Precision Soft Front Tyres for Tamiya F104

Specifically made for the Tamiya F104, F104X1 and F104 Version II platforms, these soft front tyres are matched to the standard foam wheel profile. They are compatible with item numbers 54400 (F104 Metal Plated Wheels) and 51378 (F104 Spare Wheels Set) and are intended to enhance steering feel on asphalt and carpet race surfaces.

Mounting Procedure and Best Practices

The Tamiya 1031 F1 Soft Front Tires provide a tacky contact patch for improved front-end feedback. Fit the included foam insert so it is even and free of creases. Make a 2mm hole in each wheel to allow trapped air to escape and to establish the important air gap. Slide the tyre onto the outer wheel face, check sidewall alignment, then secure the bead with CA glue and let the adhesive cure thoroughly before running.

Yes, they deliver improved steering on a range of asphalt finishes, though track traction will vary with surface condition and temperature.
Allow the CA glue to air dry fully for several minutes; avoid stressing the joint until the glue feels hard to ensure a reliable bond.
The softer compound increases front grip which can change understeer or oversteer balance; small setup tweaks to toe or swaybars may be needed to dial handling in.
