Overview

The FMS Sweep Hankook Tread 36Deg 24mm Glued TC Tyres (SSF-36AWPG) represent a premium choice for RC enthusiasts in the UK seeking genuine performance on asphalt surfaces. These pre-glued touring car tyres are engineered specifically for 1/10 scale electric and nitro on-road platforms, delivering consistent grip and stable handling across a wide range of driving conditions.

The 36-degree compound has been specifically formulated for asphalt driving, making these tyres an ideal upgrade for outdoor running on concrete, tarmac, and sealed surfaces where maximum grip and predictable performance are essential.

These ready-to-glue tyres come pre-assembled on quality wheels, eliminating the guesswork of DIY gluing and ensuring perfect balance from the first moment you fit them to your RC touring car. For anyone running a brushless RC car UK platform or a traditional nitro-powered on-road machine, the SSF-36AWPG tyres deliver the performance foundation that competitive drivers rely on.

Key Features

• 36-Degree Compound — The soft 36-degree compound has been engineered specifically for asphalt surfaces, providing maximum grip and traction on outdoor sealed tracks and concrete surfaces. This compound temperature rating means the tyres will generate optimal grip across a broader range of ambient conditions, giving you confidence in consistent performance whether racing in summer heat or cooler spring and autumn sessions.
• Internal Belting — Manufactured with internal belting structure, these tyres resist expansion at speed, which is critical for maintaining a consistent contact patch and predictable handling as your 1/10 scale RC car reaches peak velocity. The belting prevents tyre growth that can otherwise cause handling changes and instability on faster runs.
• EXP-C Moulded Inserts — Advanced EXP-C moulded inserts provide structural rigidity and sidewall support, contributing to more precise steering response and better cornering performance. These inserts help maintain tyre shape under lateral acceleration, essential for stable high-speed cornering on asphalt.
• New Outdoor Tread Pattern — The innovative outdoor tread pattern has been developed specifically for asphalt racing, optimising water dispersion and surface contact. The realistic tread design not only looks authentic on your 12-spoke wheels but also provides genuine functional benefits for traction on various asphalt conditions.
• 12mm Hex Fitment — The universal 12mm hexagon wheel adaptor ensures compatibility with the vast majority of 1/10 scale electric on-road and 1/10 scale nitro on-road RC cars currently available in the UK market, including front-wheel drive touring cars and GT class vehicles. This standardised fitment makes these tyres a drop-in solution for most modern platforms.
• Officially Licensed Hankook Tyres — Carrying genuine Hankook licensing, these tyres benefit from real-world tyre development expertise. The Hankook brand is synonymous with quality in full-size motorsport, and that engineering heritage translates into reliable, predictable performance on your RC car UK setup.
• Realistic 12-Spoke Wheel Design — The new realistic wheel design features genuine 12-spoke styling that adds authentic scale appearance to your RC vehicle. For collectors and hobbyists who appreciate the finer details, these wheels elevate the visual presentation of your touring car significantly.
• Pre-Glued Ready to Use — These tyres arrive pre-glued to the wheels, eliminating the need for separate adhesive application and the associated risk of imperfect gluing. This factory preparation ensures optimal tyre-to-wheel bonding from day one, giving you immediate confidence in tyre retention at speed.

Technical Performance

The SWEEP Hankook 36Deg TC tyres represent engineering excellence in the 1/10 scale touring car category. The 36-degree compound rating indicates a relatively soft compound formulation optimised for asphalt racing, providing superior grip compared to harder compound alternatives on sealed surfaces. The internal belting construction is a critical performance element, preventing tyre expansion that occurs under centrifugal forces during high-speed running. This structural integrity maintains consistent tyre diameter and contact patch throughout your racing session, preventing the handling changes that can occur with unbelted tyres as they warm up and expand. The 24mm wheel diameter paired with the EXP-C moulded inserts creates a rigid, responsive tyre assembly that communicates precise feedback through your RC car's chassis, allowing for more confident and controlled driving inputs. The 12mm hex fitment is the industry-standard connection point for 1/10 scale touring cars, making these tyres immediately compatible with platforms such as FWD touring cars, GT vehicles, and other contemporary on-road designs. Whether you're running a brushless electric system or a traditional nitro-powered engine, these tyres provide the consistent performance foundation that competitive drivers require. The outdoor tread pattern has been engineered to manage water evacuation on damp asphalt, whilst maintaining maximum contact patch on dry sealed surfaces, making these tyres genuinely versatile for UK outdoor RC racing conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these Hankook TC tyres fit my FTX Stinger RC car? — Yes, according to the manufacturer's guidance, these 12mm hex tyres are compatible with FTX Stinger vehicles, as confirmed by authorised dealers. The standard 12mm hex fitment ensures compatibility with most 1/10 scale touring car platforms available in the UK RC market.
• What is the difference between 36-degree and other compound ratings for RC tyres? — The 36-degree compound designation indicates a relatively soft tyre compound. Softer compounds (lower numbers) provide more grip but wear faster, whilst harder compounds (higher numbers) last longer but provide less traction. The 36-degree rating on these Hankook tyres makes them particularly suitable for asphalt racing where maximum grip is prioritised over longevity, making them ideal for competitive touring car racing.
• Are these tyres pre-glued or do I need to glue them myself? — These tyres arrive completely pre-glued to the wheels, eliminating any requirement for DIY adhesive application. The factory gluing ensures optimal adhesion and allows you to install the tyres immediately upon receipt without additional preparation or curing time.
• What type of RC cars do these 24mm tyres fit? — The 12mm hex fitment and 24mm wheel diameter make these tyres compatible with most 1/10 electric on-road RC cars and 1/10 nitro on-road RC cars. This includes front-wheel drive touring cars and GT class vehicles. Specifically, the SSF-36AWPG has been confirmed compatible with vehicles such as the FTX Stinger.
• Why would I choose these Hankook tyres over other TC tyre options? — The official Hankook licensing brings genuine engineering expertise to your RC setup, the internal belting provides structural integrity at speed, and the EXP-C moulded inserts deliver responsive handling characteristics. The new outdoor tread pattern is specifically designed for asphalt surfaces, making these tyres a premium choice for serious on-road racing in the UK.
• Can I use these on both dry and damp asphalt? — Yes, the outdoor tread pattern and 36-degree compound have been engineered to perform well on both dry sealed surfaces and slightly damp asphalt, making these tyres genuinely versatile for UK outdoor racing conditions where weather can change rapidly.
