Performance Rear Slick Tyres by Tamiya

Elevate your 1/10 scale setup with the Tamiya 40144 Rear Slick Tyres. These 42mm diameter by 24mm wide tyres are tailored for smooth tarmac and indoor circuits where consistent rear traction improves lap predictability.

Slick Construction for Consistent Grip

The smooth profile offers a predictable contact area and reduced rolling resistance, aiding acceleration and stable mid-corner handling. They are well suited to drivers refining suspension and diff settings for racing.

Compatibility with Common Tamiya Chassis

The Tamiya 40144 Rear Slick Tyres work with several Tamiya 1/10 chassis models including 50569, 50825, 50972, 51237, 53341, and 40146. Installation is quick on standard rims so you can swap tyres between practice and competition without delay.

What track conditions suit these tyres?

They perform best on dry, smooth surfaces like sealed tracks and indoor circuits. On loose or wet surfaces you will see reduced grip compared with treaded options.

Are these compatible with standard 1/10 rims?

Yes, these tyres are made for standard 1/10 rims. Verify rim width relative to the 24mm tyre width for optimal seating and profile.

How should I glue them for race use?

Use a purpose tyre adhesive or thin CA applied evenly around the bead. Ensure the tyre seats fully and allow glue to cure before running to avoid slippage.

Will they change the car's handling balance?

Switching to slicks like the Tamiya 40144 typically increases rear traction on smooth surfaces, which can alter understeer or oversteer balance. Tuning suspension or toe may be required.

How predictable is tyre wear?

Wear depends on compound, track abrasiveness and driving style. These tyres are built for repeatable wear patterns to help with setup decisions across sessions.
