Precision Front Sponge Tyres for 1/10 RC Cars

Enthusiasts aiming for steady steering and repeatable lap times will find Tamiya 53743 1/10 Scale Glow Engine R/C Front Sponge Tyres a practical choice. The foam compound balances grip and wear across temperature shifts, and the pre-mounted wheels speed up tyre changes at the track.

Understanding the Hardness Scale

Sponge hardness is marked numerically; a larger number denotes a firmer tyre suited to smooth asphalt, while a smaller number indicates a softer tyre that improves bite on abrasive or uneven surfaces. Choosing the right hardness helps tune understeer and turn-in characteristics.

Yes, the tyres are shipped pre-mounted on wheels so you can fit them straight away without tyre mounting tools.
Typically fronts and rears differ to balance handling; experiment with front hardness and rear compounds to dial in understeer or oversteer.
Store them in a cool, dry place away from ozone sources and direct sunlight, ideally on the wheels to keep the sponge profile true.
