If you're looking for a premium micro-scale tyre set that arrives ready to run, the NitraGrip 1/24 Truck Tyres are an excellent choice.

Key Features

• Ultra-soft Nitrile Rubber Compound — The signature material of the NitraGrip series, this premium ultra-soft rubber delivers superior grip on indoor surfaces, providing confident traction whether you're cornering hard, accelerating fast, or running mixed-surface tracks. The compound's properties ensure predictable and stable control that allows you to push harder with confidence.
• Raised Micro-Pin Tread Design — Working in harmony with the ultra-soft compound, the micro-pin tread pattern provides all-terrain capability in a micro-sized package, delivering stable and consistent traction across varied indoor surfaces from tile to carpet and everything in between.
• Pre-Mounted and Factory-Glued — Each of the four tyres in this set arrives pre-mounted on finished wheels and factory-glued, eliminating the need for assembly, gluing, or preparation. You can unbox this set and drive immediately, saving time and ensuring factory-quality mounting.
• Closed-Face Wheel Design with 7mm Hex Hub — The protective closed-face wheel design prevents dust and debris from entering the hub, extending tyre life and maintaining a secure, slop-free fit. The 7mm hex drive is the standard for 1/24 and 1/28 scale micro vehicles including the Losi Micro-T.
• Precision Open-Cell Foam Inserts — Each tyre is equipped with precision-cut open-cell foam inserts that maintain shape and support to complement the tyre's performance characteristics, ensuring the tyres work as an integrated system for optimal handling and control.
• Versatile Multi-Surface Performance — These tyres are engineered to work confidently on multiple surfaces including polished tile floors, plush carpet tracks, and mixed indoor surfaces, making them ideal for drivers who race at different venues or practice facilities.
• All-Terrain Capability in Micro Scale — The combination of the ultra-soft compound and micro-pin tread design delivers all-terrain performance in a micro-sized package, giving you the versatility to tackle any indoor track condition without needing multiple tyre sets.
• Durable Closed-Dish Wheel Construction — The wheels are engineered for durability and long-lasting use, with the closed-dish design protecting the tyre while maintaining a lightweight, balanced construction ideal for micro-scale performance.

Technical Performance

The METHOD RC NitraGrip 1/24 Truck Tyres represent a significant step forward in micro-scale tyre engineering. The ultra-soft Nitrile rubber compound is the cornerstone of this design philosophy—it's softer than standard RC tyre compounds, which means it conforms better to track surfaces and generates superior grip levels. This is particularly important in micro-scale racing where precision control and consistency are paramount. The raised micro-pin tread pattern is not simply aesthetic; it's a carefully engineered feature that works with the soft compound to bite into various surfaces whilst maintaining predictability. On polished indoor tracks, the pins provide multiple contact points that improve grip without sacrificing responsiveness. On carpet or rougher surfaces, the pins dig in further, providing increased traction exactly when you need it. The precision open-cell foam inserts inside each tyre are critical to performance—they maintain shape under cornering loads, prevent tyre ballooning during aggressive driving, and work with the tyre's sidewall to provide consistent handling characteristics. The closed-face wheel design isn't just protective; it's performance-enhancing, as it maintains a perfect seal around the hub and prevents any play or slop that would reduce steering precision. The 7mm hex hub is the industry standard for 1/24 and 1/28 scale vehicles, ensuring perfect compatibility with the Losi Micro-T platform and hundreds of other compatible vehicles. Factory mounting and gluing means these tyres are built to exact specifications in controlled manufacturing conditions, guaranteeing consistency and quality that you might struggle to achieve through manual assembly. The yellow colour provides excellent visibility on track, making it easier to track your vehicle's position and rotation during high-speed runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres ready to use straight from the box? — Yes, absolutely. These tyres are pre-mounted on finished wheels and factory-glued, so they're ready to drive immediately. Simply unbox them and install on your 1/24 scale truck—no additional preparation, gluing, or assembly is required.
• What vehicles are these tyres compatible with? — These tyres are designed for 1/24 scale vehicles with a 7mm hex hub, including the Losi Micro-T platform. They're also suitable for other compatible 1/24 and 1/28 scale vehicles that use a 7mm hex hub connector. Check your vehicle's manual for compatibility, but if your truck uses a 7mm hex hub, these tyres will fit perfectly.
• What surfaces do these tyres work best on? — The NitraGrip compound and micro-pin tread design are engineered for versatile multi-surface performance, working confidently on polished tile floors, plush carpet tracks, and mixed indoor surfaces. This makes them ideal for drivers who practice at different venues or race on varied track types without needing to carry multiple tyre sets.
• Why are these tyres more expensive than standard micro-scale tyres? — The NitraGrip series uses a premium ultra-soft Nitrile rubber compound that delivers noticeably superior grip and consistency compared to standard compounds. The raised micro-pin tread design is precision-engineered, the wheels are durable and precisely manufactured, and the foam inserts are precision-cut. Additionally, these tyres are factory-glued to exact specifications in controlled conditions, ensuring consistency and performance that's difficult to achieve through manual assembly. The performance gains justify the investment.
• What's the difference between the NitraGrip Truck and NitraGrip Buggy tyres? — The truck tyres (MTD0505Y) are designed for stadium truck vehicles and feature a tread pattern optimised for truck-style handling characteristics. The buggy tyres (MTD0606Y) feature a different tread pattern optimised for buggy platforms. Choose the truck tyres specifically if you're running a 1/24 stadium truck platform.
• How long do these tyres typically last? — Tyre lifespan depends on driving intensity, track conditions, and maintenance. The closed-face wheel design protects against debris ingestion, which extends tyre life significantly. These tyres are durable enough for competitive racing use, though like all RC tyres they will eventually wear and require replacement. Inspect regularly for wear and replace when tread depth reduces noticeably.
• Can I use these on outdoor tracks? — These tyres are engineered and optimised for indoor use on tile, carpet, and mixed indoor surfaces. Whilst they may function on outdoor surfaces, they're not specifically designed for outdoor dirt or grass tracks. For outdoor use, consider outdoor-specific tyre compounds which are formulated to handle dirt, rocks, and variable outdoor conditions.
• Do I need to balance these tyres? — These tyres are pre-mounted and factory-glued at the manufacturer, and the wheels are precision-manufactured. Balancing is typically not necessary for micro-scale vehicles, though if you notice handling inconsistencies, tyre balancing kits are available from RC Model Shop.
