Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the 32 shore D-R3 tyres and other hardness options? — Sweep offer the D-R3 range in five different shore hardness ratings: 24, 28, 32, 36 and 40 degree. The 32 shore option provides an excellent all-round balance, offering good grip for faster lap times whilst maintaining reasonable tyre life for recreational and competitive track use. The softer 24 and 28 degree options provide maximum grip for wet conditions or low-grip surfaces, whilst the harder 36 and 40 degree options are ideal for high-grip tracks or hot weather conditions where grip levels are already high and you want to prioritise tyre longevity.
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Whilst these are high-performance tyres developed for competitive racing, the pre-glued configuration and stable, repeatable handling characteristics make them ideal for anyone using an RC touring car. Beginners benefit from the consistent performance and lack of setup variables, whilst intermediate and advanced drivers appreciate the refined compound and extended lifespan. The 32 degree hardness is particularly beginner-friendly as it performs well across a broad range of track conditions.
- How long do these tyres last? — The D-R3 compound is specifically engineered with extended lifespan in mind. The new raw materials provide minimal drop-off in performance throughout the tyre's working life, meaning you'll enjoy consistent lap times for significantly longer than budget tyre alternatives. Actual lifespan depends on track surface, driving style and intensity of use, but these tyres are built for durability without sacrificing grip.
- Can I get medium insert versions instead of soft inserts? — Yes. Whilst this listing includes soft inserts (which deliver faster lap times), Sweep D-R3 tyres are also available with medium inserts, which offer enhanced longevity and durability. Medium inserts are particularly popular with drivers running extended practice sessions or casual recreational racing where maximum tyre life is the priority. Contact RC Model Shop to enquire about availability of the medium insert version.
- What wheels are these tyres mounted on? — These tyres come pre-glued on Sweep EXP-WAW soft wheels, which are proven performers in the touring car community. The soft wheel construction provides excellent shock absorption and consistent grip characteristics across different track surfaces.
- Do I need to glue these tyres myself? — No. These are pre-glued tyres, meaning the adhesive work is already completed at the factory. You simply unbox them and mount them directly onto your touring car chassis. This saves significant time and eliminates variables associated with DIY gluing, ensuring perfect consistency across multiple sets.
