Overview
The Tamiya Rear Tyres (2 pcs.) for Buggy Champ/Rough Rider TAM9805049 are genuine replacement rear tyres designed specifically for your Tamiya 1/10 scale buggy. Whether you're enjoying weekend bashing sessions or competitive racing, having quality replacement tyres is essential for maintaining peak performance and grip on various track surfaces. These tyres are OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts, meaning they are the exact same tyres that came fitted to your Tamiya Buggy Champ or Rough Rider when it left the factory. If you own a Tamiya RC buggy in the UK and need reliable, authentic replacement tyres that won't let you down, these genuine Tamiya rear tyres are the perfect choice.
RC enthusiasts and serious competitors know that tyres make a significant difference to how your buggy performs on the track. Worn or damaged tyres can compromise your cornering ability, acceleration grip, and overall handling characteristics. By choosing genuine Tamiya replacement tyres, you're ensuring your buggy maintains factory-specification performance and handling dynamics. These rear tyres are engineered to work perfectly with your buggy's suspension geometry and weight distribution, giving you consistent and predictable performance lap after lap. For anyone running a Tamiya buggy as a ready to run RC car or as part of a custom setup, having a spare set of rear tyres in your pit bag is a smart investment.
Tamiya has been manufacturing quality RC vehicles and components for decades, and their attention to detail extends to every part they produce, including these rear tyres. These tyres come as a pack of two complete rear tyres, which is exactly what you need to replace the rear axle tyres on your buggy. Stock up on spares so you're never caught without fresh rubber when you need it most.
