Versatile Offset Tread Tyres for Mini 4WD Setups

The Tamiya 15397 JR Low-Profile Offset Tread Tires let drivers adjust the contact patch to influence handling. Swapping between offsets helps you tailor the chassis response for sharper turns or steadier runs down the straight.

Main Features and Fitment

  • Adjustable Tread Width: The tires can be set to narrow (53.4mm) or wide (63.4mm) configurations, allowing up to a 10mm variance in total tread width.
  • Performance Impact: Narrow treads enhance stability in straight lines but reduce cornering traction, while wide treads improve cornering grip at the expense of straight-line stability.
  • Compatibility: Ideal for Mini 4WDs utilizing low-height wheels, specifically compatible with Tamiya items 15358 and 15359.

Handling and Setup Guidance

These tyres offer straightforward tuning options for both newcomers and experienced racers. Make incremental changes and note handling differences to arrive at a reliable setup for a particular meeting or track layout.

Ordered quite a lot of stuff from these guys & the packaging & condition of the items delivered was excellent. The service is second to none & I will definitely buy from these again.
Yes. Widening the tread typically increases lateral grip and improves cornering, while narrowing the tread favours stability through fast sections.
They are designed for low-height wheel types; the tyres are confirmed compatible with Tamiya item numbers 15358 and 15359. Match the wheel profile for correct seating.
Test one variable at a time and record lap times. Start with the narrow setting to establish baseline stability, then try wide to evaluate cornering gains.
