This comprehensive four-tyre set combines premium nitrile rubber construction with thoughtfully engineered tread patterns to deliver exceptional performance across a variety of indoor and outdoor surfaces.

The NitraGrip series represents Method RC's commitment to practical, high-performance tyre solutions for small-scale RC vehicles. Each set comprises two front tyres and two rear tyres, all pre-mounted on robust closed-face wheels with 7mm hex hubs and ready to drop straight onto your buggy.

Available in an eye-catching pink colour, these tyres are finished to a high standard and engineered to handle both smooth indoor tracks and rougher outdoor terrain. The complete set of four pre-glued tyres eliminates the need for separate glue and setup time, allowing you to focus on driving rather than maintenance. For anyone operating a 1/24 scale micro buggy platform with 7mm hex hubs, these tyres represent a substantial upgrade that will noticeably improve steering response, traction and overall handling characteristics.
Key Features
- Premium Nitrile Rubber Compound — The ultra-soft hardness nitrile rubber is the signature material of the NitraGrip series and provides exceptional grip and durability across both indoor and outdoor surfaces, ensuring your micro-scale buggy maintains traction in a variety of driving conditions.
- Differentiated Front and Rear Tread Patterns — The front tyres feature a striped narrow ribbed design with a smooth surface specifically engineered to enhance steering precision and responsiveness, whilst the rear tyres incorporate a proven nano stud tread pattern with raised micro-pins that deliver stable traction and reliable acceleration.
- Closed-Face Wheel Design — The durable closed-dish wheels protect the tyres from dust and debris, which is essential for maintaining performance in varied environments and extending the lifespan of both wheels and tyre inserts.
- 7mm Hex Drive System — The secure 7mm hex hubs ensure a perfect fit on compatible 1/24 scale buggy platforms and provide quick, tool-free installation and removal for convenient maintenance and tyre swaps.
- Precision Open-Cell Foam Inserts — Factory-installed precision-cut open-cell foam inserts maintain consistent tyre shape and support performance throughout extended driving sessions, preventing tyre deformation and ensuring predictable handling characteristics.
- Factory-Mounted and Pre-Glued — All four tyres arrive fully assembled and glued, ready to use straight from the box, eliminating the time-consuming process of mounting, gluing and curing that would otherwise delay your first run.
- All-Terrain Capability — The NitraGrip line excels on both indoor and outdoor surfaces, making these tyres versatile enough for track racing, casual backyard bashing or competitive events.
Technical Performance
These 1/24 scale micro buggy tyres represent a significant engineering achievement in small-scale RC tyre design. The 33mm tyre diameter combined with the differentiated width specifications—11mm for the front and 18mm for the rear—creates an optimal weight distribution and handling balance for the micro-buggy platform. The ultra-soft nitrile rubber compound is engineered to provide maximum grip without sacrificing durability, a critical balance in small-scale racing where tyre wear can quickly become expensive. The striped narrow ribbed front tyres deliver enhanced steering accuracy by reducing tyre rolling resistance during turns, whilst the nano stud rear tread pattern with its raised micro-pins maximises contact patch during acceleration and delivers the stable traction necessary for competitive lap times. The open-cell foam inserts are precision-cut to specifications that maintain the exact tyre profile under load, preventing the tyre deflection that would otherwise result in unpredictable handling and inconsistent lap times. The closed-face wheel design protects against debris ingestion and provides a professional appearance whilst serving a practical function in extending tyre life. Factory mounting and gluing to the 7mm hex hubs means these tyres arrive in race-ready condition, with no curing time required before use. The combination of materials, construction method and engineering design makes this a premium solution for anyone serious about micro-scale buggy performance in the UK RC car market.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for both indoor and outdoor use? — Yes, the NitraGrip line is specifically designed to excel on all-terrain surfaces, making these tyres equally capable on indoor tracks and outdoor terrain including grass, gravel and tarmac. The ultra-soft nitrile rubber compound adapts to surface variations and provides consistent grip across different conditions.
- What scale buggy do these tyres fit? — These tyres are engineered specifically for 1/24 scale micro-buggy platforms with 7mm hex hubs. The 33mm tyre diameter is precisely sized for this scale, so they will not fit other scales such as 1/10 or 1/8 buggies which require much larger tyres.
- Do I need to glue these tyres myself? — No, one of the key advantages of these tyres is that they arrive factory-mounted and pre-glued, ready to use immediately upon receipt. This eliminates waiting for adhesive to cure and removes the risk of improper gluing that could cause tyre separation during use.
- What is the difference between the front and rear tyre designs? — The front tyres feature a smooth ribbed narrow design that prioritises steering response and turning precision, whilst the rear tyres have a nano stud tread pattern with raised micro-pins that maximise traction and acceleration. This differentiation allows each axle to be optimised for its specific performance requirements.
- Can I use these tyres as replacements for worn tyres? — Absolutely. These tyres are supplied as a complete set of four and can be used as direct replacements for worn tyres on compatible 1/24 scale buggies. The 7mm hex fitting ensures compatibility with any buggy platform specified for this hub size.
- What colour are these tyres? — These tyres are finished in a distinctive pink colour that makes your micro-scale buggy stand out on the track or at the bashing spot whilst maintaining a professional appearance suitable for competitive racing.
- Are the closed-face wheels important? — Yes, the closed-dish wheel design serves two important functions: it protects the tyres and foam inserts from dust and debris that would otherwise compromise performance and tyre longevity, and it provides a finished, professional appearance to your buggy.
