This front tyre is a rubber slick intended for the Associated RC 18T touring chassis, supplied with an internal insert angled at 40 degree to form a reliable contact patch. It is used for front-end tuning where steering precision and predictable feedback are priorities.
Installation on standard 18T wheels is simple: remove the wheel, locate the insert inside the tyre aligning the 40 degree orientation to the rim profile, then seat the bead evenly before refitting. Use standard RC tyre gluing or retention methods and check seating before balance and use.
For track or practice sessions on high-grip surfaces this tyre helps you micro-adjust front traction and steering balance by swapping insert profiles rather than changing suspension geometry.
