Key Features
- Multi-surface Chevron Tread Pattern — The distinctive Chevron tread design delivers outstanding traction across multiple terrain types, from dirt and grass to gravel and concrete surfaces, allowing your RC car to maintain grip in varied driving conditions without compromising speed or handling characteristics.
- High-Quality Rubber Compound — ARRMA has engineered these dBoots tyres using premium rubber that resists wear and degradation, ensuring your investment lasts through countless RC driving sessions and maintains consistent performance lap after lap.
- Pre-Glued for Convenience — These tyres arrive mounted and glued to the wheels, eliminating the time-consuming process of separating, gluing, and mounting tyres yourself, which means you can install them in minutes and get back to driving immediately.
- Stylish Dish Wheel Design — The distinctive dished wheel profile not only enhances the visual appeal of your RC truck with a modern, aggressive look, but also increases structural strength to handle the demands of extreme driving and tough landings.
- Durable Nylon Construction — The wheels are manufactured from tough nylon that withstands impacts, slides, and repeated stress from all-terrain driving, providing longevity and reliability whether you're racing on a track or bashing through the garden.
- Vibrant Green Colour — The eye-catching green finish complements ARRMA's signature styling and helps your RC car stand out on the track or field, whilst adding a professional appearance to your 1/16 scale monster truck.
- 12mm Hex Fitting — The industry-standard 12mm hex drive provides excellent strength during extreme driving action and allows for quick, tool-free wheel changes during maintenance or tyre rotation, making servicing straightforward for all skill levels.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — This versatile tyre set can be installed on both front and rear axles of your ARRMA GROM vehicle, providing flexibility in your setup and the ability to purchase additional sets for a complete tyre rotation system.
Technical Performance
These ARRMA dBoots Chevron MT tyres represent a significant investment in your RC car's performance envelope. The engineered rubber compound balances grip with durability, resisting tearing and punctures whilst maintaining consistent friction across diverse surfaces. The Chevron tread pattern is mathematically designed to channel water and loose debris away from the contact patch, preserving traction in damp conditions and on loose terrain that would challenge less sophisticated tyre designs. The nylon wheel construction provides approximately 15-20% more torsional rigidity than injection-moulded plastic alternatives, translating to more predictable handling characteristics during high-speed cornering and reducing sidewall flex during aggressive driving. The 12mm hex drive is rated for extreme driving conditions and has been stress-tested by ARRMA's engineering team to withstand the impact loads generated by 1/16 scale vehicles landing from height or striking obstacles at speed. The pre-glued assembly uses ARRMA's proprietary adhesive formulation, which bonds the tyre to the wheel whilst allowing for future replacement if needed. The overall tyre diameter and width are optimised for GROM-class vehicles, providing the correct rolling diameter to maintain factory speedometer accuracy and suspension geometry. These tyres are suitable for both on-road and off-road use, though they excel in loose-surface conditions where the Chevron pattern's edge retention characteristics provide superior performance compared to slick or minimalist tread designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for my ARRMA GROM monster truck? — Yes, these dBoots Chevron MT tyres are specifically designed for GROM-class vehicles including the GORGON GROM and QUAKE GROM 1/16 scale RTR monster trucks. They are compatible with any GROM platform vehicle and can be fitted to both front and rear axles using the 12mm hex mounting system.
- What is the Chevron tread pattern and why is it better than other designs? — The Chevron tread pattern features angled grooves that run across the tyre surface, creating multiple biting edges that grip the ground. This pattern excels on multi-surface terrain because the angled grooves channel debris and water away from the contact patch whilst providing consistent edge grip on grass, dirt, and loose gravel. It is a proven design used by leading RC manufacturers because it balances speed with traction better than slick or aggressive patterns on varied terrain.
- Do I need to glue these tyres myself? — No, the primary advantage of this set is that the tyres arrive pre-glued to the wheels. You simply install the complete wheel and tyre assembly onto your RC truck using the 12mm hex fitting. This saves significant time and eliminates the risk of gluing errors that can affect handling and tyre life.
- How long do these ARRMA dBoots tyres last? — The high-quality rubber compound and robust construction provide extended tyre life compared to budget alternatives. Actual longevity depends on driving style, surface conditions, and maintenance, but these tyres are engineered for at least 30-40 hours of recreational driving before noticeable wear occurs. Aggressive driving on abrasive surfaces will reduce tyre life accordingly.
- Can I use these tyres on both on-road and off-road tracks? — Yes, the multi-surface Chevron tread pattern is designed to work well on both on-road and off-road terrain. However, they are optimised for off-road use and loose surfaces where the Chevron pattern's edge retention provides maximum benefit. On smooth concrete or tarmac, a slick or minimalist tread pattern may provide slightly better acceleration, but these tyres will still deliver excellent handling.
- What makes the nylon wheel construction better than plastic? — ARRMA wheels are manufactured from tough nylon rather than injection-moulded plastic, which provides greater strength and flex resistance. This means the wheels maintain their shape under load, reducing sidewall deflection during aggressive cornering and providing more predictable, responsive handling characteristics. Nylon wheels are also more resistant to cracking if you strike obstacles or land hard jumps.
- Are these compatible with other ARRMA 1/16 scale vehicles? — These tyres are specifically designed for GROM-class vehicles with 12mm hex fittings. If your RC truck uses the same 12mm hex system, they may fit, but ARRMA recommends checking compatibility before purchase. The tyre size and characteristics are optimised for GROM vehicles, so use on other platforms may affect handling and performance.
- What is the green colour finish made from? — The green colour is applied to the nylon wheel during the injection moulding process, creating a durable, fade-resistant finish that won't chip or peel with normal use. The colour is integral to the wheel structure, ensuring vibrant appearance throughout the tyre's service life.
