Technical Performance

The RC4WD BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM3 1.7" tyres represent a serious investment in performance-oriented scale RC engineering. Manufactured using RC4WD's advanced X2S³ compound, these tyres deliver exceptional grip characteristics across diverse terrain whilst maintaining the sidewall compliance necessary for proper scale tyre performance. The outer diameter of 3.70 inches (94.0mm) combined with the 1.37-inch (35.0mm) width creates an authentic proportion that looks correct on scale crawler bodies, whether you're running a Trail Finder 2 RTR, Trail Finder 2 LWB RTR, Gelande II RTR, or Marlin Crawler setup. The inner diameter of 1.70 inches (43.2mm) ensures compatibility exclusively with RC4WD's 1.7-inch wheel systems, maintaining the precision engineering standards that RC4WD is renowned for. Each tyre weighs only 45 grams, contributing to responsive handling and reduced rotational mass that translates to improved suspension performance during technical rock crawling sequences. The deep tread pattern mimics the genuine BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM3 design, providing visual authenticity whilst the compound formulation ensures consistent grip whether you're navigating loose gravel, mud, rocks, or mixed terrain courses. For serious RC crawler enthusiasts in the UK who demand both performance and authenticity, these tyres deliver uncompromising quality that justifies their premium positioning in the scale RC market.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these BFGoodrich KM3 tyres fit my existing RC wheels? — RC4WD tyres and wheels are engineered to work together as complete systems. These 1.7-inch tyres are specifically designed for RC4WD's 1.7-inch wheel range. Whilst fitment with other brand wheels may sometimes be possible, RC Model Shop cannot guarantee compatibility with non-RC4WD wheels due to variations in design specifications across different manufacturers. For best results and guaranteed fitment, use these tyres with authentic RC4WD wheels.
• Are these tyres suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Whilst these are premium scale tyres, they're excellent for any RC enthusiast new to scale crawling. The consistent grip provided by the X2S³ compound makes them forgiving and predictable, helping newer pilots build confidence on technical terrain. If you're new to RC crawling in the UK and want a quality setup, a Trail Finder 2 RTR fitted with these BFGoodrich tyres makes an outstanding platform for learning proper technique.
• How many sets of these tyres do I need? — One set contains two tyres, which is enough for one axle. To outfit a complete four-wheel RC crawler, you'll need to purchase two sets of this product. This gives you four tyres total plus four foam inserts to complete your vehicle setup.
• What makes these official BFGoodrich tyres different from generic scale tyres? — These tyres carry official licensing from BFGoodrich Tire Company, meaning the tread pattern and design are authentically based on the real-world Mud Terrain T/A KM3 tyre. This ensures visual accuracy and brand authenticity that generic branded tyres simply cannot match. For scale purists and collectors, this official licensing represents genuine value. Additionally, the advanced X2S³ compound provides performance characteristics specifically tuned for scale RC use rather than being a generic rubber mixture.
• Will these BFGoodrich tyres work with my Trail Finder 2? — Yes, these tyres are specifically designed to be compatible with the Trail Finder 2 range, including the Trail Finder 2 LWB RTR, Trail Finder 2 RTR, Trail Finder 2 Truck Kit LWB, and Trail Finder 2 Truck Kit. They'll also fit the Trail Finder 2 RTR with Chevrolet Blazer Body and work excellently on the Gelande II RTR and Marlin Crawler platforms.
• Do I need to purchase wheels separately? — Yes, you'll need RC4WD 1.7-inch wheels to mount these tyres. The tyres alone are supplied without wheels. RC Model Shop stocks a range of compatible RC4WD wheels in various styles including beadlock wheels and stamped steel options.
• What foam inserts are included? — The package includes two foam inserts specifically matched to these 1.7-inch tyres. These inserts are essential for maintaining tyre shape and providing the proper sidewall compliance needed for scale terrain performance. They work together with the tyre to create the handling characteristics expected from a professional-grade scale crawler setup.
• Can I use these tyres on a rock crawler or trail truck? — These tyres excel on both rock crawlers and trail trucks. The Mud Terrain T/A KM3 profile provides excellent grip across rocky, technical terrain whilst the realistic sidewall design maintains scale authenticity.
