Front radial tyres for consistent handling

This pair of front radial rubber tyres is intended for use on the Associated RC18T. The tyre accepts a 40 degree foam insert which, together with the rubber tread, stabilises the contact patch to maintain consistent steering feel during cornering. This is a front-fit accessory for the specified chassis.

To fit, place the foam insert inside the tyre prior to wheel mounting, ensure the bead is evenly seated, and glue the tyre to the rim as required. Check steering arm clearance and full suspension travel; minimal trimming of the bead or insert may be necessary to avoid rubbing on hubs or body mounts.

In setup terms these radials affect initial turn-in and mid-corner balance. Adjusting insert firmness or swapping tyre position side-to-side can tune transient response and turn-in without changing suspension geometry.

Will these fit without modification?

They are designed to fit Associated RC18T front rims; most stock wheels will accept the tyre and insert with no modification.

Which surfaces benefit most from these tyres?

Carpet and smooth asphalt tracks benefit from a stable contact patch; these tyres are aimed at club tracks where consistent front feel matters.

How do I tweak handling with these tyres?

Try different insert densities or rotate left-to-right to alter turn-in and transient response before changing spring or damper settings.
