bond strength and consistent tyre retention through aggressive driving sessions. This pre-glued approach minimises downtime and eliminates the risk of improper glue application that could compromise tyre performance or durability.
- What is the advantage of the chevron tread pattern over other RC tyre designs? — The chevron tread pattern is engineered to deliver multi-surface traction, meaning these tyres perform well across varied terrain including grass, concrete, dirt and mixed conditions. The distinctive angled tread blocks help channel water and dirt away from the contact patch whilst maintaining consistent grip, making these tyres reliable choice for UK drivers who might encounter changing weather conditions or varied driving surfaces during outdoor sessions.
- Are these tyres suitable for competitive racing or just casual bashing? — These ARRMA dBoots Chevron MT tyres are suitable for both competitive and recreational driving. The high-quality rubber compound and engineered tread pattern provide reliable performance for racing applications, whilst the durability and value make them excellent for weekend bashing and casual driving. Many UK RC clubs and competitors choose dBoots tyres for regular training and competition use.
- How long do these tyres typically last before requiring replacement? — The lifespan of these tyres depends on driving intensity, surface conditions and maintenance practices. The high-quality rubber formulation is designed for long-lasting durability, typically providing excellent performance through multiple driving sessions before tread wear becomes significant. Regular inspection for wear patterns and adequate tyre pressure maintenance will help maximise tyre lifespan.
- What is the difference between the 12mm hex connection and other wheel connection types? — The 12mm hex is the industry-standard connection method for 1/16 and small 1/10 scale RC vehicles, providing an excellent balance of strength and ease of servicing. This standard connection means wheels are simple to remove for maintenance or replacement, using only a basic hex socket, and ensures your GROM is compatible with a wide range of aftermarket wheel options from various manufacturers.
- Can I use these yellow dBoots Chevron tyres on other ARRMA models beyond the GROM? — These tyres are specifically designed and tested for the GROM 1/16 scale platform and should only be used on vehicles fitted with the correct 12mm hex wheel connections. Attempting to fit them to incompatible models may result in poor fitment, reduced performance or wheel retention issues. Always verify compatibility before purchase or installation.
