The non-belted construction keeps weight minimal without sacrificing durability, making these tyres ideal for small-scale trucks where every gram matters for handling and responsiveness.

• Webbed Base Structure — Each tread block is reinforced with a webbed base structure that minimises flex during cornering and acceleration, providing predictable handling characteristics that allow drivers to push harder with confidence.

Technical Performance

The Geoform All-Terrain 1/16 Short Course Tyre combines advanced rubber formulation with intelligent tread engineering to deliver performance across diverse terrain. The tyre diameter of 2.5 inches (63.5mm) with a width of 1.1 inches (27.9mm) has been specifically dimensioned for the ARRMA Mojave Grom's suspension geometry, ensuring optimal ride height and handling balance. Each complete wheel and tyre assembly weighs just 32 grams, minimising unsprung mass and contributing to the responsive handling characteristics that make small-scale RC vehicles so enjoyable to drive. The SWITCH wheels feature precision-engineered specifications including a 12mm hex hub size, 1.2-inch (30.5mm) bead diameter, 1.0-inch (25.4mm) wheel width, and 0.16-inch (4mm) centre bore. With a back spacing of 0.8 inches (20.3mm) and front spacing of 0.1 inches (2.5mm), the wheels maintain a zero-offset (0mm) setup that ensures proper tyre clearance and handling geometry. The injection-moulded construction provides excellent durability while maintaining the lightweight profile essential for 1/16 scale performance. The webbed base structure of the tread blocks prevents excessive flex under acceleration and cornering loads, maintaining predictable handling through high-speed runs and technical sections. Whether you're running your RC car UK on a local track or bashing across mixed terrain, the engineering precision evident in every specification demonstrates Method RC's commitment to delivering performance components that genuinely improve your driving experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres suitable for the ARRMA Mojave Grom? — Yes, these tyres are engineered specifically for the ARRMA 1/16 Mojave Grom with precise fitment and proper offset designed for this vehicle. They are the recommended upgrade from the stock tyres and offer superior grip, durability, and handling characteristics across multiple terrain types.
• What surfaces do these tyres perform best on? — The Geoform All-Terrain tyre delivers confident performance on dirt, grass, gravel, and softer surfaces. Multiple customer reviews confirm excellent grip and durability on skateparks, high-grip terrain, and gravel surfaces, making them genuinely versatile for both casual bashing and performance driving.
• Do these tyres work on other 1/16 RC cars? — While specifically engineered for the ARRMA Mojave Grom, customer reviews confirm these tyres have been successfully fitted to other 1/16 vehicles such as the Arrma Typhon Grom 223S BLX and other compatible models with 12mm hex connections. However, fitment on vehicles other than the Mojave Grom may require verification of suspension geometry.
• How long do these tyres last compared to stock tyres? — Customer feedback indicates these Geoform tyres last significantly longer than original equipment tyres, particularly when bashing on high-grip terrain and skateparks. The durable non-belted construction and reinforced webbed base structure contribute to extended tyre life, and the integrated wear indicator helps you track remaining lifespan.
• Are these ready to run or do I need to prepare them? — These tyres are completely ready to run. They arrive pre-glued and mounted on the SWITCH wheels with foam inserts included. You simply need to install them on your ARRMA Mojave Grom by connecting the 12mm hex—no additional preparation, gluing, or foaming is required.
• What is the difference between belted and non-belted Geoform tyres? — The belted Geoform tyres are designed for larger-scale vehicles and provide additional sidewall support through reinforced belts. These non-belted versions maintain the proven Geoform tread pattern and performance characteristics while reducing weight specifically for 1/16 scale vehicles, making them ideal for small-scale RC short course trucks where lightweight construction enhances handling responsiveness.
• Can I use these tyres on 3S LiPo power? — Yes, customer reviews confirm these tyres perform excellently on 3S LiPo power. One user specifically noted that the Mojave Grom remains stable even at full throttle on 3S power with these tyres, and another reported using them successfully on a Typhon Grom 223S BLX which runs 3S LiPo.
• What makes these tyres better than stock equipment? — Customers consistently report improved handling, better grip on all surfaces, reduced ballooning at speed, and extended durability compared to original equipment tyres. The Geoform tread pattern and reinforced webbed base structure provide more predictable handling, while the premium rubber formulation grips better across varied terrain types.
