Stabilise Handling with the Tamiya 53230 Hard Wide Sponges

Serious RC drivers seeking steadier handling can use the Tamiya 53230 Wide Inner Sponge Set (Hard) to firm up tyre response. These hard sponges support the tyre carcass and reduce unpredictable deformation, helping to keep steering inputs consistent across laps. They are a straightforward upgrade for competitive setups.

What the Hard Wide Insert Changes

By increasing internal support, hard inserts limit tyre sidewall collapse and improve predictability under cornering forces. This leads to more consistent lines and better feedback through the steering. The wide insert shape is intended to accommodate a range of tyre widths for reliable seating.

Service and Replacement Advice

Fitting Tamiya 53230 inserts can even out tyre wear and make tyre life more predictable when you race regularly. Check inserts when you change tyres and replace them if they become compressed or misshapen to maintain consistent handling.

They are aimed at on-road tyre applications and will suit many touring car tyres, but always check the tyre internal width and rim fit before fitting.
In some cases minor trimming may be needed for a perfect sit; use a sharp blade and remove small amounts until the insert seats evenly.
A correctly seated insert should not unbalance a tyre significantly; check balance after fitting and adjust if you notice vibration.
Remove the tyre and visually inspect inserts for compression or tears; clean with a soft brush and replace if they show permanent deformation.
