Key Features
- Soft Compound Rubber — The soft compound formulation delivers exceptional grip and traction across various terrain types, which is essential for maximising acceleration, cornering speed and overall control during aggressive driving or competitive racing sessions.
- Pre-Glued and Mounted — These tyres arrive fully glued to the wheels and ready to install, eliminating the time-consuming process of mounting and gluing tyres yourself and getting you on the track or field immediately without additional preparation.
- 14mm Hex Fitment — The standard 14mm hex connection ensures broad compatibility across numerous 1/10 scale RC vehicles, particularly ARRMA's popular Granite 4x4 monster truck platform, making these a versatile upgrade option for any compatible model in your collection.
- Professional-Grade Construction — Louise RC manufactured these components to premium standards, ensuring consistent performance, durability and reliability across multiple driving sessions and varying conditions.
- Optimised Tyre Dimensions — With a tyre width of 70.2mm and diameter of 136.4mm, these proportions are specifically engineered to deliver balanced performance characteristics in terms of acceleration, top speed potential and handling stability.
- 1/2-Inch Wheel Offset — The 1/2-inch offset geometry positions the wheels for optimal weight distribution and stability, contributing to improved cornering behaviour and reduced body roll during aggressive manoeuvres.
- Includes Foam Insert — The integrated foam insert provides essential structural support for the tyre sidewalls during cornering and acceleration, maintaining tyre shape and preventing deformation that could compromise handling consistency.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — These tyres are suitable for both front and rear mounting positions on compatible vehicles, allowing drivers to maintain consistent characteristics across all four wheels or mix and match with different setups as needed.
- Black Finish — The classic black colour provides an aggressive appearance that complements most RC monster truck body styles and paint schemes whilst maintaining a professional aesthetic.
Technical Performance
The Louise RC MT-Uphill 1/10 Soft Hex 14mm tyre set represents precision engineering combined with practical user-friendly design. The soft rubber compound is specifically formulated to provide maximum grip and traction, making these tyres particularly suitable for drivers who demand responsive handling and predictable steering feedback. The tyre dimensions of 70.2mm width and 136.4mm diameter create a contact patch that balances acceleration capability with cornering grip, whilst the foam insert prevents excessive deformation under load, maintaining consistent performance throughout extended driving sessions. The 1/2-inch wheel offset geometry is engineered to work harmoniously with typical ARRMA Granite 4x4 suspension geometry, ensuring proper weight distribution and minimising excessive body roll during high-speed cornering. The fact that these tyres arrive pre-glued and mounted on wheels speaks to Louise RC's commitment to customer convenience and safety — professional mounting ensures the tyres are correctly seated and balanced without risk of installation errors. The black wheels complement the tyre aesthetic and provide a finished appearance without requiring additional cosmetic modifications. These are not entry-level consumables but rather quality components designed for drivers who understand the importance of tyre choice in determining overall vehicle performance and handling characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for my ARRMA Granite 4x4 monster truck? — Yes, these Louise RC MT-Uphill tyres are specifically designed for ARRMA Granite 4x4 and other 1/10 scale monster trucks with 14mm hex wheel mounting. The 1/2-inch wheel offset and soft compound construction make them an excellent choice for this platform, whether you're racing or bashing.
- Do I need to glue or mount these tyres myself? — No, these tyres come fully mounted and glued to the wheels, ready for immediate installation on your vehicle. This professional pre-assembly saves significant preparation time and eliminates the risk of mounting errors that could affect performance or durability.
- What makes the soft compound better than other options? — Soft compound tyres offer superior grip and traction compared to medium or hard compounds, particularly important on mixed terrain or when aggressive acceleration and cornering are required. The trade-off is slightly faster wear rates, but for most RC drivers, the improved handling makes this worthwhile.
- Can I use these on the front and rear of my RC truck? — Yes, these MT-Uphill tyres are suitable for both front and rear mounting positions, allowing you to either match all four corners or develop a mixed setup with different compounds if desired.
- How often will I need to replace these tyres? — Tyre replacement frequency depends entirely on driving style, terrain and intensity of use. Aggressive drivers on abrasive surfaces will see faster wear, whilst casual weekend bashing on softer ground may allow much longer service life. Inspect regularly for excessive tread wear or sidewall damage.
- What is the difference between the MT-Uphill and other Louise RC models? — Louise RC manufactures several tyre series optimised for different purposes. The MT-Uphill soft compound is specifically engineered for maximum grip and traction, making it ideal for competitive racing or technical track layouts where grip takes priority. Other series may offer different balance points between grip and durability.
- Are these competitive racing grade or suitable for casual bashing? — These are quality components suitable for both purposes. The soft compound delivers professional-level grip for competitive track racing, but they're equally at home on casual weekend bashing where drivers appreciate the improved traction and handling response compared to harder alternatives.
