This RC front tyre is a rubber slick built for the Associated RC 18T touring car, supplied with an internal insert set at a 40 degree angle to manage the contact patch for predictable steering. It is aimed at tuning front-end response and maintaining linear feel through cornering.
Mounting is straightforward on standard 18T wheels: take the wheel off the hub, insert the internal support with the 40 degree orientation aligned to the rim, then seat the bead evenly and secure the tyre. Use accepted glue or retention techniques and verify seating before balancing the assembly.
On high-grip surfaces this tyre helps dial in front traction and steering precision, allowing incremental changes to understeer or oversteer by swapping front profiles and inserts rather than changing suspension settings.
