Summary of the Tamiya 70145 Narrow Tire Set

The Tamiya 70145 Narrow Tire Set is designed for hobby projects and educational builds needing narrow wheels. The set ships with two hub fittings so you can adapt the tyres to different shaft types without custom machining.

Size and Hub Options

These tyres are 58mm in diameter with a 16mm width, giving a slim profile suited to road and indoor surfaces. Included hubs support both hex shafts, found on many small gearboxes, and round shafts for alternative motor arrangements.

Recommended Applications

Suitable for scale models, simple robots, and prototype platforms where a narrow wheel is desired. The interchangeable hub choices make the set handy for iterative design and classroom demonstrations.

What should I check before fitting these tyres?

Check shaft diameter and profile, ensure the chosen hub matches the shaft, and inspect the wheel for flat spots before mounting to avoid imbalance.

Can these be used on rough surfaces?

They perform best on smooth, even surfaces; frequent use on rough ground will wear the tyre tread faster and may reduce lifespan.

Do I need special tools to swap hubs?

Basic hand tools are usually sufficient to swap hubs. A small hex driver and a press-fit tool or careful hand pressure will normally do the job.

Are spare hubs available separately?

Spare or replacement hubs depend on stock from suppliers; check with hobby outlets for individual hub parts if you need extras.
