Product Snapshot

The Tamiya 15396 Small Diameter Offset Tread Tires are built for Mini 4WD fans who want quick, reversible changes to tyre behaviour. Offset treads let you shift traction characteristics to suit different race sections.

Fitment and Dimensions

The set contains four tyres compatible with small-diameter Mini 4WD wheels. They have a diameter of 24.2mm, aligning with many Mini 4WD Pro wheels and common small-wheel setups. The offset tread design supports both narrow and wider tyre placements.

Tuning Advantages

Using the offset positions lets racers prioritise either top-end speed or corner control. Narrow alignment helps on straights, while the wider placement improves turn-in and mid-corner stability. Mix and match offsets to balance grip and pace.

Practical Recommendations

  • Narrow alignment: Best for maximising straight-line speed, with reduced lateral grip.
  • Wide alignment: Better for corners and exit stability, with a slight top-speed trade-off.
Mixing is possible if the other tyres fit the same 24.2mm small-wheel rim spec. Differences in compound and profile will affect handling, so test before racing.
Offset choice can alter wear patterns; wider settings can produce more even sidewall contact through corners, while narrow setups may concentrate wear along the central tread line.
On hotter, grippier surfaces try the narrow offset to reduce drag, but monitor temperatures and lap consistency. Small changes to gearing and weight distribution also help manage traction.
