Technical Performance
The METHOD RC NitraGrip 1/24 Truck Tyres are engineered with meticulous attention to detail, combining advanced material science with proven RC tyre design principles. The ultra-soft Nitrile Rubber compound is the result of extensive development work, specifically formulated to deliver superior grip on indoor surfaces whilst maintaining consistency across various track conditions. The raised micro-pin tread pattern is not simply aesthetic; it actively contributes to the tyre's performance by creating additional contact points with the track surface, resulting in improved acceleration traction and cornering stability. The precision-cut open-cell foam inserts are matched precisely to the tyre's specifications, ensuring that the tyre maintains its shape under acceleration and braking whilst providing the necessary support for stable handling throughout extended driving sessions. Each set measures 33mm in diameter and 18mm in width, perfectly proportioned for 1/28 scale stadium trucks. The closed-face wheel design incorporates a 7mm hex hub, the industry standard for Losi Micro-T platforms, and the durable construction ensures a secure, slop-free connection that will withstand the demands of competitive racing or recreational driving. The factory-glued mounting means the tyres arrive in a state of perfect readiness, with no waiting time for glue to cure before you can use them. All four tyres in the set have been assembled and tested to meet METHOD RC's quality standards, ensuring consistent performance from the moment you unpack them.
