Optimise F104 Grip with Tamiya 54199 Soft Rear Tyres

On chillier race days where grip is reduced, fitting the Tamiya 54199 soft rear rubber tyres to an F104 can restore rear traction and improve steering accuracy. These tyres suit drivers seeking predictable behaviour in lower temperature conditions.

What Makes the Tamiya 54199 Suitable for Cold Tracks

  • Soft Compound: Keeps rubber pliable in cooler environments to sustain traction through corners.
  • Compatibility: Matches the Tamiya 51398 F104 Mesh Wheel Set for Rubber Tires for correct mounting.
  • Dimensions: Rear tyre width is 35mm and overall diameter is 64mm.

Practical Setup Notes for the F104

When used with the standard front tyres (part number 51399), Tamiya 54199 rears generally sharpen steering and can produce mild oversteer. That behaviour is often beneficial for drivers seeking a more agile entry on colder surfaces.

I have been very very pleased with my purchase of an extensive package of a Tamiya 1:14 Truck and Trailer, and many extra needed products to go with it. RCJaz had all the products I needed, yes it is easier buying from just one seller. And their prices

Tamiya 56535 - Trop.35 Aluminum Coupler Lever Plate for Tractor Truck. Good service, Fast shipping, and you had the part
Yes, they are a common choice for colder club events because their compound helps maintain grip when track temps are down.
They can improve consistency by reducing unpredictable slips in corner entry on cold surfaces, though setup and wheel pairing should be checked for even wear.
Store them flat or on the intended wheels in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent deformation of the soft compound.
