Overview

The Tamiya 15396 Small Diameter Offset Tread Tires provide Mini 4WD builders with a practical way to tweak handling. The offset tread design allows you to alter the tyre profile to favour either grip or velocity depending on the circuit.

Design and Fit

This pack includes four tyres suited to Mini 4WD models that use small diameter wheels. Their diameter is 24.2mm, matching common Mini 4WD Pro wheel sizes for easy mounting. The offset tread makes it straightforward to set a narrow or wide tyre stance.

Performance Characteristics

The offset feature delivers two main setup choices. Narrow positioning tends to enhance straight-line performance, while wider positioning gives stronger cornering stability. Use the offset to tailor handling to your racing approach.

Usage Guide

  • Smaller offset: Favours straight-line pace but sacrifices some corner grip.
  • Larger offset: Increases cornering security with a slight reduction in top speed.
They work well on typical Mini 4WD circuit surfaces. Use the wider offset on twisty layouts for more control, and the narrower offset on tracks with long straights to improve speed.
No special rims are required beyond those that accept 24.2mm small-diameter tyres. Confirm rim internal diameter and hub clearance before fitting to avoid rubbing.
Run a set of consistent laps with each offset, noting corner speed and exit stability as well as lap time. That comparison will show which offset gives the best overall performance for your setup.
