Fine-tune on-road handling with Tamiya slick tyres

For 1/10 M-chassis models the Tamiya 53215 M-Chassis Slick Tires offer a broad contact area to stabilise steering and traction on sealed roads and tracks. They are suited to drivers seeking repeatable on-road performance.

Main features at a glance

Slick Profile: Smooth rubber tyre surface maximises adhesion to flat surfaces, enhancing straight-line grip and corner stability.
Fits M-Chassis: Tailored for Tamiya M-chassis platforms, including compact on-road kits, ensuring a compatible fit.
Measurements: 24mm width and 55mm outer diameter to meet common M-chassis tyre dimensions.

Mounting tips for reliable performance

Glue the tyres to the rims with CA glue to avoid any slippage while running. A clean, secure bond maintains tyre positioning and consistent handling under load.

Are these suitable for competitive on-road classes?

They are commonly used for on-road M-chassis applications. Check specific class rules as some events mandate particular tyre compounds or patterns.

How do they behave on abrasive surfaces?

Abrasion will wear the rubber faster than smooth track surfaces. Expect reduced service life on rough or gritty asphalt compared to indoor tracks.

Will these work on Mini Cooper style bodies?

Yes, they are compatible with many Mini Cooper M-chassis kits, as they are produced for the M-chassis wheel dimensions typically used with those bodies.

What is the best way to clean these tyres?

Wipe with a soft cloth to remove loose debris and avoid harsh solvents. Gentle cleaning preserves the rubber and maintains consistent grip.
