The MT-Pioneer series represents Louise RC's commitment to delivering soft compound tyres that excel in both on-road and off-road conditions. The soft rubber formulation grips extremely well on loose surfaces, tarmac and mixed terrain, making these tyres versatile enough for bashers who want to take their 1/10 monster truck anywhere.

Supplied as a pair (two complete wheel and tyre assemblies), these Louise RC wheels are available in smart black to complement the classic ARRMA Granite aesthetic. The 14mm hex fitment is the standard configuration for Granite 4x4 vehicles, ensuring perfect compatibility without any guesswork. If you're searching for reliable 1/10 monster truck tyres UK-wide, the MT-Pioneer range offers dependable performance at a competitive price point.

Key Features

• Soft Compound Rubber — The soft compound is specifically engineered to provide maximum grip and bite on a wide range of surfaces, from loose dirt and gravel to smooth concrete and tarmac, which means you'll experience better traction and more predictable handling in varied terrain conditions.
• Pre-Glued Construction — These tyres arrive ready-mounted and glued to the wheels, eliminating the time-consuming preparation step of applying adhesive yourself and ensuring a reliable bond that will withstand hard bashing and competitive use.
• 14mm Hex Fitment — The industry-standard 14mm hex connection ensures seamless compatibility with ARRMA Granite 4x4 vehicles and other 1/10 monster trucks using the same hub standard, so you can swap them on confidently.
• Black Wheel Design — The sleek black finish complements the ARRMA Granite 4x4's aggressive styling whilst remaining understated and practical, hiding dirt and brake dust between cleaning sessions.
• Included Insert — Each tyre comes with a pre-installed foam insert, which provides the structural support and cushioning that allows the tyre to maintain its shape under load and impact whilst absorbing bumps and ruts during driving.
• Pair Supply — Receiving two complete assemblies means you have a full set of spares ready to go, or you can rotate them with your existing set to extend overall tyre lifespan through even wear distribution.
• 1/2 Inch Wheel Offset — The 1/2 inch offset geometry has been selected to deliver the correct track width and stance for the ARRMA Granite platform, ensuring optimal suspension geometry and handling characteristics without rubbing or fitment issues.

Technical Performance

The Louise RC MT-Pioneer 1/10 Soft tyres demonstrate excellent engineering across multiple performance dimensions. The tyre dimensions of 70.2mm width and 136.9mm overall diameter position these wheels perfectly within the 1/10 monster truck category, providing adequate ground clearance whilst maintaining a realistic appearance. The soft rubber compound sits at the forgiving end of the durability spectrum, meaning these tyres will wear faster than harder compounds during extended high-speed running, but they will reward you with noticeably superior grip during acceleration, cornering and braking. The pre-installed foam inserts are critical to performance; they maintain tyre shape during cornering g-forces, prevent the rubber from rolling off the rim during aggressive driving, and provide a degree of compliance that allows the suspension to function correctly. The black colour absorbs heat during extended driving sessions, which is normal for soft compound tyres and can actually benefit grip levels. These tyres are designed to work optimally in temperatures between approximately 10°C and 35°C, making them suitable for outdoor RC bashing throughout the UK year-round. The glued construction means these are ready to use immediately upon unboxing, with no adhesive curing time required.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these Louise RC MT-Pioneer tyres suitable for an ARRMA Granite 4x4? — Yes, absolutely. These tyres are specifically designed and tested for the ARRMA Granite 4x4 platform. The 14mm hex fitment and wheel offset have been engineered to work perfectly with the Granite's suspension geometry, ensuring proper handling and no fitment issues.
• Do I need to glue these tyres myself? — No. These tyres come pre-glued from the factory, meaning the rubber is already bonded to the wheel rim. You can install them on your vehicle immediately without waiting for adhesive to cure or investing in separate glue products.
• What is the difference between soft and hard compound tyres? — Soft compound tyres, like these MT-Pioneer units, offer superior grip and traction across varied terrains because the rubber is more pliable and conforms more readily to surface irregularities. However, they wear faster during use. Hard compound tyres last longer but provide less grip. For bashers and recreational drivers, soft compounds are often the better choice.
• How long will these tyres last? — Tyre lifespan depends heavily on driving style, surface conditions and maintenance. Soft compound tyres typically last between 8-15 hours of active driving time before visible wear becomes apparent. Regular drivers often purchase spare tyre sets to rotate usage and extend overall lifespan.
• Can I use these tyres on other 1/10 vehicles? — The 14mm hex fitting is standard across many 1/10 monster trucks and stadium trucks, so these may fit other vehicles using that hub standard. However, Louise RC specifically engineered these for the ARRMA Granite platform, so fitment and performance on other vehicles cannot be guaranteed. Always check your vehicle's hub specifications before purchase.
• Are these tyres suitable for beginners? — Yes. The MT-Pioneer soft compound is forgiving and provides good grip for drivers still developing car control skills. The pre-glued construction means beginners don't need to master tyre gluing techniques before running. These represent an excellent entry point into the RC hobby.
• What surfaces do these tyres perform best on? — The soft compound excels on loose dirt, grass, gravel, and mixed outdoor terrain. They also perform adequately on tarmac and concrete but are not optimised for high-speed paved running. These are genuine all-terrain tyres rather than specialist track tyres.
• Do these tyres come with wheels or just rubber? — These are complete pre-glued wheel and tyre assemblies. The rubber is permanently bonded to the black wheel rim, so you're receiving two finished products ready to bolt onto your Granite 4x4's front and rear axles.
