Overview

The RC4WD Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 1.0" Micro Scale Tyres (Z-T0161) bring authentic rally-inspired tread detail and confident grip to your micro crawler. Officially licensed by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, these scale tyres are engineered specifically for 1/18 scale RC crawlers and micro rock crawlers popular throughout the UK RC hobby community. Whether you're running a micro scale RC vehicle on challenging terrain or enjoying weekend crawling sessions, these tyres deliver the realistic proportions and performance characteristics that dedicated RC enthusiasts demand. Available only from RC4WD and authorised dealers, these are the perfect upgrade or replacement for anyone looking to enhance their micro scale RC car performance.

If you own an RC4WD 1/18 Gelande II RTR or other compatible 1.0" wheel-equipped micro crawlers, these Goodyear-branded tyres represent a significant step up in both authenticity and grip. The soft compound rubber and realistic tread pattern make these ideal for scale rock crawling, technical terrain negotiation, and detailed scale builds where appearance matters as much as performance. UK-based RC enthusiasts will appreciate the precision engineering and official Goodyear licensing that sets these tyres apart from generic alternatives.

Each pack contains two complete tyres with foam inserts and a Goodyear decal sheet, everything you need to transform the look and handling of your micro scale RC crawler. The compact 1.0" wheel size makes these tyres perfect for tight spaces and intricate scale course layouts, whilst the advanced rubber compound ensures consistent grip across various surfaces.

Key Features

• Officially Licensed Goodyear Design — These tyres are officially licensed by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, meaning you get authentic Goodyear branding and design proportions that make your RC crawler look and feel like a genuine scale model. This licensing represents a commitment to accuracy and quality that casual RC tyre alternatives simply cannot match.
• Advanced X2S³ Compound — RC4WD's proprietary soft X2S³ rubber compound provides excellent grip on both smooth and textured surfaces whilst maintaining durability through extended use. This specially formulated rubber is engineered specifically for micro scale crawler applications, offering superior traction compared to standard RC tyres.
• 1.0" Wheel Compatibility — These tyres are designed exclusively for 1.0" wheels, ensuring perfect fitment and performance on RC4WD micro scale vehicles including the 1/18 Gelande II RTR range. The specific wheel size optimises both scale appearance and handling characteristics for micro crawlers.
• Realistic Tread Pattern — The detailed MT/R (Mud Terrain/Rock) tread pattern provides authentic visual appeal whilst delivering genuine functional grip improvements. Whether on display or in use, these tyres showcase professional-level attention to scale detail.
• Included Foam Inserts — Each tyre comes with 30-degree foam inserts that work in harmony with the rubber compound to absorb impacts, improve handling over rocky terrain, and provide consistent performance across varied surfaces. These foam elements are essential for optimal crawler performance.
• Goodyear Decal Sheet — Complete your scale build with the included authentic Goodyear decal sheet, allowing you to add factory-accurate branding details to your wheels and bodywork for maximum visual impact.
• Compact Micro Scale Size — With an outer diameter of just 54.04mm and width of 19.62mm, these tyres maintain perfect proportions for 1/18 scale vehicles whilst providing adequate ground clearance for demanding terrain. The compact footprint makes these ideal for intricate scale courses and technical rock crawling.
• Lightweight Construction — At just 9.5 grams per tyre, these are engineered for minimal unsprung weight, which improves suspension performance and overall handling dynamics on micro scale crawlers. Lighter tyres mean quicker steering response and better obstacle negotiation.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 1.0" Micro Scale Tyres represent precision engineering at the micro scale level. Constructed from RC4WD's advanced X2S³ rubber compound, these tyres deliver performance characteristics that traditional RC tyre manufacturers simply do not prioritise at the 1/18 scale level. The soft compound formula ensures grip levels that make a tangible difference when navigating technical terrain, whilst maintaining enough durability for consistent session-to-session use without premature degradation. The outer diameter of 54.04mm and width of 19.62mm maintain perfect scale proportions whilst the inner diameter of 23.43mm ensures secure fitment on 1.0" wheels without slippage or play. Each tyre weighs just 9.5 grams, keeping overall vehicle weight low and allowing suspension systems to work more effectively. The 30-degree foam inserts included with each pair are specifically tuned for the micro scale application, absorbing impacts from rocks and obstacles whilst helping to maintain consistent contact patch pressure. The realistic MT/R tread pattern is not merely cosmetic — the individual tread blocks contribute to genuine performance improvements on loose, rocky, and uneven surfaces by providing multiple contact points and improved mud/dirt shedding characteristics. RC4WD's engineering philosophy ensures these tyres work in perfect harmony with their wheels and suspension systems; whilst compatibility with other manufacturers' products may sometimes be possible, RC4WD cannot guarantee fitment with third-party wheels due to variations in wheel design and diameter tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these micro scale tyres fit my RC4WD 1/18 Gelande II RTR? — Yes, absolutely. These 1.0" tyres are specifically designed for RC4WD 1/18 scale vehicles including all variants of the Gelande II RTR with BlackJack, Black Rock, and D90 body sets. RC4WD tyres and wheels are engineered to work together seamlessly. If you are using RC4WD 1.0" beadlock wheels like the Raceline Monster (Z-W0252), fitment is guaranteed. However, due to variations in wheel design from other manufacturers, we recommend verifying compatibility before purchase if you are using non-RC4WD wheels.
• What is the advantage of the X2S³ compound over standard RC tyres? — The advanced X2S³ compound is specifically formulated for micro scale crawler applications, offering superior grip across a wider range of surfaces compared to generic RC compounds. This proprietary rubber formula maintains consistency from the first run through extended use, and balances grip with durability in ways that standard compounds simply cannot achieve at the micro scale level.
• Are these tyres suitable for indoor crawling courses? — Yes, these tyres perform excellently on indoor rock crawling courses with artificial obstacles, foam blocks, and textured surfaces. The soft compound and realistic tread pattern provide confident grip and consistent performance in controlled indoor environments, making them ideal for UK RC clubs and hobby facilities.
• What do the 30-degree foam inserts do? — The foam inserts work in conjunction with the rubber compound to absorb impacts when navigating rocks, roots, and obstacles. They help maintain consistent ground contact, improve handling over uneven terrain, and reduce the shock transmitted to your vehicle's suspension and chassis. This combination of soft rubber and foam provides superior performance compared to hard rubber tyres without inserts.
• Can I use these tyres with other brand wheels? — RC4WD tyres and wheels are specifically designed to work together, and fitment is guaranteed on RC4WD 1.0" wheels. Whilst these tyres may sometimes work with other brands' 1.0" wheels, RC4WD cannot guarantee compatibility due to differences in wheel bore diameter, bead design, and overall construction. For best results, we strongly recommend using these tyres with RC4WD wheels.
• How long will these tyres last? — The advanced X2S³ compound is engineered for durability and consistent performance through extended use. Tyre lifespan depends on your usage patterns — frequent crawling on rough terrain will see more wear than occasional recreational use. The soft compound is optimised for grip rather than maximum longevity, so these are designed as performance tyres rather than ultra-durable commuter tyres. They represent excellent value for serious micro scale crawler enthusiasts.
• Are these tyres officially licensed Goodyear products? — Yes, these tyres are officially licensed by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio USA. RC4WD holds the exclusive licensing agreement for these micro scale Goodyear Wrangler MT/R designs, meaning you are purchasing genuine licensed products with authentic Goodyear branding and design proportions.
• What is the scale and wheel size of these tyres? — These are 1/18 micro scale tyres designed for 1.0" wheels. The compact sizing makes them ideal for detailed scale builds and technical rock crawling applications where proper scale proportions are essential. The 54.04mm outer diameter is perfectly suited to 1/18 scale vehicle dimensions.
