Mini-Z MB-010 Tuning Soft OPTIMA Tires (2pcs) - MBT001S by Kyosho  [KY-MBT001S]

Tuning Notes for MB-010

The Kyosho MBT001S pair is built for Mini-Z buggy builds on the MB-010 platform, combining a soft OPTIMA rubber compound with an internal foam backing. The assembly increases mechanical grip and driver feedback while keeping standard wheel geometry.

Fit each tyre onto a compatible Mini-Z rim, seat the bead evenly, and ensure the foam insert is centred before securing the wheel. Correct mounting and a quick static balance reduce hop and irregular wear on tight layouts.

As a tuning option, the softer OPTIMA compound will give you better corner traction but wear faster and slightly raise rolling resistance. Use these tyres to prioritise cornering bite on indoor carpet or short asphalt tracks, and switch compounds when conserving tyre life is more important.

Routine upkeep: inspect foam inserts for compression after repeated running, rotate tyres to even out wear, and check wheel hexes and mating surfaces for debris to avoid slippage that mimics tyre faults.

This set is ideal for drivers adjusting low-speed traction and handling dynamics on compact circuits in Mini-Z MB-010 builds.
