This standardised fitting is industry-recognised and easy to install without specialised tools.

• 2.2" Size — The 2.2-inch diameter is the factory-standard size for the Kanyon 4x4, maintaining the correct ground clearance, approach angles and overall vehicle handling characteristics that the platform was designed around.
• Front and Rear Compatible — This pack includes two complete tyre and wheel assemblies suitable for both front and rear axle positions, providing maximum flexibility in your spares rotation and reducing inventory complexity.

Technical Performance

The FTX Kanyon Mounted Tyres 2.2" represent a quality replacement option for serious scale rock crawlers. The 12mm hex connection system is the industry standard for 1/10 scale vehicles, providing a reliable and secure mechanical interface that has been proven across thousands of crawlers worldwide. These are genuine OEM parts sourced directly from FTX, meaning the materials, construction methods and tyre compound have been specifically formulated to work in harmony with the Kanyon's suspension geometry, drivetrain ratios and weight distribution. The 2.2" size maintains the correct scaling for authentic 1/10 proportions whilst providing adequate ground clearance for technical rock crawling and scale trail navigation. Pre-mounting saves assembly time and eliminates potential fitment issues that can arise from amateur wheel building. Whether you're replacing worn tyres after intensive season use or building a complete spare set for competition or trail events, these mounted tyres ensure your Kanyon maintains its designed performance envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres compatible with my FTX Kanyon crawler? — Yes, these FTX Kanyon Mounted Tyres 2.2" are designed specifically for the FTX Kanyon 4x4 RTR 1/10 XL Trail Crawler and the FTX Kanyon 4x4 Mountain Rescue 2-Speed variant. The 12mm hex fitting and 2.2" size match the factory specification exactly, ensuring perfect fitment to both front and rear axles without modification.
• Do I need to assemble these tyres myself? — No. These tyres arrive pre-mounted on wheels and ready to fit directly onto your Kanyon's hubs. Simply remove your old wheels, align the hex drive and push the new assembly onto the axle. No wheel building, gluing or balancing is required.
• Why would I need replacement Kanyon tyres? — Tyres wear naturally through use, especially when tackling challenging terrain such as rocky trails, rocky gardens, or mixed surfaces. Having replacement tyres on hand means you can keep your Kanyon running consistently without extended downtime. Different terrain conditions may also benefit from different tyre choices, making spares useful for adjusting performance.
• What is the difference between these mounted tyres and buying wheels and tyres separately? — These come as a complete pre-assembled package, eliminating assembly labour and potential fitment issues. If you were to buy wheels and tyres separately, you would need to remove the old tyres from your existing wheels, mount new ones (which requires specialist equipment), and balance them. These mounted units skip all that and arrive ready to use.
• Can I use these tyres on other FTX models? — These are specifically sized and fitted for the Kanyon platform. Whilst the 12mm hex is a common standard, the 2.2" size may not be appropriate for other FTX crawler models, which may use different sizes. Always verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
• How do I install these tyres? — Installation is straightforward. Grip your Kanyon's wheel, locate the 12mm hex drive, align the new tyre's hex socket with the axle drive, and push firmly until the wheel seats fully. Remove by gripping the tyre firmly and twisting whilst pulling outward. Most users can change all four wheels in under five minutes.
