Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres compatible with my RC10T? — Yes, these AS7871 narrow front tyres are the original specification front tyres for the RC10T platform. However, we recommend consulting your RC10T manual and official parts list to confirm fitment before purchase, as different variants of the RC10T may have different specifications.
- What is the difference between narrow and wide front tyres for the RC10T? — The narrow front profile provides different weight distribution and steering characteristics compared to wider front tyres. The narrow profile is the correct specification for standard RC10T setups and delivers the handling balance that Team Associated engineered into the platform. Always refer to your manual to confirm which specification is correct for your model variant.
- Are these genuine Team Associated parts? — Yes, the AS7871 is an official Team Associated spare part supplied by authorised retailers including RC Model Shop. Using genuine spares ensures compatibility and maintains the intended performance characteristics of your RC10T.
- How long do RC10T tyres last? — The lifespan of RC tyres depends on frequency of use, driving surface, driving style and maintenance. Regular use on abrasive surfaces like outdoor tarmac will wear tyres faster than occasional indoor carpet use. These AS7871 spares provide a convenient way to restore your truck's grip and handling when existing tyres become worn.
- What surfaces are these tyres suitable for? — As standard specification RC10T front tyres, these are designed for the versatile on-road performance that the RC10T platform is known for, making them suitable for use on both indoor carpet tracks and outdoor hard tarmac surfaces at RC racing venues throughout the UK.
- Can these tyres be used on other RC models? — The AS7871 tyres are designed specifically for the RC10T platform. Whilst you could physically mount them on other vehicles, they are engineered for RC10T geometry and handling characteristics. For other models, consult the manufacturer's parts list and manual to identify the correct tyre specification.
- How do I know when my RC10T tyres need replacing? — Signs that your RC10T tyres need replacement include visible wear and flattening of the tread pattern, reduced grip and traction, loss of steering responsiveness, and visible cracks or damage to the rubber. If your truck feels less responsive or doesn't corner as sharply as it used to, worn tyres are often the culprit, and fresh AS7871 spares can restore that original handling feel.
